part 9: the summer of love jw style .

a moment of reflection: looking back my family and me had come a long way.

there was much more to do, but i could taste sweet victory just ahead, just around the corner.

Amazing,

Thank you so much for printing these stories. I have been e-mailing each installment to a non-witness friend, and she is entralled.
At the risk of sounding like an "Amazing groupie," this stuff is just awesome. Thank you.

Part 2: Torn between Two Worlds

by Amazing in

part 2: torn between two worlds .

in late november 1989 we decided to visit our new town, and see our new house.

we scoped out the small town for its amenities, and this included a visit to the kingdom hall where we would eventually attend.. hindsight, being 20-20, i regret now that i did not try to get my family out of the organization before the move.

Worried about my Dad in hospital :(

by Simon in

jw
friends

we visited angharad's parents at the weekend and got a call on sunday night from her sister who'd been called by my sister as they hadn't been able to contact us .... the message was not a happy one:.

my dad has had a heart attack and was in intensive care in hospital.. it was a while before i managed to speak to anyone over there with people probably out but i eventually spoke to his wife who says he's doing ok and has now been moved to the main ward but is being kept in as you would expect.

he may have to be moved to calgary for some investigation / tests.. he had heart surgery about 15 years ago and i think 4 of his 5 bypasses have failed so he has to take quite a bit of medicine for pain and stuff.

Simon,

I'm so sorry about your Dad. May he have a speedy recovery, and may you and your sissters sort everything out.

Justice #22 - Legalism or Mercy? - THE END

by Amazing in

jw
friends

justice #22 need for mercy in place of rigid legalism.

intro: the account is mostly about two jw men, brother jay and elder dean.

but his two-week vacation pay was under $500.

FreeFallin

Amazing,

What a moving story. Thank you for posting it. I missed your other stories, but will look for them. I'm always a little surprised when I read of the doubledealing by elders. I used to think they were above that, and it was only "sister-born-in-the-truth-special-pioneer" who would stick it to you. Thank you again for the insight.

Oooh, the Flamingo pink Paradise book. My parents had one in the house when I was a child. The pictures of people falling in ravines and all the fire and hail. Still scares me.
