A few good men
Ben Hur
he was an interesting presence on this board.
he had integral knowledge about bethel and the like.
i am an emotional guy too so i can kind of relate to why he left.. but, you gotta get thick skin on the forum.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[DAN]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] I am so glad you came back to speak to us, so sorry you have been through a rough time, will be continuing to pray for you your wife and family,

part 1 - my parents.
it's a funny thing, time.
notwithstanding einstein's relativity, time means vastly different things throughout life.
Farkel you write so well, I look forward to your next installment, thanks for sharing this with us.

Ziddy the way you put yourself out for BD shows what a kind and thoughtful person you are, I am so sorry this happened and I really hope that there is a good explanation for this, if not then as Loz said this is really unacceptable.
It is always difficult to trust people on the forum and we always want to give the benefit of the doubt and not judge. I still pray for Brother Dan and hope everything is Ok with him and his family.

i've already written "my story".
i've been "out" for 35 years.
but that is not a story that contains the little stuff.
I would love to hear your story Farkel, and I don't care how long it is, the longer the better. I think everyones story is worth telling because it is part of the recovery for all of us, we can all relate somehow. Other peoples experiences growing up in the borg or being enticed into it at some time in their lives, have helped put my own into perspective.
When I was lurking many stories shocked me, amazed me and made me realise that so many things that we experienced were happening worldwide in watchtower world.

ali is home and undergoing further treatment for congestive heart failure.
she has a bi-ventricular pacemaker and a defibrilator (sp?
) they believe the heart failure was caused by a virus that damaged the heart muscle.
Thank you for giving us an update on your lovely daughter Ali, she has been through so much, how awful that she was misdiagnosed, I can't imagin how terrible this has all been for you and your family. She is obviously strong minded girl and is determined to get better, it sounds like you are taking every option possible to get her better and strong again.
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and celebrate the fact that she pulled through and can think of a future together, Ali has you, a lovely mum to look after and support her. I wish you all the best and Ali a full recovery I am sending you love and best wishes and continue praying for her.

only earth wind and sky last forever they say.
the grim reaper has a debt he wishes me to pay.
i fear not death, for he is not a proud entity.
Just seen this post recovering, I am so sorry you are having to go through this, reading through the posts I was very moved and I thought how brave you are to keep this from your family over christmas and how painful that would be for you, then I got to your post about the news good news you recieved, when you do tell your family they will be fighting with you and help give you the strength to fight this with you.
I will be praying for you and your family sending you love and best wishes, please keep us posted.
