peacefully after a short bout with leukemia.
she was 88 years old and the foundation of my life.
she will be sadly missed by me and everyone whose lives she has touched.. .
Much empathy to you and family. Sounds like you have fond memories.
wow, just reported that paris was rushed to the hospital with slit wrists.. i normally have a lot to say but this one is a very sad situation.. rub a dub.
Very sad . . . . I hope someone in that family can get her to good care and health,,,,,,,not thru grandma, not JWs.

i am sure this may have been discussed previously and if so just disregard this.. .
as a born-in 1914 is a date stamped into my head that is pretty much the foundation of our religious beliefs.
nearly everything that sets jw's apart from everyone is this date of 1914. forget all the chronology that proves that daniels prophecy and the 2520 years is incorrect - there is far worse damning evidence that makes this date useless and in error.. with the magazine that shines new light on the whole faithful slave thing - charles taze russell is no longer a member of that faithful slave class that jesus is using to feed his people./ by getting rid of russell the no doubt were able to distance themselves from all his crazy ramblings and teachings that are appearing all over the internet.

And then,,, how many more years from now will they "distance" Rutherford "from all his crazy ramblings?"
i am thinking that maybe i missed this discussion or something.
now for years in the org i never ever paid attention to the article that says jesus is the mediator for the 144000 alone.
yesterday talking to my 70+ year old dad he got violently angry with me and threw his cane at me because he said i was a liar.. .
sosoconfused,, your dad may be on his way out. Same thing happened to my dad. Then, falling dominoes happens. He was DF'd for apostasy on this.
this new couple moved in a couple weeks ago.
special/regular pioneers, he's an elder from bethel.
i think he might have been a co at one time.
Interesting development... wonder what numbers dropping? and how much? that has gotten the attention of Headquarters to send in a special T.O.
i guess i'm a newbie.
i've been reading (lurking) for a looooonnnnnggggg time, but have finally joined and this is my first post.
my story is of course very similar to all the others.
DJS, it's great to hear from ones long time out of the organization,, moved on, yet show up here from time to time. I have been out since mid-80s, moved on,,my immediate family all out and all 5 children. But I am glad to come on here some, to add my little 2 cents worth occasionally. But the organization had a big impact to my life,, had bitter-sweet parts on leaving, but so sweet in long run. I now like being a little pro-active in the exposure of the WTS when I can; here, add to any open comments in news related articles, and a little on Facebook.
this is vague but i was wondering if anyone has heard about the word "change" being used lately in jw circles?
my brother (an elder and devout jw) used it in an e-mail a couple of months ago and it seemed odd.
he said, "you like change".
Maybe many see the need for improvements,,however, the GB only re-states and re-states "wait on Jehovah." Maybe that's what many are doing.
I saw the need for many, to much more, than improvements in the '80s, glad I did not wait on men. They have to finally ask themselves, are they waiting on God - or men (the GB)? I am not so knowable about much, but clearly if "love" is not among them, then neither is God.
my youngest sister was married last sunday and i was actually invited.
not to the reception of course but all of us ex-jw relatives had our own party so it was still a great family reunion!
i'm one of 6 siblings (2 step siblings, 1 half, and 2 whole :-) anyway, this was not my first time going to a wedding of a sibling and being an ex-witness.
Are there other congregations sharing the Hall and using it on Saturday? Isn't 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen enough? Is that considered small and simple now-a-days? To me, that is more than enough.
