  Getting Old, Didn't think it would happen to me.

  by Undecided in

  untill the last year i stayed 50 years old.

  now it has finally hit me, i'm getting old.

  i never felt my age and could do about any thing without pain or feeling like my body couldn't take it.

  You've done well to be feeling 50 up to now! if you dont already (and you probably do to have felt so young) take up some gentle exercise like swimming.

  And keep posting and using your brain!!!

  It made me sad seeing my nan lose her capabilities but she was ok right up to 83, it was only the last 3 years that her mental capability went down, and i think that was because she couldn't see to read.

  Here i am giving advice and im only 30! lmao

  Im sure you know it all, and im sorry you are feeling your age. my dad feels older than he is - bad back, and my hubby too (he used to play rugby and has sports injuries). i get scared when i think of getting old and i have years left (hopefully)

  its so sad that the WTS give people false hopes.

  Ran into a JW and DFed, DAed, or faded?

  by pierogi in

  okay, i'm interested in experiences where you are dfed, daed or faded and you ran into a jw somewhere.

  if you are dfed or daed, most likely they'd just ignore you.

  this is unless you ran into them at work (like a restaurant, bank, grocery store) where it is there job to talk to you.

  i faded but fast so v shunned by family and friends except my mom. i rarely run into anyone thankfully. im in another congs territory, next to the one i was in but didn't know many. i ran into an elder when id just moved and he said it was nice that id talked to him - like he was expecting me to ignore him not the otherway round. but then again i think he knew what my father did to me so maybe thats y he was nice. it was odd - being thanked for not ignoring someone!

  On a (minor) downer

  by Fe2O3Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and it is all vicarious, but boo hoo.. i had a phone call first thing this morning from a good friend i used to work with, to tell me that one of our old colleagues had collapsed and died at work yesterday.

  it wasn't someone i was close to, he was a quiet bloke, but nice, with a great dry humour.

  and he was only in his forties.. so i ring another lady we used to work with to let her know the sad news, and she tells me her husband has pancreatic cancer and secondary liver cancer.

  Ex-JW's Pioneers Help! What can I tell my 75 year old mom who "fs" in rain?

  by booker-t in

  2. friends

  i have tried talking to my "devout" jw mom until i am blue in the face and she just won't budge.

  but now i am really worried to death for her.

  the other day she told me that she was going on return visits with another pioneer sister who is in her early 40's and much, much younger than my mom.

  you could try speaking to the pioneer sister nicely - just mention the bronchitus and rain - but your mom probably likes being useful
