  my mother broke her hip last week.

  she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.

  we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

  That tract Hope for the Dead brings back memories of how JWs made their move when someone lost a family member, taking advantage of their vulnerable state of mind and telling them that they can see their loved ones again . . . makes me wanna puke just thinking how many times I've seen my mother and the others do that.

  i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.

  so far no one i recognize.

  i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.

  EndofMysteries - Seriously ? If so, he just fits the profile of a not too mentally stable JW getting in those hours.

  I often wonder how a certain family in our Circuit got away with holding Bday celebrations, titled as a barbecue or something, but most folks knew what was going on

  I can understand kids being bored at church, it's just being raised as a Dub you learn that they are the only true religion and have to go knocking on door to announce that. I've often wondered if I was raised a Baptist (as my UberDub mother was) or any other religion would I have the same feelings about religion that I have now.

  What is the purpose of Field Service??

  by quellycatface in

  2. friends

  the so used to say it was life saving work.i wasn't convinced.it was soul destroying in the area i lived.i didn't want to be so cynical as to think, it was just to gain converts, therefore more money but it certainly looks that way now..

  This guy sounds like he trying to score some brownie points are something, bringing back someone to "da troof" that's been out so long. Don't trust him.

  On a totally different side of taking in somebody associated with the JWs, (a brother, who was once the only anointed member in the cong I was grew up in but he and his wife walked away more than 20 years ago) his mother was asked by another person in her Cong to take in a brother who was in and out of "the truth" but he was once again studying and needed a place to live, she agreed and took him in, he murdered her, but thankfully he's in jail now and will be there for quite some time.
