  hey, im not sure if anyone knows of this, but recenetly (well actually like about 3-4 months ago) jw's in my area have been told to create emergency preparation kits for themselves or thier familys, and to give the elders phone numbers of non-witness relatives for emergency contacts.. also one thing that they've just started doing is the elders are going around giving "sheparding calls" to everyone in the congragation and asking them questions such as *( they said this from the platform) "what do you find the hardest about being in the truth" or something along those lines.. i think that just might be a local thing, but it is strange and over the many years they have never really done any thing like that.. and the emergency thing i thik is strange too.. maybee they think a disater will happen here.... just thought i would mention this 'cause i find it a little strange.. well not that strange, their always on to something new and crazy...

  woah.. sorry,, didn't mean to make all those blank posts.. lol...

  what i was gonna say is im pretty sure that one reason their making these calls is cause over the last 2-3 years many in my cong. have had family members die, I even had a very good freind of mine, a nice young man, who ran away from home and apperently commited asphyxiation and was found dead in his car. Im really good freinds with thier entire family, including his younger brother who is my age, and his (thier) mom was daigonesed with a cerrtain form of cancer at the same time, and they went to a jw (i think he may have been an elder) they were directed to in the other side of the country to pursue medical assistance, but he did nothing essentially for her ((and other jw's in the same position apperently)), saying that she was getting better, while being halfway across the country and not even monitoring her. eventually she got much worse and stayed in hospital and died about only a month or so after her son. It was a tough time for me and my friends becuase it was such a shock..when i first heard i didnt want to belive it...

  and thats just one family in my hall.. theirs other familes who have lost someone also.. people i've known for years.. so i see that as one reason.. but if they asked me that question, likely i would refuse to awnser it.. lol how could you anwser it.. you cant just say that everything is hard about being a jw... lol and thanks..
