Watching me type frightens those who know how (my Ex had to look away when I was typing). It's a multi-finger seek and stab, using three fingers on my right hand and two on the left. My speed isn't extraordinary, but faster than most can hunt-and-peck. Accuracy--well, that's another story--backspace is my friend!

I doubt that Witnesses are even aware that today is World Blood Donor Day. It would be a good "local needs" topic for tonight's meeting!

This past weekend I lost my mom

the cancer finally got to her and now my sisters and i are left without our mother.

we take comfort only in knowing that she is no longer in pain.

how do people move on from such a massive loss?.

GLTirebiter

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Lola. What helped when our mom died was the mutual support of my brothers and sisters. Be good to your sisters, and let time ease the pain, until only fond memories remain.

My dad wont make it too much longer, advise/experiences needed

hello all at jwn,.

so my mom called to tell me that my dad wont be able to come back home, he has been on kidney dialysis (along with having congestive heart failure and diabetes and dimentia...) but now he is breaking down and will have to be admitted to a hospice center for the remainder of his time left (without dialysis wont be two weeks).

most of you know my situation, faded (not dfd or dad) but most of my family treats me like i am disfellowshipped except my mom and she keeps getting warnings from elders to cut off dealings with me- my dad is inactive but as head of the household he demands that i be able to visit and take care of mom and dad (so my mom must be submissive to his wishes).

I see Jamie's point. And since your dad's not really lucid and has already met CSG, that tips the scale in favor of not risking a confrontation. I'm glad you and your brother have each other for mutual support.

the only thing I want is to honor and respect my father and be there as a daughter for both of my parents- the rest of them can leave me alone

That's the right thing to do, and I hope they show the decency to leave you in peace.

Religious Reform

by Maze in

as a bible based organization, how do feel jehovah's organization should be reformed?

the answer is quite simple in christendoms churches:.

1. reject false doctrines like the trinity and 'all christians go to heaven' and use of images in worship.. .

GLTirebiter

you don't qualify as his “sister.” You stopped being a family member when you turned your back on the Truth.

That, Maze, is the difference between you and us. You say rejecting non-Witness family members is a noble and appropriate thing to do, while we see it as a cold-hearted act of revenge.

My children may be Witnesses, but they will always be my children, and I will always love them. It saddens me that the Watchtower teaches them to do otherwise.
