How lovely to have some good news must have been a scary time for you Rob and syl, nows the time to get your health back on track and eat foods that will boost your immune system, and how about a nice vacation with some sunshine, you both need some pampering.

I will pray for you both Love and Hugs xxxx

re-enforcing the shunning of immediate family - WT 7-15-11

by undercover in

july 15th wt study edition (regular dumb edition, not the dumber one).

god's rest - have you entered into it?.

subheading, when someone we love leaves jehovah.

RosePetal

Wow JW GonBad that left me speachless, this is one of the most un Christian acts I have ever heard of, the whole point of Christianity and Jesus sacrifice and giving His life for us was so that all come to repentance and have sins forgiven. They have lost the whole point of what communion with the Lord is all about. Restoration for all, forgiveness for all, they need to go back to the Word of God and learn about Jesus all over again because they so obviously have not grasped what the Gospel is all about, and that is because they do not have the Holy Spirit,

They are fulfilling Jesus words 'Woe to you, teachers of the law and pharasees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Matthew 23 v 13 NIV

Another one bites the dust

i texted a fader in our hall, she suddenly stopped coming to the meetings a few months ago (i must admit it took me a few months to notice as i'm rarely there myself).

in part, this is what she said:.

hi mickey, thank you for your message it's nice to know that you care x i'm doing well, mentally emotionally and physically i'm feeling much better and stronger.

RosePetal

When we were JW's we were living for the ORG [GB] and their pharisaical laws, rules and regulations, putting heavy unessesary burdens and loads on us.

i feel under the weather...

by Snowboarder in

jw
friends

hey what's up?

well i feel under the weather don't know how to put it in words.

where to start?

RosePetal

Hi Snowboarder, I am sorry you have been having such a hard time, and that you feel so unhappy, the fact that you feel unhappy and as you said are crying inside could meen you are suffering depression, try and visit your doctor for a check up and tell him/her about it. You need support, try and find somebody that you can talk to and confide in that you trust.

There has been good advice so far I would just like to add that you are still young and have your life ahead of you, don't give up your dreams and what you would like to achieve. Talk to your parents and let them know you feel burnt out and need a break from pioneering to recover your mental energy as it sounds like the pressure is getting too much. They may have no idea just what a struggle you are having.

You still have a very positive outlook, don't stop believing in yourself and that you can achieve the goals you have. So many on this board would love to go back to your age knowing the truth about the ORG. and are trying to retrieve what they have lost.

I wish you well, don't give up. RosePetal

my last update on my daughter was so good...but it didn't turn out that way.

she was cleared to go back to work, but with limitations... she couldn't lift more than 10 pounds.

her employer wanted her back but wouldn't agree to the lifting restriction.

RosePetal

I am so sorry to hear this Coffee, my family and I will be praying for you and your daughter to make a full recovery and that the operation goes well, I pray that the Lord will give you both the strength to fight on.

Love and best wishes to you and your beautifull daughter Ali RosePetal
