My My Steve...I never would have recognized you!....
I think you were probably in your teens when I knew your Mom and Dad.
Anyway..I'm glad you are free!..I am too in a way since Hubby passed away. Except his JW Mom keeps calling to see how I am..I have NO desire to talk with her at all.So for now I let the answering machine get it.
She called my Daughter while I was staying there and she told my JW Mom in Law that I have been staying there helping her because she was sick.
Maybe now she will leave me alone for a while.I just can't talk to her right now..Too much anger.
The one thing I wanted to say was..I am amazed that the witnesses had the time to disfellowship you. We begged for them to come and visit hubby (JW) when he was dying and they just couldn't find the time!!!(2 visits in 6 months)
They did however have plenty of time to work on the Assembly hall (Remodeling) aroud the corner..but couldn't stop by for a few minutes to say a prayer with him.
He died thinking Jehovah was mad at him and that he wouldn't LET them come and see him.(Because he hadn't been active for a while)
Loving religion....I don't think so....I pity the next one to come to MY door!...
Best of luck to both of you..The world is full of good things for you!..
Snoozy..aka...Golden Girl (Joy knows who I am!)

Jst2laws, Joy2bfree and the Scarlet Letter
by jst2laws inthe short version.
thursday was the night of the announcement.
though shunned since september 5, 2002 when we both went on local television to expose the wt society's pedophile protection policy, the official scarlet letter "a" was finally hung around our necks that evening.

I am doing fine!..Thanks to so many caring people on this board!.. I have been at my daghters because she has been sick. She had her gallbladder out but was still having the same symptoms. She needed help with the two grandkids. They had a really nice spare room that they call MY room..it has a beautiful view at night. But I am not ready for that yet! I like my independance. It was really hard though because I just got done taking care of hubby. I couldn't hardly stand someone else I love sick. She did go to the Dr and he figured out what it was and gave her a pres. that is really helping her.I am so relieved. She lost so much weight!. My other problem is my JW Mother in Law. She keeps leaving messages and I don't want to talk to her at all! I am being torn in half because she is a part of hubby and I love her for that..but she caused so many problems..I hate her for that. So I have to overcome that and figure out how to handle it!. And last..I still miss hubby terribly!..I don't have time to cry much as I have been keeping busy. But my heart is aching..I talked to one lady in a Cancer support chat room and her hubby died six months ago. She has two children and she is still griving hard. So I guess it will eventually get easier..But the warm glow will always be in my heart for him... And if there is a God..maybe someday we will meet again... Thank you so much for asking... I am babysitting tonight ..Kids are trying a new chinese restaurant. I get to sleep in "My Room" again!.... And I take a little stuffed doggie with me that hubby bought me before he got real sick!..I always give it a kiss and hug before I go to bed and when I wake up!... Snoozy....And I loved the flowers!..Thank you...

K...thank you for your reply....Yes..he had lung cancer that spread to his liver..He only lasted 5 months after diagnosed. He was 62. We had just retired and looking forward to a lot of things!..He didn't even smoke! He did everything right..had no bad habits!..Went to bed early ..got up early..wouldn't eat "Bad" foods..You never know!. Cancer has no favorites!...
Now both of my daughters are sick..one is still having the same symptons she had before she got her gallbladder out 3 months ago.she keeps losing weight and has a really bad taste in her mouth..It makes her sick....the other has nodules in her neck that she is getting taken out and biopsied in March..
They both have minor children and it is causing quite a strain on them..And I can only help so much....
What is that old saying about "When it rains it pours?".....
Your father really died young!..I am so sorry..how did your Mom take it?..Were they witnesses?..

Well...when Hubby started getting sick in Sept. We did a major cleanup of the basement.Every Thursday nightI would start hauling pieces of wood..all kinds of metal..aluminum..tables.chairs..too numerous to mention. Stuff I really wanted but felt the need to dump it all. We practically emptied the basement. He did a lot of airplane hobby work and had a lot of tables for working and display. I had to take them all apart and cut them up to fit in the trash. I had lamps..end tables old coffee tables...coffee pots...toasters..containers.. We had a big load out every Thursday...the pickup would be Friday. .that's when they would pick up large collections. So many people would take stuff I started to put it out earlier so they could go through it ..They started to come regular!..I bet they were really disappointed when I was finished!.. The last thing I put out was a homemade windmill that my Uncle made for my Mom and Dad years ago. It was in bad need of a paint job. I hadn't been able to do it for the last 3 years although I kept telling myself I would. I gave up and set it out! Well I was driving down my street the other day and lo and behold..my neighbor had it in their front yard!..I was so glad to see someone using it. I love trash collectors...and am very careful about putting personal stuff in my cans..but I have never seen anyone actually go in the can..just stuff laying outside ..It doesn't bother me at all..matter of fact..I get insulted if no one picks it up!.... Nothing worse than rejected Trash!!!!!!(He He!) Snoozy.....

Nina and family..I am so sorry for your loss. I just posted a prayer that my Grandson copied and gave to me that a school friend gave him. His Grandfather died (My Hubby) and I thought it was so beautiful..I posted it here.(See "A prayer shared") This board has been so very caring and supportive to me. I hope you share your grief with us. There are many shoulders here to cry on!. As far as the JW's go. Hubby was one. He was inactive and we only had two visits from the JW's at the KH he was attending. They had many calls from another congregation my JW Mother in Law went to.. asking them to please stop in and see him..but they never did. The one time they finally showed up..they promised a weekly visit and apologised that they hadn't come sooner..Over two weeks later..they called to say how sorry they were he passed away before their next weekly visit!... Well it had actually been going on the third week!I guess they aren't too good at counting!.. I didn't say anything because they were allowing him to have a JW memorial at the KH. I knew he really wanted that! I didn't want to rock the boat. But..I received a phone call afterwards...and they asked if they could come by to see me in a few weeks..I said "Sure"...I can't wait!...I will have plenty to say!..If they show up!... Everyday..hubby would wait for them..everyday..they never showed up!...They waited until he was too sick to even know they were there!. They were notified in Sept. They didn't show up until January!...And that was with many phone calls from his JW relatives and their congregations!.. I always wondered where the spiritual help was..Aren't they called Servants"?.. Oh yeah..They said they were sorry they didn't get here sooner.....they were busy working on the assembly hall right around the corner! Sorry to go on..just know that Hopefully God has taken over now!... Love and comfort to your family.. Snoozy.... PS...Ken P...Having just lost my hubby..I know how your wifes sister felt!...My heart goes out to her!..Hope she is doing better now..It takes time they say!...

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispered"Come to me!".
With tearful hearts we watched him...slowly fade away. Although we loved him dearly..we could not make him stay. A Golden heart stopped beating...hard working hands to rest...God broke our hearts to prove to us..he only takes the best!.
I thought that was so sweet. I know God cares about everyone..but it still touched my heart.
I started a journal so I write to him almost everyday. I don't know if he can hear me..but it makes me feel better. I know it takes time..and it does get easier..I can tell..but I thank you all for the support you have given me.
When he was sick..I wrote in the journal everyday. Many times some days. Just to keep a record of everything he went through and the pain and decline..I wanted to remember.. so that when I missed him so..I would be glad he is out of pain!...It really helps!..
Thank you all again..
Snoozy...

Well..I keep getting an Internal script error when I click on a post..Don't know what that is...I guess the bugs on my end?...
And Leslie...The counselor said she was going to give me a few weeks..It's only been a week and a half...[:(]
His JW family called twice to see how I am..I felt like screaming.."How do you think I am...I just lost my Husband!"..but I didn't. I really doubt if they will call anymore. His JW sister and brother in law went back to NY and his JW mom is alone with her other JW's. The only sadness I feel towards them is.. the common bond of hubby...he was her son and his sister's brother..I'm sure they are in a lot of pain also...except they think they will see him in Paradise!..I don't know what to think....
A little while before he died..hubby bought me a stuffed collie dog. I hug and kiss it goodnight everynight. I miss his hugs!
My daughter has been great..We were supposed to have a PJ party tonight but I think we are snowed in. They haven't even plowed yet...I wonder what the state does with all the tax money we pay to clean the streets? Her hubby insists he can do it!..He has a 4wheel drive!..Men can do anything...right before they get stuck!..[;)]
