i was in the house with her for all of the last week of her life.
she went quietly and peacefully and had people that cared a lot for her around at the end.
she and dad touched a lot of lives in very positive ways.
Jeff .....so very sorry.
dear fellow janitors/ex-janitors:.
after some nearly 60 years scrubbing away (i started early), whistling a happy tune, i'm turning in my mop and mop bucket.
my body has said, "no more!
Time to take it easy ...well easier at least!
Hope you are feeling OK now.
If you start missing all your old pails & stuff, I have a few of mine I could send you.

after a one year gestation period, as well as an extended labor, i am finally happy to announce the birth of my latest book: escape from paradise.. cigars all around!
like any new parent, i need to get some much needed sleep now.
zzzzzzzz.
Wowzers Brock .......good on ya!
So proud of your tenacity.........glad you took the bull by the horns & produced another one.
If books & stories like yours were on the market when I first woke up, I never would have been still stuck in...thinking it was me, thinking I was to blame for my lack of faith!
Wishing you all the best as always..

i don't want to turn in my token time anymore.
it's only a few hours counting what we do with the kids.
i don't want it counted for their skewed statistics- or to just for the sake of doing it.
All for show ....welcome to jwn.
It is amazing, when I look back, at how fearful I was to stop 'reporting'.
I just phoned 'bookstudy' person & said I wouldn't be handing in hours anymore as I was ill.....and if & when I do......I will call him !
I nevr did call.
Maybe you could just stick a watchtower mag in back window of your car & count the time it actually rides around with you. I hear a few pioneers do that ......ha hah..
all the best

tell us a little about yourself and your family.
got myself in at age 13. one day i saw a leaflet on my door about babylon the great condemned by god and thats all it took.
i mailed a letter to the congregation listed on the flyer requesting a book study.
Hello Village glad you joined us, great to have you here.
Oh ya that feeling of betrayal when finding out that it was all lies, was awful........ still angry about it too.
Life does go on and it does get better & much more real & fulfilling.
You have a good life ahead of you my friend ......don't waste a second more of it.

well, i made comments on a couple of post already, but i guess i should somehow introduce myself.
i choose the user name to hopefully try and identify my past while working for future changes in myself.
ive been in and out since i was a kid.
Hello ...welcome to jwn, hang in there because it is a roller coaster ride for sure!
One step at a time .....no Armageddon to worry about now.
wishing you all the best

with all the jehovah's witnesses child abuse scandals being reported on by the media around the world at the moment what were the governing body of jehovah's witnesses thinking?.

The problem that I have with it, is that, it will accustom a jw child to the game of 'taking off clothes', an activity that a paedophlile could zero in on!
As a child, my paper dolls were not promoted by a cult who has many child abusers in it as well as a 'two witness' rule!
