hoping for a miracle
Unfortunately, everyone who's gone through this with older loved ones knows that you don't necessarily hope for recovery at 88 years old.

It used to amaze people that everyone always felt comfortable confiding in me and asking for advice.
However, none of my Dub friends talk to me anymore. I guess they hate me now.
Losing a lifetime of friends kind of makes me not want to seek out any friendships anymore.

Anyone get divorced because of differing beliefs?
by NiceDream inlately my husband has been miserable, but isn't talking.
he is really upset that he is "stuck with me" now that he knows i question my beliefs.
i thought we could explore the bible together and i hoped he would come to the same conclusion as me, but he won't do that.

My wife and I are fading together and feel the same way now about the Truth®.
Unfortunately, this brings different challenges like me being blamed by her family for not being the spiritual head anymore while she gets a free pass. Little do they know that I basically dragged her to meetings for 20 years.
This has caused a lot of tension, problems and fights.

How a teenage boy helped end the Cold War with Russia
by moshe insometimes people claim than an individual can't change the world, but i guess matthias rust , a 19 year old west german, never heard that one.
in 1987 he flew a private all the way to moscow to plead for world peace and his unbelievable flight probably did more to end the cold war than a bevy of professional diplomats.. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/26/ar2007052601262.html.
i am hoping an idealistic young person will bring down the wt org, too..

What Perplexes You About Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus ini'll tell you what i just can't get.. how the hell can anyone cry wolf as many times as the witnesses have without huge repercussions afterward?
i don't get it.. "the end is sooooooooo sooooooooooo close and you better get back to the organization for protection before it is too late!!!".
have they no shame???.

It perplexes me how they don't feel compelled at this point to apologise for all the mistakes, show some humility, ease-up on their demands and accept some level of JWs being able to scripturally differ from their staunch opinions when their own conscience deems so.
If they just lightened the friggin' load already and quit being so Pharisaical, so many more would stay.
It also perplexes me how they stubbornly stick to the literal interpretation of the 144,000. It's so ridiculous at this point that I just don't get how they stick with it.
WT: Everyone in the first-century congregation were of the anointed.
Josephus: There were between 250,000 and a half million first-century Christians.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
