My mom ended up in a Lutheran assisted living facility, put there by my brother a COBE. It was a wonderful place for her with the nicest people. When I saw the sign for the first time I said loudly, "Thank you Lutherans!"
Crickets I tell you.

21Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?
by stuckinarut2 inif witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.
isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.

I was wondering that my own self. My brother mentioned that he was "enjoying" the new building program. He is the guy that audits the projects. I didn't pursue the conversation with him, but I am still wondering if there are any projects going on. -

blondie - I remember it being ridiculously hot...first aid was busy. Do you remember they warned over and over about the "oleander" bushes, and to stay away from them because they were poisonous. My bird died during that time, so that happened.
That's right about Harold King, forgot about that. That was a BIG deal.

My mother took a train, alone with a 3 yo from CA to NY without any rooming arrangements. She just landed at the train station with a suitcase and a toddler, followed the signs, and stood in an endless line to receive a room, which we indeed did receive.
I to this day can't believe she did that. She was basically quite fearful of everything. I don't remember the convention but do remember a little about the hotel. I was just together with my older brother and sister last month and they were teenagers during the convention. They got to go by themselves with their mates to the convention, again, from CA to NY.
A different time.

Newly found picture of me at the 1958 convention, never saw this before. You can tell by the look on my face I was having a great time.

"I should have known" moments
by dubstepped ini got ready for the meeting.
my wife did too.
we drove out to the kingdom hall and the closer we got the higher my anxiety would spike.

I'm feeling a little silly. After reading the OP, it just dawned on me that I too had anxiety...many many times turning around and going back home...hoping I couldn't find a parking space, feeling dread as I drove down the street toward the KH.
I think I just would feel guilty about my actions rather than thinking it through and identifying the anxiety which would have led to figuring out the source. Duh.
So glad to be away from all that. Phew.

I got my Memorial invite! I got my Memorial invite!
by Dagney inmy first one!
even though i got it saturday, march 26, in the mail in an envelope addressed to "my dear neighbor.".
it's the thought that counts..

Rebel and Pete...lol, one can dream how that scenario would play out.
Okay, I see the invite is two-fold including the "special talk" TM. I didn't even look at it yesterday, I guess I'm so disconnected/disinterested. So even though I didn't get it time for the "free event" as its referred to as, I will still be able to learn how to be in paradise with Jesus. phew.
Jake, there is story after story of conditional love from JW family. Just heard another one in person from a visiting family from Australia. I shake my head at the cruelty of it. You will create fabulous mates outside the Borg. It's not so fast or so many, but they are true. Thank you for sharing your story.

Hi Christian and Katja! Welcome! I too enjoy your videos and know they will help many.
We're friend on FB, and it's good to see you here.
I am always wondering, I "had" a very good friend who ended up living in Denmark and became an elder there and raised a family. I saw him a few times before I left and wonder how in the heck he could still be in. I'd like to ask you/Katja if you knew him.
Keep up the great work! x
