My brother-in-law has cancer and has only a few months to live.

My brother has prostate cancer and Parkinson disease.

Life sure sucks sometimes.

I was in the hospital for a week with platelet problems and blader, and the bill was $75,000.00 before the insurance pays whatever it does. I'm broke with no money.

I guess it could be worse, darn I shouldn't have said that because it probably will.

I had to go to the emergency room to get catherised. I won't go into all the details. As it turned out I had some type of infection that (they still don't know) caused my blood to not cloot. It has a name but I can't remember it. My blood platelates were way down and they gave me several kinds of medicine and a blood transfusion. Still have the cathera on, operation soon to get a bladder stone out. Talk later.

Rooming

I remember rooming very well. Back in the 50s I was in charge of rooming for our circuit assembly. My dad died about a month before the assembly. We would go door to door and ask if they would rent a room for two days for the assembly attenders. I had to keep a list and assign the ones that sent in a request to an address. I would call the householder to be sure it was still available. I was 19 years old then.

my dad now an ex witnesses was visited last sunday by an active witness who said that during the special talk in the assembly in colchester england they would be advised to begin stockpiling food and water for what could a economic meltdown!.

my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.

have the governing body become a pseudo survivalist regime, and where is their faith!!.

Decided

They must have got the information from some religion on TV who sells food that last for years in containers they sell. They try to get all christains to buy some and keep it for the problems comming soon.

I was reading some magazine my wife got from Armstrong and he is telling us that the end is comming very soon when God allows some other government to destroy the US and England for not sticking up for Jesus.

The judge told him to not drop the case and he was going to keep the papers in case he changed his mind. He never followed through on it. He died several years later. She knows of two other cases of a brother that molested two other girls 5 years old and nothing was done.

She is going to sue the WT Society. I hope she wins the case. I'll keep you posted.

The reason she is going to sue is because she saw the news about the case that was won and the trurma she has endured because of her rape.
