sorry you and your mum are going through this. You need to talk to the Dr, tell her what the family wants, if she doesn't like it then you need to get another doctor.

some of you may remember my mom was diagnosed with a rare disease that shrinks the brain.
(corticobasildegeneration) how i remember that is beyond me!
anyway, since she was diagnosed, they started out by taking her licence away about 3 years ago.

nobody ever said that the end was coming in 1975.. all the hype about this date that has continued all the way down through today came from a talk in the early 70's by fred franz.
in this talk, franz pointed out the significance of the 7 creative days and how they correspond with 1,000-year time intervals.. he then said, "could the end come in 1975?
there's so much wrong with jehovah's witnesses from their rigid legalism to their faux love, but let's call a spade a spade about the 1975 thing..
That's right.......keep telling yourself that

i just found this while i was doing my research paper for my communication class...can you believe this??
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA
How about a tattoo, or piercing to celebrate
specifically, were you an active jw longer than you have been inactive or out of the organization, whichever applies?
i was active for about 15 years, then faded into inactivity, although never df'd or da'd.
time out hasn't yet caught up with time in, but time out is gaining.
Born in, baptised mid teens. Left aged 21......faded 25 years.
25 years = great, greater, greatest!

i was on my way home today, and i passed my mother on the road.
tears came to my eyes immediately, just at the sight of her face.. i hate this religion.. but i love my mom.. i can't even remember, when the last time we spoke was.. i just want to sit down and talk to her, but i can't- i won't- because its her fault.
i left a religion, she left her son.

It's a bad feeling. I remember pulling over and vomiting at the side of the road after an encounter with my parents.
Hang in there, let your feelings out here to people who understand. My parents came round, and your mum may too. Just keep achieving in your life........

so a few months ago i got the 'you're disowned' email from my parents, and i thought that it was all over for any kind of ongoing relationship with them.
i'd planned this visit to see them (i live on the east coast of australia, they're a five-hour flight away), but a few months ago they told me they won't see me when i'm here.
i have non-jw family and friends here though who i love a lot, and i have spent some nice times with them, and shown mr frass around my old haunts.
Hi Sass
That's great, good on you and hubby for making another effort. Don't let them get you down, hope you had a great trip.

due to my husbands interactions with my mom with questions about the history of the wbts, i received a phone call from her.
(keep in mind she is 72 years a witness).
i brought up the un thing and she said, thats from apostates.
Restrangled,
Sorry you're feeling down over this. But........your mum phoned you........I reckon that's a big step for her. It'd be huge if she turned around and left straight after hearing about it. She's on the defensive now.
Small steps, with love.........maybe one day she'll wake up to it all, but even if she doesn't want to the main thing is that you could have a relationship with her.
Best wishes

Whatever the circumstances, there has definately been a cover-up. whether it be because of Greenlees being a paedophile, or because of being outed for being a Franz sympathiser...........
something still "stinks in the state of Rome"
You know, this is the first time I have heard another side of this story
Alan F had a thread about this earlier this year. I also read a story (maybe on freeminds), there's a lot of rumour............don't know.........
I asked Alan in that thread if he had spoken to Ray Franz about it, (in COC Ray seemed to mention untrue rumours about something like this) Alan said that Ray was in denial over it.........I know according to COC, Greenlees was sympathetic to Ray, but considering everything Ray Franz has been through why would he be in denial over this............
It doesn't add up. too many missing pieces to the puzzle.
