ok, if you're a canuck, chances you know that gordon lightfoot is about right up there with ol' jehover!.

but if not, nevermind, but i have to admit, i have been a lifelong fan of: gordon lightfoot.. this evening, i took his 'greatest hits' and gave it a listen, and as expected, i was still enthralled with his lyrical genius, and playing abilities.. anyone a gordon lightfoot fan?.

just curious.. all your folks living along north america's "great lakes" keep in mind, next month is the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the "edmund fitzgerald".. that song, by gordon lightfoot is haunting from beginning to end (over 6 minutes).. i personally love: go-go girl in love, bitter green, canadian railway trilogy, sundown, race among the ruins, wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, and well i like just about every damn thing he ever did.. your contributions?

Anyone Here Lost Their Inheritance To The WT?

i have.. i hadn't even realised it until i had a conversation with my brother last summer.

our dad was a proffesional man who could command a good income whilst he worked.

trouble is, that he would listen to all the 1975 "end of the system" nonesense and then become motivated to serve where the need was great.

Are Parents Who Shun Their Children At Risk?
by Englishman in

who looks after the welfare of ageing witness parents who have disfellowshipped children?

are these df'd children (actually, some of these df'd children are in their 60's) meant to ignore being ignored and then care physically for their non speaking parents?

also, can df'ing your own children lead to witness parents suffering illness or even death as a result?.

i was going through an old file folder a few days ago and came across this letter i wrote to our old congregation regarding renovations that had been proposed.

at the time, i was very upset with the way the proposals were steam-rollered through (i think the sentiment comes across nicely in my letter lol).

has anything like this ever happened elsewhere??

if you haven't already related to us the experiences at bethel that you told to your mom-in-law, (or even if you already have told us) could you tell us about what you told her.....and...what is "g-jobbing" (sorry for my naivity) .

i didn't want to take away from sl post about his mother but i thought a little insight into the world of the bethelites would be interesting this am.
