happy mother's day!!!!
for all the mommys who stay up all night with a sick child.
for those who are a taxi to every event under the sun, the cooks, maids, doctors, nurses to every cut and scrape.
Cassiline,
Very sweet post.
"For all the Mommys who stay up all night with a sick child".
My son had an asthma episode last night. He's fine now but we were up until 4:00am.
Dad also stayed up, he was worried too.
Happy Mothers Day everyone!
I am enjoying a day at home with the family.
No running errands and no chores. We promised ourselves!
Hilda,
Fingers in ears.
La,la,la
I cant hear you......
La,la,la
Happy Mothers day Hilda!!

Ven,
Thank you for posting this.
my heart is pounding so fast right now...... (takes deep breath).
ok.......... the house across the street stayed empty a long time.
finally it was bought and soon rented out to what appeared at first, a group of college kids.
sf,
Although interesting, I cant say that the thought of you peeking through the curtins and rushing back to the computer to report isnt a bit amusing in itself.
O.K. while we are on the subject,
What is the weirdest/funiest thing anyone ever saw their neighbors do?
Once while we were renting a duplex the couple next door to me locked themselves out of their apt. I saw the man trying to climb up through the window they were in their 70's and heavyset people. He couldnt fit through so he had his wife climb up. She also had a hard time fitting through but he wiggled her and pushed on her bum until she squished through the tiny window. This is not a jab at heavyset people, Im just trying to help you understand what I saw.
This sounds awful but I was laughing so hard I couldnt offer to help them. I was afraid I would humilate them even more.
The last thing I saw were the back of her tiny feet pointed straight up. There must have been quite a drop to the floor.

Wiz,
You makin me laugh too hard, my tummys hurting.
Please tell us part two of the doggie doo doo story!
I am actually pretty busy with my own crazy life to be too worried about the neighbors but once I noticed my neighbor walking out of the sauna and I couldnt stop looking. Im sure he knew I was on my deck. Some things are just too shocking to tear yourself away. I probably would have been more shocked if he would have walked out wearing a suit and tie though.
Elsewhere,
Are you tellin me if there was a gorgeous naked sunbather in your neighbors yard, you wouldnt be peekin out the window?
as ive made it known on this board, my current status with the watchtower bible and tract society is that of inactive.
this is a loophole i have utilized, to keep an open channel of communication with family members in the organization.. i want to clarify with everyone: i do not hold any doctrinal ideas, theology, ideology, opinions expressed in any form by the wtbts.
therefore, to simply put, i do not believe in the wtbts in any way, shape, or form.
waiting,

I was thinking the same thing!
She did take up quite a bit. I tried to talk about Jay in my responses. She was an interesting sort. The "flowing river just eddying along" thing, was a bit dramatic though. Maken' me giggle now...
Jay,
I admire your courage.
"telephone pole out yer ass"
That is an interesting version of that scripture.
I wont be able to quote that verse again without thinking of you.
yesterday, our local newspaper ran the story about the jw pedophile issue.
just a few moments ago, i emailed a letter to the editor.
i hope it gets published, and i hope that some of you will also email your newspaper regarding the news.
Brian,
Its o.k.
I didnt think you meant there was anything wrong with the letter.
You and Naebs did make a point. Things do blow over. I do believe every life counts. Even if one person reads it and it made them think twice about studying or answering the door and accepting a watchtower then it helped at least one person.
ballistic posted this article on his recent thread.

If my grandfather would have read this article before he went into surgery he may be still alive today.

Wiz,
"MYO-F-B!"
That cracked me up.
Im so laughing right now.
I mean isnt that what we are doing here? Getting in everyones buisness? Making it our own? Just putting our two cents in whenever we see fit. I know its not really related to the subject but I realized the only reason I know what I know about life and the Org. is because Im terribly nosey and curious.
I have very boring neighbors though.
Im afraid most of the action on our street is usually at our house.
Im sure they are watching us most of the time.

larc,
The letter is basic and clear and doesnt contain allot of personal opinions or bashing etc. So what if it blows over.
Even if the letter helps only some, it is still worth the print.
wonder if she'll have to be face to face with the three new york articles that came out today.. i'm crossing my fingers and praying.
she's a sociologist (believe it or not) and knows about social issues.
just that she says "talk to the hand" whenever anything is negative about dubs.. but this -- this she wont be able to ignore.
Thanks Sunny,
I may have read about it.
I have read Ray Franz books but its been awhile. I was pretty emotional when I read them because it was couple of years ago when I was finding out the truth about the org. I was digesting so much at once, Im sure some things slipped by. I should give them a reread.
this was printed in june 2000 as far as i can make out.
what do you make of it?.

If this is true, "officially changed".
The society usually announces changes in the watchtower.
Has anyone seen it? I wonder what my J.W. family will do when they realize my grandfather refused a transfusion and died for nothing. Why am I thinking they will somehow accept it but at the same time probably hope that I will not find out about it.
