My Dad Said He Loved Me

by cognac in

he's said it before, but, it was different this time.

his dad just died and i know there are parts about me that are the exact replica of him and grandpa.

him and gramp had a falling out cause of the jw religion.. anyways, i had the funny feeling that my dad has been looking at things differently lately, but, i know he won't say much cause he's in way too deep at this point.. he came up to me the other night, and said he really loved me.

In Memory of Sheeba

by ziddina in

(i'm not sure this is the correct sub-heading, but - since i was her 'doggie-mommie'...).

this is in tribute to the best doggie weve ever had, sheeba.

i first met sheeba in the autumn of 1997. id been driving past the local countys animal shelter the dog pound for several years.

BabaYaga

Oh, my! How gorgeous she is, inside and out!

I am so very sorry for your loss, my Ziddy. You were so very lucky to have each other.

Rest in peace, joy, and light, Sheeba... and have fun chasin' the bunnies.

Love,
Baba.

My Near Death Experience

by Dogpatch in

hi y'all, just wanted to let you know i was out for a stroll on my bicycle for exercise last week and got hit by a car 100 yards from my house.

it was a hit and run.

i got up with only minor bruises but felt really dizzy and asked one of my roommates to take me to the hospital as i was dizzy and felt i was going to pass out on the spot in the middle of the street.

BabaYaga

Wow! Good grief...

Strength, healing, and better days to you, Rand-Man! Unbelievable... so sorry you have had such a crappy time of late.

Hoping for much better (and so happy to hear you are on the mend, in more ways than one.)

Love,
Baba.

The significance of Sparlock

by botchtowersociety in

the watchtower has depicted sparlock as a commercial plastic toy to be thrown into the garbage with impunity.. i submit to you all that he is something far greater.

sparlock represents all the hopes and dreams of jw children everywhere.

he is the magic of childhood.

Cool vid, BibleCheck.

his 1100 mile walk is over.

he will be in dc for 3 days, visiting homeless shelters and drawing attention to the plight of homeless children in the united states.

i'll keep everyone posted as events unfold.. coffee .

BabaYaga

Agreed, Hemp... I will not forget his monumental walk, either!

Lovely to have an update, Dear Coffee... (and heaven help us all... he's right about politics.)

Love,
Baba.

JAN 2013 SHUNNING ARTICLE COULD MEAN JWS NOT AS OBEDIENT

by steve2 in

in a separate thread, there's been intense discussion about how the gb is still seeking to tighten its grip on the rank and file.

the latest evidence is the january 2013 watchtower which rolls out hugely predictable statements about not doing anything to upset one's (jw) family by, for example, being in email contact with a disfellowshipped witness.

it's hard to stifle the yawns.
