my mother was just diagnosed with vocal chord disorder.
it's rarely fatal but it feels like she's dying whenever she has an attack.
the symptoms are very similar to heart attack and stroke-trouble breathing, pressure in the chest, numb lips and tongue.
My heart goes out to you and your mom. I would be in a panic if I had to go through what she is experiencing, I would also feel paniced and helpless if I had to watch some one I loved go through an attack. I sincerely hope she finds something that works for her.
hugs to you and hug your mom
it was time for a new look.
so i have been playing around with some ideas.
when i was in winnipeg i had a hairdresser that was great.
Love it, love it, love it, you look marvelous and most definitely YOUNGER! Your HOT!
i noted from a previouse post many based it on spelling.. i hope this forum accepts new posters on more than that.
how is one accepted on this forum?.
accolytes.. .
Heck, with all the texting today, who needs to spell right? I heard on the news that some educators are thinking of taking cursive writing out of school because it appears the world is turning more to texting then writing in cursive.
I see a lot of simple way to communicate, lol ( laughing out loud) brb ( be right back) btt ( back to the top) the list goes on and on... where are we really headed, is this new technology the future?
if romans 5:12 is correct then what started the ball rolling in the animal kingdom?.
why do they die?
did a pussy eat a peice of forbiden cat meal?.
God only created life so he could take life? Serve Jehovah all the days of your life... wow, he sounds a bit like a dictator. Don't say he gave us free will because, we have free will as long as we do what he tells us to do.
The animals, I asked the question in another thread about birth, why do animals suffer giving birth? what apple did they eat and off what tree? One lady said her cat gives birth and the little kittens just slide out with no pain.... not true with my cat, she was distressed, scard, panting, couldn't get comfortable. I saw horses in a lot of distress giving birth, I could see the pain in their eye.
Another question, if animals were to eat other animals for the ecological balance.... what purpose will they serve in the so called " paradise earth"? Are they going to be there just for our pleasure? Will they be clean or will they stink like a dog after its been caught in the rain or after rolling on a dead animal?
If animals are not suppose to have everlasting life, are they just suppose to be our pets in paradise? If thats the case, wouldn't we feel sad when one dies? We are not suppose to feel sadness in paradise.
When it gets down to picking the bible apart, there's a lot that just doesn't sound right.
leftchica,
Thank you for the response. Did your mother have any influence on your not believing, or was it just your own observations? If she did play a roll in it, I would be interested in knowing what.
Again, I'm' so happy you see the real truth, no matter what your husband believes, I hope nothing he says or does will bring you back into that mind controlling cult!
You didn't say if you have children, I hope for the sake of any child or future child, that you do everything in your power to keep them away from the WT. It really upsets me to see my grand-kids under their influence ( ages 5 and 8). One day they told me that, if i do Christmas and Birthdays, I worship the devil.... that just about broke my heart, but I told them that just WAS NOT true. I do celebrate Christmas, with a tree and presents for the kids ( parents won't stop me from that, they don't want to rob us of all our joy) and I can tell you, their little eyes light up when they see my tree and all the presents for them.
One thing that helps my son-in-law and daughter is that the only family memebers in the cult are his mother and step dad. If they should ever decide to leave, they won't leave behind all their family and realtives and be shunned by all their friends since all the friends they run around with are not jw's. I can't tell you how happy I am about that. I encourage my daughter to do things with her non jw friends, I think that give's some balance to what she is being taught at meetings.
There is so much help here, spend as much time as you can here, a lot of people have been in your shoes and can relay their experiences, what works and what doesn't.
Have a good day, all day,
cawshun
Welcome leftchica, My son in law also was in and out of the Organization, he got back and now my daughter, like you got baptized. At first it didn't bother me, I thought, she will be learning about the Bible. It was after they had children that I got into researching the WT because of Birthdays and Christmas, and other holidays.
I was aslo amazed at what I found out through an internet search. I found this sight and so far, this has been the most helpful.
I have learned with my daughter, I do have to be careful of how I approach the jws and the wt. She got very upset with me one time and said her kids didn't need to be around me. We patched that up right away, but it taught me she gets very defensive if I question.
I just wait for the right oppoutunities to slip something in to make her think... I slak off but when birthdays and christmas roll around, I get so upset all over again.
I just try to stay up on what is going on with the jws, how the people here give critque to what is being said and try to keep a lot of it fresh in my head so if an oppourtunity arises, I may be able to slip something in to make her think.
I am so happy to hear your story, everytime I hear a jw wake up to the real truth, it gives me hope. I'm so happy you decided to post on this forum, it not only helps you but helps me to think there is still hope that my daughter will wake up to it too.
thank you and its nice to meet you here,
cawshun
i still can't believe it.
she was here for the bbq, we had an awesome time, laughing, her telling stories from our childhoods.
i gave her a hug and told her i loved her before she left.
BB, I'm so sad this has happened, I'm so happy your last time spent with her was joyful and happy and laughing together.. my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
her son, jesse, is in serious condition.. my son is in surgery and may lose his hand and arm.. jesse got an infection in a cut on his finger.
his finger and hand swelled to the size of an arm .. .
they have to do surgery on his hand and arm.
FHN, I hope Jesse has a favorable out come. Try to stay positive and try to keep his spirits up. Your both in my thoughts.

our area is hit hard by this recession.
unemployment is out the roof - close to 18%.. my wife has been trying to find work for over a year.
she has done so very diligently.
AK Jeff- I agree with flipper, only you can sell anything on ebay. I heard of one lady that would go to good will stores, by things for a few dollars and then sell the item on ebay for 20, 40 and 60 dollars. I believe you can also go to wholesale sights on the internet and sell those items on ebay, clothing, shoes, purses and jewelry. You can also get with UPS and they will bring you shipping boxes and come to your house to pick up your shipment.
Go to ebay and look over all the categories of what is selling on there. I believe they even have a tutorial on selling.
I have bought a lot of books for my bookcase, baby blankets, antique linens, iron wall art, a baby crib. I always thought about getting into selling on there, just haven't had the time. oh yes, I bought antique tin ceiling tiles and made cornices and a bookshelf out of them.
It amazes me what people are interested in, someones junk is anothers treasure
son: hi dad.. dad: hi son.. son: so, what do you want to do today?.
dad: nothing.. son: want to play a game?.
dad: same as you son....same as you.. .
welcome mrpink, I like your sense of humor
