Very inhuman. My mother's day of departure isn't too far in the future. I will not do anything about a memorial but I will write an obit in the paper. A lot about her and nothing about "them".

I Miss My Mother
by Xrati inshe looks like maria callas.
she died of leukemia four years ago because, you know, she didn't want to have blood transfusion.
when she died, i didn't cry at all, though she died with my right hand on her chest.

Welcome here. I'm sorry about your Mom. Maria Callas was so beautiful and talented (and troubled) she has an interesting life story. Thanks for reminding me how great a singer she was.

Silentlamb needs to vent!
by feenx ini swear to god i feel like a friggin tard right now!!
i have so much crap piled on that i feel like i'm starting to crack, and honestly, as i'm sure many other silentlambs can relate to, i start to get incredibly angry that not only do i have to deal with this sh*t at all, but also that despite my best efforts, conscious efforts, to overcome things, to heal and to move on with a healthy life, i still have times where i feel like it just breaks me.
where things feel hopeless.

Wow, at your young age I think you are way ahead of the game. A lot of us didn't start to remember or have pieces start to surface untill the late 30's. What a breakthrough about the handwashing. Has it subsided any since the realization? Have you thought about confronting this guy at a counselors office? Somewhere that you wouldn't kill him. That might empower you a lot!
You are worth more than this suffering...you deserve peace and happiness.

Cease & Desist letter
by carla ini have given this out many times but darn if i didn't save it somewhere so i have to keep retyping it, so here it is.
i have sent the letter to the local kh & ny and told my jw to keep them away and still the persist.
the wt considers the letter good for only one year.

The purpose of a Cease and Desist is basically setting boundries with them. I would make sure the letter was Certified for my records. Put up the sign as well. Then document their visits and have a copy of the letter to anyone who comes to the door( date the letter you hand to them....date and time) Then you have a legal case to sue for repeated tresspassing and harassment.

Is apartheid really dead?
by LouBelle inmy country has been democratically free since 1994 when nelson mandela was elected as the first black president of south africa - there was much celebration as this new rainbow nation looked to it's bright furture.
mandela had and still has a fantastica aura about him, drawing in all sorts of people for different backgrounds / colours into into his peaceful presence.
mandela holds no bitterness towards his past imprisonment - he thought it a wast of time to dwell on a violent past.

LouBelle, I am sorry about conditions there and have fear regarding the future as well...for everyone. I hope that when Mr Mandela passes the lid doesn't blow off. That does seem to be mankind's tendancy. In looking at the US history of immigration as my mother once said, "The oppressed become worse oppressors". The worst part is the worst lot of people climb to the top and enforce their personal agendas which negates all the progress the majority of people have made.
Racism is alive and well everywhere. Due to a lot of immigration there is a renewal serge. People are afraid of loosing what they have worked for. I guess it all is based on fear on both sides.
I really appreciate your posting as our news coverage here doesn't tell the whole story.
Did you know that Nelson Mandela's first wife was a JW (I think they had children)

Anybody Watching "A Raisin in the Sun"?
by tall penguin inright now on abc is premiering a movie called "a raisin in the sun".
it has sean "diddy" combs in it.
anyhow, it was filmed here in toronto and if you're watching the movie, the house they just bought is the home of one of my old return visits.

I just finished watching it a while ago. How weird that must be for you! You brought light and friendship to that woman.
I think P Diddy tried really hard. I would watch anything Phylisha Ryshad was in. She is fabulous.

New BOE Letter
by jefferywhat inall boe have just got a letter telling them to encourage all parents to be more on guard with their children.
suggestions such as not letting your young children go to the toilet on their own, not working with older men on their own and not leaving children in the car on rv's and calls un attended.
the letter basically instructed the elders to remind all family heads that its their responsibility to protect their children whilst at and away from the hall etc.

The Society can't delegate who is responsible. Everyone is responsible for every child. They have covered up for years. That makes them part of this horrendous crime.
