my poor mum fell over on sunday and broke her hip.
she was taken to hospital and yesterday had an operation to place a pin in the joint.
this was obviously a worrying time for all concerned and my dad let us all know what was going on.
I don't know if putting a pin in the hip is different from replacing a hip, but my jw mom had to stay in the hospital a week longer than her non-jw sister after having a hip replaced. My "worldly" aunt was put in a few days and already getting physical therapy. My jw mom was in the hospital for about two weeks to get herself built back up due to blood loss.
I hope everything goes fine with your mom. What a shame about your older sister!
i noticed the june 2012 our kingdom ministry question box, which asks, "what should be kept in mind if we want some or all of our assets to go to jehovah's organization upon our death?".
the article recommends preparing a will so as to potentially distribute "some or all...to jehovah's organization" and gives this concluding advice to trustees of said will:.
"a trustee or executor should be aware that whether the estate is large or small, liberties should not be taken with the assets.
sd-7, i tip my hat to you. I thought I was awesome. then i met you.
That's exactly how I feel about my dear sd-7!
shuster's tale .
today i added a new article to my blog addressing a sworn statement by allen shuster of watchtowers service department.
he (and watchtower) made specific claims about something they say does not exist.
Interesting stuff. Is there a way to enlarge the court documents even more than what they are once clicked on? I can't read the print even with my reading glasses on.
i started way back over 10 years ago on the old h2o & jwd boards under the id ranchette.
i went through some huge life changes and dissappeared from all ex jw boards for years.
i since remarried and and have a good circle of friends that were never jws.
Hello and nice to meet you! Do you think it would be helpful if your husband started posting here? Another ex-jws explanation of things may be clearer to him. My husband was never a jw either, but his first wife became one while they were still married. Although he was very young at the time, he knew it was all bs. They were divorced by 1975, and she called to warn him that Armageddon was coming. He told her to drop by his place in time enough for her to watch him bend over and kiss his ass goodbye, LOL! He always could spot bs from a mile away. Anyway, he has a little bit of understanding, but he gets very angry when I tell him stuff that I read here and on Facebook.
i'm just wondering what the whole apostate propaganda is all about?.
do you think you can do some sort of justice to the wt for the pains they have caused you?, what actualy are your motives?.
i dont get it.
History has shown that apostate activities cannot have any effect on WT policies either on child abuse or domestic policies, even Ray Franz and Barbara Anderson couldnt influence matters when they were at the core of the JW administrative affairs, so how do you think internet peddlers could affect any change in any manner?.
I don't mind being called an apostate. Here is the definition: One who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/apostate
I couldn't be happier to shine a light on this vile corporation. The governing body is either too arrogant or too delusional, or both, to change their policies, but people on this type of forum are here to help others as they leave the cult behind. The fact that those who are leaving aren't alone is going to be the downfall of the Watch Tower.
hello i am relatively new here, and i apologise for my english in advance.. this is a very irrelevant and probably very stupid question: what does the word "borg" mean, or where does it come from?
i understand it's used for the organisation, but i don't get why.. also, where does "kool aid" come from?.
thanks and sorry again!.
Hello I am relatively new here, and I apologise for my English in advance.
It always cracks me up when foreigners say this, because they almost always write in English better than those of us who grew up speaking it.
"cracks me up" translation: makes me laugh
.
after all jaracz was in charge of the service dept which formulated and enforced the silence rules and others which are now a source of such pain for the watchtower.. shame he died without having to face the consequences.
.
It's people like him that make me wish for such a place as a torturous hell.
i'm working on an essay to release to the gazette but want to make sure i have my ducks in a row.. i wonder if someone can point me to a history timeline of watchtower policy as respects treatment of pedophiles, actions of victims and how they cannot divulge identities of offenders to others, phone calls (anonymous) by elders to authorities from public phone booths, etc.. the board understandably is flooded with the latest on the 26 million dollar settlement (it hit our arkansas democrat gazette this morning), so it's kinda tough for me to piece things together in orderly fashion.

len.
I would check with Barbara Anderson.

This apostate wants the Watch Tower to end their atrocious policies on child abuse and domestic violence.
eight years ago before simon changed over to this site, i was known as blueblades.
i mentioned back then 7/21/03 that i was diagnosed as having a narrow aortic valve.
well, the time has come to update all my friends back then and now.
I know this must be scary for you, but it's as routine as having morning coffee for the doctors involved. Just think of that when you start to feel anxious. Sending good thoughts your way.
Edited to add: The time to feel anxious is if you start mooing, LOL! Hey, here are wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!
