Do you know how old the post is?
Roughly?
very sad as was said by a poster earlier our shared one time faith makes it seem as if you knew her.
rip.
Do they confirm that until about a year ago he was a regular publisher and that 2 years ago he was married in a Kingdom Hall.
Can anyone confirm if he ever was an MS?

i don't know how to paste images from my smartphone but take a look on page 11 from today's watchtower (study edition) september 15, 2012.... .
is it just me or does jesus look like mitt romney???.
haha i have to read so i have no more time to talk but please let me know what you think!
Looks like a younger version of my neighbor, the Catholic Theology writer. Well, the facial hair does, anyway.
And I *do* see the Romney resemblence, too.

next week i am having surgery at the local hospital .
one of my old jw 'friends ', that no longer considers me worthy of even a hello ,is a surgical tech there .. would you take steps to ask she not be on the operating team ?
it was brought to my attention today that i do have the right to ask for that person not to be present because of personal issues .. what would you do ?
So glad you spoke up and got the compassionate response you wanted and needed. Hope all goes well with your pending surgery.
You probably already know this, but friend of mine keeps reminding me to eat very healthily in the days and weeks prior to surgery. Better that your body be nourished as well as possible before it sets about to heal. Lots of leafy greens and all that.
Best wishes for speedy recovery!

when people start threads by posting a link such as youtube or news, do you go there to see what they want you to see?
or, would you prefer that they ran a short intro or summary for you?
do you think that there is laziness on one side or the other?.
I try to do a brief summary, provide the link to the document, and, if it is an article on a different website that may not be valid after some time has passed, I will also cut and paste the pertinent information (in context).
I always like when people provide summaries (one or two sentences) so I can make a decision to take time or not. I pick and choose which threads I read here.
-Aude.
might be back, might not.
i really appreciate the historical information on the jw's this board allowed me to find out about.
it really put things into perspective.
I think it's a cycle. An ebb and flow.
Come back and visit once in a while.
-Aude.
Edit to add - Actually, it's just always changing. Remember when it first started 12+ years ago, it was designed for active witnesses and apostates were not allowed to speak their filthy, godless thoughts.

Greenhornet asked: I got this email I am wondering if this is true?
I personally believe it's true that an elder may very well have posted that account. I also believe that there is a good amount of 'spin' and twists that overly glorify the JW actions.
Here is the thread from yesterday discussing the same post from the elder:
-Aude.
why, he even has gone to some meetings at their kingdom hall!
someone calls with a large wedding tent that they would like to donate and set up in the kingdom hall parking lot for the public memorial on friday.
i was amazed how people who came that didnt even know whitney, but simply felt a need to be here and comfort the family.
Sir82 asked: Any idea about what the "episode", referred to above, was?
Yes. About a year ago, he took off with a friend's rental (??) car and the friend filed a police report. Holt showed up about 12 hours later with no real explanation of why he took off and where he had been but his comments to wife and friends was essentially the same: 'Needed to clear my head.' He was distraught about his marriage, (lack of) job, etc.
i grew up as a witness, but it's been a few years since i've been to a meeting.. i'm having trouble being social and making new friends.
i've moved away from the town that i grew up in (about 45 minutes away) and, although i'm not df'ed, i've lost track of my old friends after they found out i wasn't attending anymore.
you guys know how it is.. i'm self-employed, extremely introverted, and have kind of isolated myself for a while.
