  After reading this in an article I wonder if Mogan's mom is a jw:

  Tracy Morgan 's estranged mother has taken aim at the comedian's fiancee Megan Wollover after she was banned from visiting her famous son in hospital following his horrific car crash on Saturday.

  The " 30 Rock " star, who claimed in 2012 that he had not seen his mum Alicia Warden in 11 years...

  Warden returned on Sunday and was granted five minutes by Morgan 's bedside, but she was not allowed to be alone with the comedian and now she has hit out at Wollover.

  http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=872460

  I then Googled, "Is Tracy Morgan's mom a Jehovah's Witness?" and found this:

  My mother's parents were Dave and Alice Warden, and my mother was the second-oldest in her family, after her sister Patricia, my aunt Pat. She was followed by my uncle Dave, my aunt Brenda, my aunt Robin, my uncle Michael, then my aunt Michelle, who died when she was still a baby, and finally my aunt Kim—a family of eight. Their family was quite different from my dad's because they were Jehovah's Witnesses. Not my mother's father—he never went to meetings or church—but my grandmother and a few of my mom's sisters were very into it. Her family was kind and loving, but strict and very, very straightlaced.

  I don't know if the rules are the same now, but before my mother in law died 10 years ago, Medicare informed me that an elderly person having several falls is what qualifies them for one of those mobility scooters for little to no out of pocket expense. You may want to call Medicare, or better yet, one of the companies that sells them to see if your mom can get one. That way she can be mobile without injury and worry.

  so it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.

  i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.

  things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

  Grandma called the other day, and chose to tell my kids about the tornadoes

  by Faithful Witness in

  i know this might be overreacting, and i have not said a peep about it to my kids or anyone else... .

  last week, my kids wanted to call my mom during the day.

  on her last visit, they had talked about calling her on her day off at home.

  It doesn't matter whether or not Grandma was planting seeds about the end. She was in the wrong...period...if she knew your daughter is/was afraid of thunderstorms. If so, what an awful thing to do to a young child!

  been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.

  for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.

  abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

  FYI, links to photos of jw.org signs on top of WT buildings

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday, on the thread i started on 4/15/14, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/279088/1/essay-by-barbara-anderson-whats-in-a-name#.u1e98jao7l9 that introduces a recent article i wrote which is posted on www.watchtowerdocuments.org , i thought i made an inaccurate statement in one of my posts about wt having a sign, jw.org, on the top of one of their buildings.

  i was sure i had seen a photo of such a sign but couldn't prove it until last night when proof was sent to me in an email and the proof is to be found in the form of links to photos of the sign.

  i was wrong in thinking the sign was on a wt factory building.

  Bigmac hit the nail on the head! If your parents want to see your child, they can do it at your house with you present....period....end of story.
