  new york) -- harold camping is "mystified" and "a little bewildered" that the rapture did not go as he predicted, an associate of the california preacher told abc news.. .

  tom evans, a board member of camping's family radio international, said that camping's wife told him her husband is at their home in oakland and has no intention to speak or issue any statement on sunday or monday.. .

  1975-Deja vous all over again!

  I am certain that it is not Harold Camping's fault and that he should not apologize-obviously it was his followers who read too much into his statements and should not have been speculating about the "day and hour."

  My Uncle is Dying.

  nearly a year ago my uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer - he initially thought it was just a bladder infection and it took him passing out to go have more serious tests.

  thus he received this news and shared it with us, his family.. the family rallied behind him and we all did everything we could to get him to his treatments, make sure he ate properly and supported him.

  my cousins came out from the uk when it looked like he was going to die in a couple of days.

  Lou Belle,

  There is some good news in this, and it is that he has family who loves him and cares for him so much. No one knows when they will die, and when all is said and done, no one wants to die alone and forgotten. You have seen to it that this will not befall him.

  Welocme to the forum.

  I was "in" for over thirty years. My husband was an elder for twenty. I was always rushing....quickly get two bites of something after work, get books together, dress for the meeting. My child was always rushed. How I wish I had all that time back to just enjoy a beautiful sunset on the back porch, or really just talk without thinking about meeting parts, etc. in the back of your mind.

  Also..how in the world people keep swallowing "generation changes" is beyond me. We were trained not to question, not to research, and not to think...the WTS did all the thinking for you.

  I hope that this weekend you take your family away somewhere and enjoy nature, and just enjoy one another's company.

  Egad! I'm scared just looking at them. No wonder people die while skiing if they hit a tree...it would be hard not to! I am too old to go snowboarding and get cold just looking at the pictures, but it does look like an awesome adventure. Your pictures are very good...you have a flair for photography.

  An Intro and apology.

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been an avid reader on this site for a few years and have weighed in on a few topics and introduced a few more without introducing myself.

  for this i apologise.

  the main reason for my reticence is that being a second generation born in but having been baptised in the 50s i will find it difficult to make an introduction without giving the game away.

  Isn't it so true....the hold they have over people....

  I was also there in 1975. How they can gloss it over is beyond me. And the generation....it has gotten to the point of ludicrous.

  As someone here said; "Better to have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."

  I am in college at 59 years old. I also work full time.

  I can tell you this.....there is no substitute for study and lots of it. Turn off the T.V. Leave the phone in another room, and read, read and read again. Get up early and read for an hour before breakfast if you are better at things in the a.m.

  Also, most campuses have tutoring. I took Algebra, and after each class, I went to tutoring to do my homework. They were helpful to the extreme, and I know I couldn't have done it without them.

  Make your goal good grades. Then let nothing stop you. You can do it...if you put in the work.

  I doubt Ray Franz will be mentioned by name also, but I have a feeling that your name will be buzzing soon.....

  hello wounderfull people, i would like to thank everyone for they help before, but i still need moral support, i have made my mind up and i want to thanks a member of the aussie team olympic team for responding to my email.

  it really means a lot for me when i don't have any real friends when a olympic athlete responds to your email and cares.

  she gave me good advice and told me it's possible even thought my situation is hard, that really gave me hope and it was that push that i need to start thinking seriously.

  Currently there is lot's of tension building up in the house, and it's becoming mentally hard for me to endure. I just hate my life and somedays i would rather be dead then alive.

  I don't know if it would help if you wrote something to this effect explaining how you feel to your parents. What you are saying is very scary.Above all, I wouldn't want my child to feel this way.

  Please let them know this information, then take a deep breath. Ask to speak to them in a calm manner. You don't have to tell them that you don't want to be a JW, just let them know that you have made it a goal to be an olympic snowboarder and ask them to stand behind you.

  How about Prince? He became a witness and is still performing, and other JWs do the same type thing.

  Hope this helps. Let us know how things progress.
