i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.
this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!
knowing that you have no hope!?
I fully understand the life/death mindset of JWs. I believed it, I taught it. I regret having taught it at all but especially to family.
When at death's door a few times myself, it was evident that my caring but indoctrinated JWs preferred that I die "faithful" than break an Org rule on allowed medical treatment.
Although next of kin may be a Witness, it is advisable to assign as health-care advocate one who will respect your wishes.
Sad but wiser . . .

i used to post on this site years ago.
then, my login quit working.
haven't been here in a long time.
Greetings, John Doe, from CoCo . . .
Good to see you again. Sylvia was here for a bit a couple weeks ago. She'll be back.
Best regards.

when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.
it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.
I can deal with emotional manipulation -- to a point -- but am I to believe that in the New World tomatoes will grow on holly trees?
Perhaps, I am missing something . . .

Thanks, Simon:
My Mac is old -- a hand-me-down -- and all attempts to upgrade are useless. Went to different "how-to-fix" sites where users complained of their browsers being outmoded but Mac incapable of allowing a Safari upgrade. For some reason I cannot upload Chrome, which I use on my DELL.
Other https sites are fine. My equally old but dependable DELL is getting me through to you now.
I appreciate the explanation.
THANKS MUCH.

do you remember our interest a few years back in the film, worlds apart?.

Thanks, Syl and Pete, for your posts.
I appreciate your bringing up my old thread, Sylvia.
You're correct, Pete, yet is it unity or uniformity? Too much control. I have a beard and long hair. Of course, I don't go out in service, but while still in I was allowed to comment.
No more can do . . . I would not be able to contain my cool, calm and collected.

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.
if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.
i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.
I mentioned on another thread some time ago that, in the early '70s, Brother Knorr forbade bell bottoms (in your room was all right). My roommate was brazen and wore them to the factory. He got lots of stares.
Even flares were frowned upon. So much frowning, the face develops a permanent scowl. So sad, so sad . . .

What matters, in the picture of Jesus and John, is that the hair on the nape of the neck does not touch the collar of their garments.
Well, if John were not so scantily clothed . . . Oh, I just realized that Jesus has no collar. How would he appropriate himself the requisite tie?
