I wonder if you are talking about my old congo?
Supposedly one brother almost died from candida-at least, that was according to his mother (who never did let him go and lead a normal life. The poor guy will never get married thanks to his mamma).
since someone started a thread about "remember when there were pianos in the hall"?
i thought i would start this thread ... remember when everyone thought they had candida?
maybe it was just in il and wi.

for those who are in my old congregation "lurking" for me here i am ......i have gotten word through the "almighty jw gossip grapevine" someone is spying on me.. brooke autumn ehlert!.
i had a full thread about this but i used names, dates, and personal info - which unknowingly to me some rules i must have forgotten to follow .. if you would like the full thread pm me your e-mail,(not sending through jwd pm) and i will send it to you.
even the lurkers are welcome to read what i have to say!.
Thank you, Brooke. As I suspected, my hubby and I know quite a few of them. Thank you for shedding light on the people we almost had to spend eternity with! LOL

i just want to share this with you all.. a few weeks ago, trev (dedpoet) popped the question, and of course i accepted, so we are getting married!!
we have been busy getting things started since then, hence the slight delay in posting our news.
we aren't in a particular hurry, as we have no desire to have children.
Congratulations!
I love the way your sweet story has played out. I love happy endings!
i have been officially gone from the witnesses less than 2 months but i know they are always coming out with new light.
i got a shock today when i was invited to a cousins wedding that will be held in a kh.
i am not invited to the reception.
You posted it on the KH door? I LOVE THIS! I only wish I had done the same thing. I am very, very impressed!
i attended my mother's memorial at the kingdom hall saturday afternoon.
even with the jw sermon tagged on, my cousin did a lovely service for her.
there were many jws and non-jws in attendence.
Oh Merry, I'm so sorry.
Sadly, I have been to funerals where this has happened. One was the daughter of the deceased. It opened my eyes, and it was the last Witnoid funeral I ever attended. I wish I had known then what I know now, because I would definitely have gone up to this woman and stuck to her side, instead of letting her be shunned. But I thought it all was "the truth". I still feel ashamed.
Hey, I'll help you write a few letters to your family and set the record straight. You can even use my email address (if you want to send them that way ) in case your addy is blocked.
if the elders came and inspected your home - what would they find?.
a casual look around reveals a box of "narnia" tissues on my desk, 12 or 14 non-witness translations of bibles on my shelves, many non approved novels [wifey's] on the reading table, plenty of 'apostate literature', a book or two on meditation, a hypnosis cd for weight loss, prob many toys that are not witness approved in the g-kids room, a half eaten birthday cake, a birthday balloon, xmas wrapping paper in the closet , a couple of r rated movies, music that is not acceptable.. that is just at first blush.
how is your house?
Well, let's see.
The American flag hanging on our house.
The Stop Watchtower Abuse stickers on our mailbox and on our vehicles.
No Trespassing sign.
And that's just on the outside. Guess they'll never see the inside.

i cant email everyone ....dont have time.
my brother committed suicide.... have to be out of town for awhile.. purps
I am so, so sorry.
not a society apologist!!
just wanting to know what you all think.
does this "sound" fair & balanced, you decide.
keo-I mean no disrespect, but I have personally had the elders tell me that if I warned anyone in the congregation about the molester I would be charged with slander. Then I was marked, then shunned-I'm sure you know the procedure. They made my decision to leave very, very easy intellectually. Emotionally it took longer.
I now proclaim to the entire world the seamy JW underworld-one I had no idea of as a JW until it effected me personally. There is no "both sides" in this particular situation.
What is, is.
not a society apologist!!
