our friend, oompa, has passed away.
just recieved the news a couple of hours ago, and have almost no details.
it happened today or yesterday, he took his own life.
just one more reason I loathe the watctower and its sick, twisted doctrine, pretending to be of God. They have NO CLUE about God. God's Truth drives a man to living, not to his death.
I am numb....speecless, feeling like I lost a part of me.....Oompa....Eric, you meant so much to us here. Gawd. Love you alwyas and forever sir.
there would be no doctors to help us.. there would be no teachers to teach us.. there would be no engneers to build things.. their would be no electricians to electrify things.. there would be no great chefs to masterfully create awesome meals.. there would be no accountants to help keep books balanced.. there would be no vets to help keep our pets healthy.. there would be no chemists to do all the chemistry things that make so many things we use.. there would be no scientists to dazzle us with new discoveries.. there would be no hubble space station, and how could we possible appreciate the glory of god if we couldn't see beyond our nose?.
i bet you can think of lots of things i can't...but you get my drift!!!.
we'd all be sitting around, huddled into our little tight knit bundles of bible study banter rehashing the same old verses day after day, and never ever come to any understanding at all about how grand our world is, how insanely huge this entire universe is and not to mention the other universes besides this one, nor could we grasp what other planets are like without higher education.

what are your favorite urban legends that you heard as a jw?.
here's mine:.
a brother, through his work, was asked to give a speech to the united nations.
Sooo, I want to know about Crystal Blue Persuation.....what is the story behind that song? I love Tommy James and the Shondells!
i need help with a big problem with my sister (jw) who has been removing money from my moms bank account and saving it for her 'needs'.
i am moms poa, and apostate, and she refuses to let me see the account or have access to these funds on the premise i will 'blow every dime' if she does.
mom lives with me for almost three years now.
I hear you Blondie, and I'd never say that to her. I was just thinking 'out loud'!
I received a call from the Elderly Affairs organization this morning--seems this is actually not even a legal matter, but instead they are sendning my information to an Elder Abuse Advocate. I am waiting for more information once he gets updated, and will be talking to him within a day or so.
I'll keep you all updated.

Yes. She did. They called me in the middle of their investigation and I told them I had just recently taken everything over and to call my sister. They did, and they got whatever answers she provided that did in fact qualify Mom for Meeicaid.
Mom is still qualified as far as they know, but I must unravel this, even if it means that money stash gets paid back to Medicaid. I do not want this on my conscvience.

Some very good advice here and I am so grateful! I must clear somehting up though as it seems it got missed and only a few noticed:
I have DPOA. (Duarble Power of Attorney....and it is like Guardianship in FL except Guardianship is determined by courts; mom signed for me since she ahs been living here since April of 2010 and I am her sole caretaker.
I saw into Moms bank accounts for the first time in July . Now sis had told mom and I she was seting some funds aside for emergencies and such, and we had no trouble withh that. Now, since I am POA, she refuses to relinguish those funds which are Moms. Medicaid ruling was based on moms assets and I really don't care if sis gets in trouble for fraud. But I am not keeping secrets! Sis wants to keep that money and is demandning 500.00 a month more to keep going into savings. I am clsoing Moms account. I still need advice on the Medicaid problem sis caused. And the money needs to be returned to Mom. She took it with good intention and now justifies keeping it by stating (a) I will blow it and (b) she wants what is left after moms funeral to divy up among us siblings. Truth is, she is a their. She needs to be stopped.
Her behavior lately is so off the wall! I do not know her any more and I do not want to. She will not step foot in my peaceful home again.
She is a horrible reflection on Christian behavior. She needs help.

NeverKnow and Band On The Run, you both sent invaluable info for which I will spend today digesting and researching. Huge Thanks to both of you.
I realze the JW part might not affect too much, to an attorney, but it does affect things just the same. Sisters are very hard on me.
"Hugz" to all who helped!

Cagefighter, your concise summary statement is excellent! I can normally do that very well, but just seem too emotionally affected by all this -- I have not been able to whittke it down so cleanly. Short, sweet and to the point. Thank you!

Blindnomore, I have contacted Elder Abuse..waiting on callback! Taking so much time I need rersolve so I can focus on taking are of Mom and my home and job. Thanks.
Oh, and as for the police, my sister came over here right after I asked her for access to see those funds. She was really pissed. She told me under no circumstances was I going to get that money (again, I did not ask for it) and she started screaming FUCK YOU in my face and slugged me in the left jaw. I called the police and she is barred from here and cannot even see Mom now unless it's off property.
Sheesh.
