    i have tried talking to my "devout" jw mom until i am blue in the face and she just won't budge.

    but now i am really worried to death for her.

    the other day she told me that she was going on return visits with another pioneer sister who is in her early 40's and much, much younger than my mom.

    I'd confront the pioneer sister in a kind way just mentioning her health and how you worry about her.

    Resurrection vs. Re-Creation...

    um, what's the deal with this?

    i'm speaking with a witness and he keeps talking about the resurrection and the way it's explained sounds like it's really a re-creation of all of our memories in god's mind then put back on earth in a re-created body.

    so in essence a clone of me with my memories and personality will live forever in paradise, how exactly is that a resurrection.

    Yes it makes perfect sense what you are saying. I am afraid that there is no explaining that one to them. Its really like telling me that an apple is really called an orange and no matter how much someone tells me this, I still don't think "orange" when I see an apple. I say that that's going to have to be one of the last things a former JW will ever get -- not the first.

    a good friend of mines father died he had terminal cancer.

    so as i am digging out a suit to wear i realize 2 things.

    one i have gotten really fat since i stopped going to meeting's and two i think one of the real reasons i stopped going was i hate putting on suit's.

    I moved a few months after I DAed and I remember cleaning out my closet and throwing away a dozen dresses. I figured I wouldn't have any need for them and I was right. I kept a few for funerals and such. I then had to wear a dress to a funeral at the end of last year and it reminded me how much I hate it. I think its the pantyhose ...

    did anyone see the "trauma" show (about the e.r.

    ) on discovery health last night?

    one of the stories featured was an elderly jw lady who had an accident and needed an emergency surgery.

    I bet the JWs missed this episode. They think no one can die from their policy.

    Your whole story just sounds so familiar to me. I've experienced many of the same things (no, not all). The boy I ran away with to get away from home turned out to be an abuser and I had to go to the elders with it. I was a victom and felt on trial for it. The elders and that man you had to deal with were so cruel!! Bless your heart!

    I do hope you can find a way to heal. Its so very hard.
