my brother in law left us and went to his heaven to be with his dad today at 1:20pm pacific.
it took his strong body almost two days to give up its fight.
now we can move on..... his daughter is due to have a new baby on may 20th....a very sad and very happy time and the continuation of life..
deepest empathy and
thoughts of support, mate,
to those who mourn the
loss of this man so loved....
well after fading and keeping a low key i think the elders are finally going to get to me.
in 2007 i moved to another city but quickly moved back home about two months later.
the whole time everyone from my old congregation has been thinking i've been in another city.
like OTWO said: if any dr0ne catches you out in public
and is actually still speaking to you (you know how
arbitrary those b!tchy little girls can be) it is best to
keep it moving!
them: chickpea! hi, how are you??
me: (continuing to walk but turning to
face them briefly) i am truly doing quite
well and i hope the same is true for you...
gotta keep moving, lots on the to-do list...
( it has gotten to the point i offer no greeting
or farewell, due to the fact i can hardly recall
names... including people who came to my home
for 10 years during the now defunct book study)
i am asking because i don't get the appeal!.
(preface: at hospital today, can't leave floor to get another h20 bottle, just tried drinking coffee again for the first time in 14years).
.
i was 4 years old when the great aunties who
lived down the block from my grandmother, their
sister, gave me my first cup of what they called
"coffee-milk"....
for 50 years, i have been drinking coffee in
one form or another .... still intoxicated by
the smell, still thrilled by that first sip in the
morning....
it is adaptive for me... a pick-up in the morning
and early afternoon, but i could drink a cup at
night sitting in bed reading and still fall asleep
with the book in my hand....
in the june 15th wt it says on page 9 i will just write it out as it is to hard and unbelievable to preface this.
so here it is.. "many who today are members of the christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restrain.
yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy.
the best defense, as if one were needed,
against that sort of propaganda, is to be
able to look them right in the eyes with
your head held high and a smile on your
face....
the kind of smile that shows up
in your eyes, unlike that fake grimace
dr0nes paste on their faces, with dead
eyes looking out on what they perceive
to BE the evil world the b0rg has convinced
them exists everywhere but the KH
altho we all know what brand of HELL
lurks therein)
seriously, i have seen jaws drop when i
encounter the "faithful" in public because
i am almost always wearing an irrepressible
smile that is born of being deeply satisfied
that i am truly on the right track for my life....
my moral restraint is alive and well....
but i am working on that....
.
would that our message had been as powerful.... .

the lost opportunity of the black men who fill these cells....
brilliantly incisive
i have been in a world of pain this weekend.. some of you know the ongoing battle i have had with my ex wife, an uber dub hypocrite, over seeing my kids more.
3 weeks ago i managed to secure an agreement from her that provided my 13 yr old daughter friday night to sunday afternoons and for my 16 yr old son to have friday night to sat afternoon with the option to extend it to sunday if he so desires.
this is each second weekend.. first due weekend visit she rearranged the days so that she was technically pre agreement start date.
my only comments are to say i totally agree you
had to set your boundaries so everyone knows
where they are... and yes, it sucks that one parent
is intent on being manipulative and obstructive,
but ya know what? your kids will be better able
to face the real world for having been exposed to
it and assisted in dealing with it by your loving
guidance....
dont let the ex get to you.... or them!! stand your ground!!!!
im sure the question has been brought up before on this board and i imagine that for many of us the answer is patent.
however, i recently saw a documentary on pbs regarding the mormons and it stated categorically that the church of jesus christ of latter day saints is not a cult.
given that it has its own set of strangeness and history of revision as has the wtbts, could it also (the jw) be considered a main stream, although minor religion?.
the "blood issue" and its amassing adherent fatalities
is like "heaven's gate" in slow motion.....
mind-control doom's day cult, full-bodied bouquet
of deception with a suggestion of creepy
i had my religious view on my facebook profile stating that i am a cult survivor.
my dad saw it and is trying to get the family to not speak to me..
it may well have the unintended consequence of
pushing fence-sitting relatives over to your side...
the vigor of this forum seems to suggest there
are not just a few seats in the KHs being warmed
by individuals who are at the tipping point
good luck to you in the approaching storm...
i reject the gender binary
but i do have ovaries
