  an old witness friend of mine had a serious drinking problem and went to an elder in his hall for some help.

  the elder tried to console him and told him that he could understand what he was going through.

  he said "i have an addiction too you know - chocolate cake.

  i've only posted here a couple of times, but had a tremendous wave of guilt after i did so.

  not as far as the "truth" was concerned, but to my husband.

  he obviously doesn't know i'm doing this and i almost felt like i was cheating on him or something - ugh!!

  Jehovah's Witness hope, does it remove the sting of death?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  recently i was speaking to my witness sister, and the topic of someone dying in her husband's family came up.

  she mentioned that her husband (a non-witness) has a hard time with death and will not even go back to his grandparents property, 20 years after their death, as he does not do well with the memories and death itself.

  my sister made the statement, "i explained to him that i hoped one day i could help him come to terms with death, by learning what it really is and the hope in store.
