More Advice

by bazackward in

well i posted before and got some good advice, so i thought i'd give it another go and see what happens.. to quickly explain the situtaion: my grandma is a jw with two daughters -- my aunt (who is a jw) and my mom (who is not a jw but grew up as one).

my aunt is one of those people who reads a website like webmd and thinks she knows more than any medical doctor.

this concerns my grandma and she talked to my mom about making an appointment with an attorney to set up my mom with power of attorney.

truthlover

So sorry to hear of what is going on... I dont know what it is with mothers, cause I had a dilly.. but they seem to favor one over the other and especially since the other, in your case, is a JW.. more trustworthy, more reliable, more knowledgable, and on and on...

If your mom will take financial matters over for your gram, tell her to look into it before hand (talk to the income tax dept, etc) cause if and when something happens to gran, your mom will be responsible for monies owing AFTER she dies i.e. Income tax, IRA, etc. and if there are no monies left to pay bills, your mom would be liable to pay them...and perhaps it would be better if the lawyer took care of this end of the business.. as far as the medical end, your gran can do up a living will as per her wishes and no one can dispute what she really wanted.... the elders would have nothing to do with this.... .. this way your mom would not be upset and tell her not to be.... people (relatives) do strange things when it comes to making decisions based on health and money issues...

Day 3 of district convention, anyone here have any notes on it??

by insearchoftruth in

wife is at it right now, was wondering if any of you have any ideas or thougths on what is being discussed.

i have heard about the drama and have read blondie's wt review for today, but what about the rest of the 'spiritual food'..

truthlover

gone over again in the WT today -- but they were really pushing obedience.... loyalty ....... setting up for something... dont know what..

there are so many issues now that maybe they are going to come out with a new direction.... my head just swims when I think of it

Blondies take on the WT is a good one

How Many Are Watching the Jackson Memorial Now?

by cabasilas in

jw

it's on msnbc right now.....

truthlover

I watched it all, and then watched the after math of interviews, Larry King Live, etc.. he was a unique individual and I was surprised when the Guiness book of Records listed him as giving , I think it was, $4 hundred million to charities to make the world a better place... all who knew him said he was loving and kind.. I do believe the molestation cases were a money grab - for as many said on the forum, wouldnt you rather see someone like that in prision rather than take $20 million??

Side note - they ran a pict of two caskets going into the mortuary, one silver and one gold -- I believe he was buried when the memorial ceremony ( in the silver one ) was taking place -this would deflect the public's attention as to where and when he was buried. A Canadian announcer did say the herse left the Staples Centre empty..

Interesting Words from LaToya Jackson

by jamiebowers in

article posted on jws:.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/07/michael_jackson.html scroll down to readers comments and see quotes from latoya's book (#29).

credit posting to:http://www.jwsupportforum.com/index.php?topic=6677.0.

truthlover

When Latoya wrote this tell all book she was under the influence of her abusive husband - completely controlled by him, she dabbled in phsyic, card reading, fortune telling, etc.. he was not a member of the Jackson family and they really disliked him - she eventually broke away and went back to the family, who accepted her , Katherine even getting on the tv to support her.. so it makes one wonder if all she said was truthful, yet some of what she said does have her perspective, cant be all bad if Rebbie is still in, most anyone who dealt with Mrs jackson speaks very highly of her - she cant keep her guard up all the time unless she is genuine

This book was written years ago
