my daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia, and possibly a blood clot in her lung.
they'll be testing through the night...apparently, her heart is enlarged as well.
she is scared... and if her jw father catches wind of it, he will be there trying to intefere with her treatment... he lives close by to her, so i'll be flying down in the morning....to head him off at the pass.

i just got a call from jamie this afternoon, saying she found her husband in the bathroom, not breathing.
i've not had the chance to speak to her, she left me a voice mail.
but i'm very worried.
sending positive thoughts for strength to endure
(((((((((jamie and husband))))))))))))
it better not be the only interpretation!!!
i poke my kids and some of my besties!!!
i'm venting a little bit, just a smidgen anyway.
i might not remember this thread tommorrow, as i just popped the ambien, and i'm waiting for it kick in so i can hit the sack.
i wanted to post this before my brain goes haywire.
the perfect weekend as a JW would have had to
include enough snow to close the highway to the KH...
had a few of those, and believe me it was more fun
to have to move FEET of snow, repeatedly, all wkend,
than force 4 kids to listen to me read the "study article"
to them while we drove to the hall....
forgive me, my babies; mama was an idiot...
they got me to believe i would see you in paradise!!!
one must forget the misguided teaching of the watch tower before one can.
honestly address what is wrong with women teaching..i was one who believe.
women should not teach.
the passion behind the reality of a very active
local chapter of a national advocacy group in
this tiny upper midwest town belongs to a
female lutheran pastor, whose commitment
to justice and equality inspired me to accept
a position on the Board of PFLAG Washburn...
she wears me out with her religiosity, but
she is dedicated to human rights....
my response to her genuinely spontaneous
"PRAISE JESUS" is usually smart ass, like
"and the panoply of gods preceeding him"
18 if you face a similar situation, please remember that jehovah sympathizes with you.
by cutting off contact with the disfellowshipped or disassociated one, you are showing that you hate the attitudes and actions that led to that outcome.
however, you are also showing that you love the wrongdoer enough to do what is best for him or her.
i STILL am not sure if i have been DF'd since
some of the g00bers still talk to me in passing!!!
WTH???
however, i no longer dodge the dr0nes that i
encounter in public ( i used to duck around
corners with agility unexpected for a plump lady)
now i look 'em right in the eye and say "HI"
usually with their name, but i find i am not able
to always remember their names... it is THEIR
sharia law b0rg teaching to uphold, not mine...
there is generally only one of us smiling...
guess who is GENUINELY happy with life?
tragic sheeple who can be convinced
shunning shows love.....
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Voltaire
do you ever pray?.
have you felt, "what the heck?
it's worth a shot"?.
i have made it habit, when deeply concerned
for one of my kids' well-being and safety or
when moved by autumnal splendour or aghast
(once again) at human cruelty or stupidity, or
any time of strongly felt emotions to say something
about it aloud and with intention "release it to the
universe".... if there IS a god or gods or higher
powers, she/they will get the message....
might qualify as a prayer
andre, who had served jehovah for years, had the bitter experience of being led astray.
by apostate thinking.
he felt that having a quick look at an apostate web site would not be dangerous.he recalls: initially, i was attracted to the so-called truths that the.

the watchtower and awake have given some warnings in the past concerning materials available via the internet.
apostate and porn sites, violent games, useless and frivolous entertainment, and so on.
for now, they are contended with just giving friendly warnings.
every time i read something else about the b0rg and the internet
i go looking around on facebook for dr0nes from the KH i attended...
to be sure, 90% are the young ones, kids i knew now in 20-30s
and some of them have really buttoned down access to their info,
but they are still there, still socializing via the interwebs, and some
of them are downright nasty....
the society might give new light, but there will be a persistent
segment of the fringe, "for appearances only", nominal JWs whose
actions will clearly indicate where the b0rg can stick their new light
