"I see you are still alive"

by Honesty in

jw
friends

i went to the local post office today.. a car pulled up with 2 men and a young woman inside.. i smiled and said, "hi.

" the man who was driving waved, backed out of the parking space and moved 3 spaces down towards the next business in the strip mall.. the driver walked over and said, "i see you are still alive.".

i said, "yes, god has kept me alive for the last 3 years.

recently, i've heard from various jw family members that either i am viewed as "close to being an apostate" because i had made some comments suggesting that the fds is clearly wrong on many issues over the years or that i "have left jehovah" and therefor by my new way of life, i must be shunned.

while visiting my dying non jw uncle in the hospital, i was told outrightly that it was wished that i never showed my face and that my mere presence was objectionable and that since i "left jehovah", they could not talk to me any longer.. their viewpoints saddened me because they said all this in front of my uncle who can barely respond to anything.

his reaction: he cried his eyes out!

Ruth Eeker

I'm so sorry to hear your uncle is so ill.

My heart goes out to you Minimus and GOOD FOR YOU for keeping going!

As A@G said, could they not put their issues aside for 2 seconds and focus on the matter at hand (your uncle)?!?!

I know how much it hurts and how much it angers me when family treats you this way.
(another hug )

You must have felt some what good when he spoke up in front of your aunt!!

Remember to take comfort in the fact that God see's it all and your uncle's day is brighten up because you....they can't take that away from him or you!

Take care.
Luv,
Ruth

I actually didn't flick as much through it as I thought I wouldl.

I love David Cook but the show was totally setting up for Archuleta to win...so I was resigned to the fact he would..
SO i was definately surprised when Cook won!

Someone with originality for once! allllright! ;)

Mr. Flipper & Son Hear, See, and Get Footprints of Bigfoot on Pack Trip

by flipper in

jw
friends

so, the long awaited trip began for my son and i to return to the same place he heard a bigfoot a year ago in the forests of northern california.

the trip started out unfortunately for us to be a 7 mile hike instead of a 2 to 3 mile hike in to our base camp , as huge snow drifts covered the road , making it even inaccessible for 4 wheel drive, so , with packs on backs we hiked over 50 ft long snow drifts on places on the trail.

even snow was covering one creek near the lake we were destined for .

Ruth Eeker

Sounds like quite the adventure!!!!! can't wait to see the pics! And I agree....seclusion from Humans..very smart! lol ;)

The End of Circuit Overseers

by scotsman in

is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

Ruth Eeker

WOW....thanks for more confirmation about the end of CO's. What the hell are they going to do now?? They don't have jobs or skills....neither do their wives! Will they just set up permanent residence the in allotted Kingdom Hall apartments? Who now will the kiss-ass's of the congregation suck up to now?!
