He is in a rut Mr. Flipper. I don't know if he realizes it or not. They treat him like complete crap at the hall. They won't appoint him to MS even though he is a really loving person.

Plus, I find it hard to believe that he can be as close to his daughter as I believe he can. The society puts a wedge between family members regarding the blood issue. I mean, the society says to kill your family members if it came down to it. How can you be very close to somebody knowing that you could one day be put in a situation where you would have to make that decision.

I must say though, I don't think he would ever let our daughter die because of the blood issue. But, he always has this religion pressuring him into making these decisions that they have him believing is the right, loving thing to do before God...

with so many articles and news stories on-line regarding michael jackson, his involvement with the jws and now his children being taken to the kingdom hall, will this damage the reputation of the watch tower society?

many of these articles have comments from exjws telling the truth about 'the truth', plus google searches are throwing people onto freeminds..

I do! Hubby would never have googled anything JWs if it hadn't been for MJ. So, for our family, it has made a big difference.

Yeah, I was on that call and that's where I found out. Sorry, I forgot to give credit where credit is due!!!

Anywho, you know how long that will take? You think it will make them go bankrupt?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding "attention seekers"?

we all love it when people pay attention to us or our opinions.

but what i am talking about is people who crave and force attention from others.

not just people who talk a lot, but those that force everyone around them to focus on them and them only.. in one of my classes there is a woman who raises her hand to ask a question, but never really has a question to ask.

Billy - that's what you get!
