my da'ing could be tonight, should i take the opportunity (before they can no longer speak to me ) to tell a few jw's that i am being da'd for telling the truth, or not to bother.

does it matter anyway.

I love it!

Suicide

by Rico El Vato in

my 30-year old daughter committed suicide on 11-13-2004. we had both been jw's who had left the borg.

she had been diagnosed as bipolar.

i did a search from the top of the page to see if this topic has been covered but it did not work.

Rico,

I'm sorry for your family's loss.

I'm glad you are no longer in a high control group.

Welcome to the forum and hope you can find some fellow understanding on what you are going through. The healing/grieving process takes time. Give yourself lots of time.

Hugs,

Joy

ok, 2 more questions.

I also have a knitting machine part velonging to a jw.

1. they have knitting machines? You mean I can throw away all those needles??

2. let the JW ask for it. Remember, it's their sillly rules. (ok, that wasn't a question, sorry)

Carry on, sweetie. You are free.

UN Scandal - does anyone know the reason they joined to start with?

by AK - Jeff in

like most on this board, i know the story, have seen the un press release, ect.

but can someone comment on two questions for me?.

who caught them with their hands in the cookie jar?

After Zev brought this info to our attention here on JWD, I shared it with my JW brother. He said he noticed since the WT withdrew their NGO status that the little "Watching the World" statements about the UN quit. I quess they were using that area of the magazine to "promote" good things about the UN, thus in compliance with their NGO status.

yes, but don't want to wake those memory cells. They are doing quite nicely not bothering me anymore.

BTW, did you know, the songs in the songbook were in Alphabetical order. The first word of the song is what they went by, not the titles. (silly, nonsense, info, but thought you would like to know)

Joy (can't believe I learned piano just to play those silly songs class)

hey (((Shirley)))

long time, gal!

One question........

.goes for the crack

....what do you guys do during your meetings over there???

I understand that man maybe lonely and want association, but I never heard that phrase before.

I don't have an answer for you about talking to your JW/partime/friend but don't we all wake up at our time schedule? You may want to ring her and tell her she's not responsible for whatever announcement the elders give (the elders are). And since you don't recongize the silly authority the WTBTs thinks it has over you, then whatever silly announcement they make is their silly rules.

Anyway, hope all is well with you and your family.

Hugs,

Joy
