I was locked out of my dad's house AGAIN tonight!

by Melody Blankenship in

tonight, monday, november 10, 2008, i went out to see my dad ([name and city edited for privacy reasons]) about 7:15 p.m. i saw his wife standing at the kitchen sink when i pulled in, and i pulled around back as i always do.

by the time i got out of my car, she had turned the lights off in the kitchen and went into my dad's bedroom.

i rang and rang the doorbell but she (rose ann andris powell) would not come unlock the door.

I went out to my dad's tonight about 6:00 p.m. and did get in to see my dad. He was in bed, as usual, and his wife was changing his "Depends." After she got him changed, I went in and sat on the other bed in his bedroom and asked her in front of him, "Why wouldn't you let me in here last night?" She said "Well, it was phone-in meeting night." I told her "You specifically told us not to come on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sunday mornings." She said "No, I said Monday and Thursday." I said "Well, just thought you might ought to know that I did call Adult Protective Services again when I couldn't get in and you will probably be getting a visit from them tomorrow." She said, "Did you tell them that you haven't been out here in quite a while?" (I was out of town over the weekend at a wrestling tournament my grandson was in, as well as having a family reunion on Sunday.) And, either my brother or myself go out there at least every other day usually, to check in on him. She said "Some people just thrive on causing trouble." Boy, oh boy, is that ever the pot calling the kettle black!! Anyway, just thought I'd update you and tell you he hasn't drank the koolaid yet! Please keep him in your prayers, as well as the judge hearing our case! Thanks!

Adult Protective Services has been called, but of course they will not be going out there today as it is Veteran's Day and there is no one in the Beckham County office today. I called the toll free state hot line and the lady informed me to notify the sheriff's office the next time this happened and they would indeed send out a uniformed officer to help me gain access to my dad. Anyway, I will try again today to go out and see him and will update everyone later. Please pray for him!

To Oompa.....If you think I was df'd, that is not correct. I am not, have never been, and never will be a JW. I am just an "apostate" daughter of a poor old man who was "tricked" into joining the organization by the witch he married. Just wanted to clear that up!

I will be calling Adult Protective Services in the morning at 8:00 a.m. AGAIN! It seems that the staff over here is very short-handed at the present time and I am quite sure they won't be able to check on his welfare for a few days though. Just last week here in Beckham County, OK, a three-year old boy was KILLED (beaten to death) when the judge placed him back into his mother's care because that was the recommendation of the Child Protective Services. The mother was at work when her boyfriend beat his head against a wall or the floor. My dad is just being starved to death. His wife would not even let him have an apple on Sunday Nov. 2 when he asked for one. This happened while he was in the hospital, no less! When I went to see him on Monday morning, I asked him if he wanted anything when I came back and he said he would like a hamburger. I did take him one when I went back up there about 7 p.m. and it upset his wife something terrible. She even went down to the nurse's station and came back with the doctor. I'm sure she told him that I had given him a burger and to scold me. He opened my dad's chart and said it looked like everything was looking pretty good except that his blood-sugar had dropped down to thirty-something the night before! I told him maybe that wouldn't happen tonight as he'd just had a burger. His wife was NOT a happy-JW camper!

I rang and rang the doorbell but she (Rose Ann Andris Powell) would not come unlock the door. I went around to his bedroom window where the curtains are open on occasion, but they were not tonight. I then went to the back door again and was looking in the big picture window and she came to the back door to look out and see who was there. When she saw me, she just stood to the side of the door (like I didn't see her in the mirrors directly across from the back door) and would NOT open the door so I could go in and see my dad, who is bedridden with Alzheimer's. She is from the loving [edited for privacy reasons] Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in [city edited for privacy reasons]. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this kind of experience?

if all k-halls burned down in one night......????

by oompa in

jw
friends

i'd say, break out the hot dogs and marshmellows!

!

Melody Blankenship

If this notion does get to spreading around and y'all decide to do it, will you please notify me so I can get out of Elk City, Oklahoma and have an alibi, 'cause I'm pretty sure they would come straight to my house and I would be at the very top of the list as to being behind it. The JW's ain't worth going to jail over or I'd already be there! Be blessed!!

Re: Tract left at my door 06-Nov-08 19:18

in response to bumble bee from the above listed post wherein she stated that a jw tract was left in her mailbox......i think that is against the law (pretty sure it is here in the usa) and you might have a lawsuit against the wtbts.

i do believe that anything that is left in your mailbox is supposed to have the proper postage attached.

just my thoughts but you might want to "ask a lawyer.

Bumblebee:

I do hope you will consider calling your local post office and reporting this. This could get these people in a "heap of trouble," like they need any help in doing that themselves. At least it would give the speakers at the next brainwashing session a new topic to speak about,,,,

"Fools, do not put our WTBTS trash in people's mailboxes. It's illegal and they are talking about it on the internet.....that tool of SATAN!"

Be Blessed!

Tract left at my door

by loosie in

i haven't been to a meeting in 4 years.

i am not df'd or da'd.

but i don't claim to be a dub any more.

Melody Blankenship

Now how funny would that be if the whole JW organization was shut down over something as simple as putting their Watchtower trash in someone's mailbox? I am sure that they will deny the whole incident (it never happened, you know) but it would sure be funny! And I am quite sure that in one of their upcoming "studies," it will no doubt be a new topic for the speaker to address at their next brainwashing session. "Fools, do not put our literature in people's mailboxes. It is illegal and they are talking about it on the internet!" :) Be Blessed!

Defence of watchtower society Links

by reniaa in

i thought long and hard before making this thread, that many will not agree with it but i think there needs to be balance and people to realise there are alternate viewpoints out there on many of these subjects, the ones that are most spoke about on this forum.

i was recently sent a full message containing mary's book and these links give the rebuttal to many of her points.

those that are still open-minded enough feel free to look over them even if in the end you still don't agree at least you have heard both the defence as well as the attack as they are on the internet.

Melody Blankenship

Sorry about that, but that wasn't the only word that I noticed that was spelled incorrectly. I always think I am reading something written by a ten year old if a person can't spell. That's just one of my pet peeves, and please forgive me for that. I suppose there are some intelligent people who just can't spell but I will not be reading anything they write. Peace and love!
