  my dad died

  dear everyone, my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the weekend.he did'nt turn up for a family dinner and my husband and i went to see if he was ok.he was dead.collapsed in his home.i can't stop shaking and i feel really sick.i've lost my mum and now my dad too.i wish i could sleep for months and wake when the pain has finished with me.

  it hurts so much .sorry to bring everyone down-but i'm stressed at having to sort out his arrangements due to the autopsy and funeral etc and the house and my feelings.

  ; i just wanted to tell you all as my husband's gone for a walk and the children are asleep and i'm feeling scared about viewing his body, but i know i'll have to and i feel guilty for feeling like that.stupid thoughts racing through my mind at the moment-need to 'hear' a friendly voice .

  Latest Watctower: Don't Assume You Go To Heaven

  by minimus in

  says that if you think you're going to heaven, think again!

  you're probably either emotional because a mate or close friend died, or on medication, or are looking for special recognition, because of bible knowledge.so don't even think about it!!

  thanks for posting this.

  i just read that article this afternoon, and was struck by its seemingly shameless attempt to discourage people from taking the emblems.

  i really think they are running scared of the (n)ever dwindling supply of annointed ones.

  still its a good laugh, and works very well as eother emergency loo role, or draft excluder!

  take care

  my mom totally shuns my sister.

  she has for the last 10+ years.

  even though my mom treats my sister like she is dead she has always been given access to the grandkids.

  my sister just moved into my home with her four children.

  sadly her marriage has not worked out, and i felt it was the very least i could do to help her.. she is waiting for public housing, and i remembered an old witness freind who worked for the government department who did that.

  so like a fool i decided to see him.

  Hi everyone

  My sister just moved into my home with her four children. Sadly her marriage has not worked out, and i felt it was the very least i could do to help her.

  She is waiting for public housing, and i remembered an old witness freind who worked for the government department who did that. So like a fool i decided to see him. We havent seen eachother for a few years, but i allways asked about him to mutual freinds, ans sent my love.

  Well it seems he has left the cult as well, but when i called on him to ask his advice, he refused me, and told me to go. I brought his kids sweets, but he wouldnt take them either!!!

  I have never been treated so unpleasantly, by anyone, and we were once freinds.

  It really seems to me that whether you are still a witness or have left the whole thing f,,ks you up too badly to recover. I n future i am keeping away from everyone, and only bothering with people worth the trouble.

  Not all Pedophiles are Men

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just feel sick to my stomach.

  a close friend of mine (no longer in the borg) just called me bawling her eyes out, because she just found out through her brother (also no longer in the borg) that her nephews have been sexually molested by his ex-wife's half-brother, "bert" for the last 4 years.

  if that's not bad enough, his stinking, lousy whore of an ex, knew this was going on, and did absolutely nothing.

  hi

  my old cong had (to my knowledge) three peadophiles. O ne was a woman and served time for it, she would still be inside had her accuser (her daughter) not died suddenly!

  I am sitting next to a pedophile!

  by BeelzeDub in

  2. friends

  a co-worker who sits across the isle from me was recently arrested for molesting a 10 year old girl.

  my employer has let him come back to work since he has not been convicted yet.

  the rest of the staff were notified by management to not talk to this guy about anything non work related.. it is really going to be hard not so say something to this slug.. what would you do if you had to sit next to a pedophile at work?

  hi

  funnily enough i ws in a similar position.

  Shortly after the jw child abuse show aired on british tv, 

  i gave a lift to an elderly witness.

  We chatted for a few minutes before he remembered that in an apostate!! 

  he then ignored me, and got out of my car without thanking me.

  The NEXT WEEK he was reproved, and is awaiting charges for child abuse in the past!

  Funny how jws can think that an apostate is worse than an abuser!!

  A DAMM FINE IDEA

  by josephus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just re-reading coc by ray franz, and had an idea.

  as a jw i was allways concerned when the number of annointed went up in the yearly report, so this year why dont we all find halls that dont know us (if we are shy) and partake.. thousands of "new annointed" would put the shits up the society!, and the brothers!

  please tell me what you think as im quite excited anout this idea.. .
