i was born into the "truth", so it is pretty much to only life i have known.
i have been studying the bible seriously since my teens, about 15+ years.
then it hit me about 6 months ago, i?m not really studying the bible, but rather the wt publications.

up until this evening i had thought teresa schiavo was in an unconcious state, lying on a bed with just a machine keeping her alive.
how wrong was i?
i saw her smiling and showing awareness of her surroundings.
Brummie,
I think that your first post in this thread brought out some very good points to which I tend to agree. I do not think that it is right for her to be deprived of food and water which will result in her death. She was NOT dying until they pulled the plug on her feeding tube!
I do not think that the 'powers that be' and the news media want to address the potential abuse issues, rather they want to only bring out the 'right-to-die' issues. Needless to say I do not agree with them.
What IF Michael is lying?
What if Terri did not discuss this with him, as he claims?
Why did Michael 'remember' Terri's wishes only after he got the large money award from the courts?
What if HE is responsible for her having that so-called 'heart episode' that fateful night - by choking her?
Would SHE really want him to be her legal guardian if he is the one that did this to her in the first place?
These are all unanswered questions in My mind.
This situation is so tragic. I feel for Terri's parents. If they are willing to care for her I do not see why that's a problem. I question Michael's unwillingness to allow this. I also have an issue with his plans for her when it is she dies. Cremation? What is he trying to hide? What is to become of her remains? Will there be a battle over them? Why no gravesite for loved ones to visit?
There are, unfortunately, just so many questions.
i think i've finally left the jw's.
i have not been an active member since 2000, but always thought i would go back.
the problem (or solution) has been that i started to reason on how the true god or super being really viewed mankind.

i stumbled on this site by accident and i'm kind of glad i did.
in the past i have typically avoided these sites because most people on them seem newly bitter and i didn't like the tone.
i was raised a witness by an alcoholic father and an abusive stepmother.
