YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

Dear prologos, Open mind, and Tal:
So wonderful to see you again! I thought -- erroneously -- that we older ones were all gone!
Well, mostly gone!
Love,

Apathy carts - Apathy D-2-D
by Zoos ini think it was punkofnice who came up with the phrase, "apathy carts".
how apropos.. yesterday i encountered a car group of witnesses in my community as i was coming home from the gym.
actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway.

Likewise, my Catholic grandfather, who liked talking to anyone, asked me why the JWs walked on by and didn't talk to him while he was working in the front yard.
He needed to be behind the door . . .

When I Was School Overseer . . .
by compound complex inwe were instructed not to give public counsel to the students, but to use the two minutes alloted afterwards to supplement, from the aid book, the subject matter presented by the students.
the following information on jehovah's answering of prayer came to mind when replying to another thread moments ago.. doubtless, our viewpoint on this and other scriptural matters has taken on a new direction -- if any at all.
having worked on this bible dictionary while at bethel, i retain a fondness for it.

Best wishes to you and your family.

So sick of the abuse...
by iwasblind ini am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.
i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.
she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

Thank you, iwasblind, for sharing this experience.
Likewise, when trying to encourage a suffering JW, I find a way to weave natural human kindness and compassion with words and background familiar to that person. I know the JW walk and talk in my sleep, but I avoid the guilt- and fear-inducing stuff. Just be natural, just be human.

Dear possum and OneGenTwoGroups:
I'm so sorry for what you and yours -- children -- have suffered and that this information has triggered bad memories. It's a wake up call for me, thinking as I did, at one time, that the above information would be a comfort to all who listen and heed it. Well, it is not a comfort. As a JW, I felt that my expounding WT wisdom was a healing to those in spiritual distress, like one size fits all. So naive. So very wrong.
Again, my most sincere and humblest apologies. Sometimes I feel I should apologize to all those I preached to and studied with. Now that I am painfully aware of dissent and disaffection, I wonder how many mute souls in the KH were really seething with anger when I dispensed Jehovah's "loving counsel" from the faithful and discreet slave.
Love,
CoCo
