so, i found out a friend of mines cousin overdosed on drugs the other.
its absolutely awful.
i got a text from my mom this morning that said her friend who lives across the street from them said they had an overdose across the street.
I'm really sorry your friends cousin died.
Your Mom sounds exactly like mine.
And lots of JWs if you think about it. They make snarky comments about Worldlies. Who aren't up to their standard. Then turn around and tout their superior Christ-like qualities. <puke>
Your Mom is no different than many of our Mom's. Mine included.

1) i think it's ridiculous to tell anyone when and how to use something they paid for ( computers and internet service ).
2) i think it's ridiculous to tell married couples how to act in the bedroom.
3) i think it's ridiculous to tell people what kinda cars they should buy ( 4 door for fieldservice ).
That anyone stays in this repressive cult.
That women stay in subjection to their men.
That men think handling a microphone is an honor.
That people think that they are never going to have to brush or floss their teeth in the New System. (think about it)
so this weekend my wife had a major grand mal seizure for the first time in her life.
she was rushed to the er.
a few hours later while i was at her side she had another major one.. it was the scariest moment in my life.
Sorry for you Dan. I am more sorry for your wife. I hope she recovers. You will, her prognosis is not assured. Hugs to you both.
i wrote here about my daughter ali's severe heart failure.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/203661/1/update-on-ali-my-daughter.
it has been a few months since the whole nightmare began.. today her cardiologist released her to return to work.
she starts in 2 weeks.
Wonderful news CB!! Hugs to you all.
i am a college trying to maintain good grades.college is stressful especially this year.have any of you who are still in college, or went to college found it to be difficult in any way shape or form?.for me i am worried about finding a good career after i graduate.since the job market is still slow.. thanks.
d.
If you're a freshman in the true sense of the word, meaning 18 years-old, I wouldn't worry so much about the job market in your given career. I would worry about getting the best grades you can and staying off of Facebook. Meaning don't post anything you don't want your future employer to find in a background search. No beer drinking, no naked pics, no stories of drugs. No stupid sh%t you wouldn't tell them about. Facebook and every other social networking site will be looked at by every company doing a background search. Any, and everything you post is fair game.
I would try to get a part-time job. Even serving coffee. Internships, volunteer, etc. Anything to show an employeer that you are willing to be a team-player and you work well with other people and are willing to do crap as well as your given *career*.
If your career is engineering, you have a much better chance of getting a job than if it is in, oh, say Art Appreciation.
College can and should be fun. However, if it is too much fun, you'll be there for 5 years which not only adds to the cost but puts your career on hold. Plus, you are there to learn not party. (speaking from experience. )
i'm wondering whether hlc members have "report interesting cases to the society" as part of their duties.. there is a typical jw chain email going around right now about a blood doctrine victim in kansas named shay brooks.
the email is written in such borg writing department style that i suspect it wasn't started by an actual friend of the victim's family but rather by writers at bethel, who then leak the story out into the email grapevine of jws, letting it take on a life of its own.. a little digging confirms that a 13 year old boy by the name of shay brooks died in january in wichita, ks, usa, and the online obituary comments show that he was indeed a jw kid who "died faithful" to the borg.. but there are comments in the circulating email that make me suspicious about the veracity of the details surrounding this poor kid's experience.
one thing it says is that he went to the hospital with a nosebleed and was diagnosed with "the kind of leukemia that only gives you a matter of days.
I am curious why JWs don't run Obits in the local newspapers?
I know for sure that no one in my family has ever had an Obit run when they died. They were all JWs. The only way one knew they died was the Legacy.com thing.
This is the one for Shay Brooks. The notes people have left, from all over the US, are telling.

the youtube video below is a 'best of' compilation from a british tv show called 'the scheme'.
i'm told it's like a scottish version of 'jersey shore'.
White trash?
These could be my relatives. Just with different accents. Oh, and they are skinnier. I couldn't understand a word the girl in the black bikini said. Her words were unintelligible. Most of them were unintelligible.
I'm sure someone will come up with the next Jersey Shore:
Hooterville Hell?
in one of his masterful pieces on the through a darkened pane thread, compound complex made the following observation:.
boys typically break the rules, do as they please to offend authority and cast aside all well-intended parental dominion.
after witnessing the childhood and adolescence of my two g'sons, i agree with him wholeheartedly.. do you?.
You never met my sister.
She, as a child, did all she could to offend all parental authority. Her stated MO, as she recently confessed to me, was to make their lives a living hell. Why? Just because. She got into fights (physical) with other girls. Fist fights. Knock down, fist fights. She got expelled her senior year of HS.
Brain chemistry? Personality disorder? Take your pick.
I have met other women like her and will never understand them. Ever.
