  2. friends

  so i'm working on another (fictional) book project and i need some historical help.

  i came into the borg in 1973, just as they were starting the new elder arrangement.

  i know that before that there was a presiding overseer who (as i understand it) ran the show.

  Hospice and JW

  by Terry Clees in

  i am a bereavement coordinator with a hospice company.

  i have noticed that most often jw patients decline chaplain care and also the family ends up declining bereavement care.

  where i work our chaplains do not proselytize at all...they merely walk with the patient in their faith at the end of life.

  my dearest dad is 90 years old today.

  we are far away, separated by geography, but never will i allow an organisation that indoctrinated false love separate me from my dear dad.

  i love my dad and we had our differences but never will i allow that organisation take away my love for my dad.. happy bithday dad.

  in re "the last trump"bro.

  h. b. rice, editor and publisher of the last trump, has been obliged by circumstances beyond his control to suspend its publication.

  i'm leaving this site forever

  by stan livedeath in

  1. social
  2. humour

  as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.

  dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

  so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.
