What would alot of people do? The system is great but flawed. We should help those in need but people not in need shouldn't be able to work the system like they do. My dad plays golf with a guy on disability because he has angina. He plays golf every day but is too ill to work! My bro had a rough childhood like me and resorted to drink and drugs. He is now 33 and has done about 4 yrs of work in his whole life, who would employ him now? My hubby got chucked out of his home by his biological mother (she didn't bring him up, he refers to her as his aunt) and when he tried to get help he was told that he wasn't a priority as he didn't have a drugs/drink problem and wasn't pregnant. They told him to come back if he lost his job from living on the street, cos then they could help!

Has the Watchtower ever officially LIED?
by Dead Man Joaquin inno, i'm not here to defend them.
but you know how they love to get off on technicalities.
i'm sure all here would agree that the wt is extremely evasive, misleading, and intellectually dishonest (i.e.

Hi all - Newbie from Yorks, UK
by JayAre ini've been lurking for a while, but have finally decided to post.
this is a fantastic site with some really cool people (i feel like i know some of you already).
circumstances forced me to start my fade about 10 years ago, and pretty much start my life from scratch (socially, at least - family have always been great).

Some JW parents don't deserve to be parents!!!
by Es inat least mine don't anyway.. ive been thinking of there behaviour towards me for the last few weeks, and im just so over them being my parents.
when mike and i went to the hosp on wed night after my nan had passed away, i tried to comfort my mum, she hardly wanted me to touch her.
i didnt even look at my dad for the first half n hour we were there.

That is so sad.
Not comforting but - my hubby (not a dub) was treated rubbish at his nans death& funeral too and none of em are dubs, some people are just awful.
I think that putting your own notice in the paper to your nan from a loving granddaughter is a fantastic idea.

Why Paradise Would Drive JWs Insane
by metatron inwhat would qualify as the most paradise-like spot on earth?
i'd say somewhere in the pacific islands.. tropical breezes, lying in the warm sun on beautiful beaches ..... and so on.. but funny isn't it that these places often have high rates of suicide!?.

A Witness doesnt even know they're presently lost in delusional patterns of insanity -- nor do most other people -- so if they did happen to step into paradise it would not be long before a deep unease set in. Their entire identity before was based on focus of a time and place unreal, and a paradise real does not support or give comfort to an identity based on fantasy. So paradise could come to seem like a valley of death threatening my life and wellbeing. Never satisfied with what IS, we reach into make-believe and set up home.
For most people the moment is only something to get past. Real paradise is not about reaching or getting past, but rather meeting with the bottomless richness and depths of nature and beingness in this moment. Paradise is not so much a place, as it is simply being acutely aware of life here and now.
so true!

grateful to my Elders..No talks, no FS time, no privledges....no problem!
by oompa inso one year of lots of questions and showing doubts, and missing quite a few meetings but still going out in service, doing mics, reading, hall projects...then i get the new light from society regarding the letter i sent them (wow, stunned me, blew me away) and i let them know how i felt about it and i quit the ministry after 40 active years.
nobody says anything about this, no counsel, no will you go out with us on saturday.
not a single "were is your time for the month" phone call.

I was allowed to go straight to inactive
without any help from the elders, so I just stopped going to the hall. There is still no calls for offers to
help me out.I expect a half-assed attempt now because I am a statistic- an inactive person that needs to be called
on before the C.O. meetingThat happened to me too - and when CO visit due? NOTHING!!!! I was suprised but grateful. Now I am not suprised as I realise I am more trouble than I'm worth, maybe would have been dif if I was a bro or is I was pioneer but was just a v. depressed rank&file.
I thought it was strange and not the norm, really expected to be harrassed, but then it looks like the same has happened to more than me!

Life is sweet
by RollerDave ingot my truck back.. it was best-case, in the neighborhood of $2000, rather than the worst-case of $3000 or catastrophic-case $6000.. head gaskets.. bad, i know, but it could have been cracked heads, or worse.. i paid my peasly little two grand and that aposta-truck roared to life!
it's gleaming smugly outside my garage right now.. life is sweet, i got my truck back.. helped my daughter build a 'model' for her piano technician classes, a board with hitch pins on one end, and tuning pins on the other, a bridge in between (with bridge pins) and a string.. basically a model of a set of three piano strings for one note in a simulation of the stuff that mounts it in a real piano.. i love woodworking, and i love making things.
i love making things well.

I'm sorry Es - i was close to my nan too, she was agreat lady and I miss her still (crying as i think about it) but her quality of life was so little towards the end. i got the chance to tell her i loved her before she died and i am eternally grateful that i did. its sad but i almost wish she had died a year earlier when she had her first stroke, she could have died peacefully without suffering, don't be angry at your nan for not wanting to suffer anymore, be grateful for all the good memories instead.
