My mom is a hardcore JW. If she should pass(may that day be many, many, many moons away), I am NOT going to have the memorial in a KH. I'll invite the JW's to her service because that is her life. But, the service will be held in a public place.

No way in hell I am going to allow them to disrespect her and sum up her life in a few short sentences! My mom is such an exceptional, wonderful, giving person. The idea that they would try to minimize that by using a recruitment talk makes me sick to my stomach.

None of our loved ones deserves such a cold, standard speech.

Welcome~ I am a Michigander, too. I had many trips with my family to Holt. We used to stop at 7-11 after it was over and get snacks for our ride home.

This is a great website-glad you joined.

Good to study JW past .... New "Writing Archives" under direction of the Writing Committee

by wannabefree in

yes friends, it is important to understand your rich spiritual heritage as jehovah's witnesses, and so you don't have to look at old publications on your own or refer to worldly sources, the organization is pleased to select for you the history as we want you to have it and you can get it in your current watchtower.. from january 15, 2012 watchtower pg 31-32. the governing body is keenly interested in.

our theocratic history.

That's interesting. Wonder why they just don't make all of their publication's and literature available on the WT cd? That would be a way for JW's to learn about their past history.

Have a wonderful visit with them. Several years ago, i met Onthewayout and one of his friends-can't remember his name. They were both very nice. It's good to be able to match a name with a face-even though OTWO has his picture as an avatar.

last week wednesday at about 11:40 pm, on a cold and rainy night, my uncle breathed his last breath.

he was at hospice and he was alone.

alone because the whole family was there the previous night saying their goodbyes.

Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito have been FREED

by dm6 in

i'm not sure how many of you are interested in this or how many of you have been following it, but i have been right from when i first heard about it a few years ago.. they were each sentenced 25 years and 26 years for the murder of british student meredith mercher, but after a dramatic appeal, today, they have had their sentences overturned and have been given an immediate release, because the evidence suggesting that they were guilty was not strong enough to support that verdict.. i always thought them both to be innocent, and this is true justice for the poor girl and guy after being locked up for 4 years for somehting they did not commit, however, it does still leave an unsolved riddle.... who killed meredith mercher if not these two?.

the strange thing is, amanda knox apparently originally claimed she heard screams from meredith and hid in a different room in the house whilst it happened, but that stroy had changed to "i was never there" which is what i think too, given the facts.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3850483/amanda-knox-is-not-guilty-of-killing-meredith-kercher.html.

what are your thoughts?.

"In order to believe the prosecutor you have to believe that this college student with no history of trouble, or involvement with the occult or odd religions suddenly joined a satanic cult and hacked her roommate to death."

She wouldn't be the first person with no criminal history to completely snap and commit a horrific crime....Susan Smith, Andrea Yates, Darlie Routier, John List, Scott Peterson are just a few examples.
