  My Left Leg Was Amputated

  by TOTH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been out of commission for several weeks.

  back around the first of the year i developed an infection in my left foot.

  due to diabetes and poor circulation the doctors were unable to save my foot and so i received a below the knee amputation.

  Sorry Toth, to hear about how Diabetes has complicated your life to the extent of losing your leg. I have battled diabetes for many years, and like many who have this illness live in worry about the complications that could happen.

  The prosthetic is the best way to go. I know of some who just gave up, and surrendered into a wheel chair. I know that it's a shock to face the loss of your leg. I remember being in a hospital hallway, and seeing one of my collegues just after it had happened to him. But, he was a fighter, and today you wouldn't know that he walks with a prosthetic.

  Keep a positive attitude. That is the best that you can do.

  We've been watching the series so far. There still are some embellishments to the story, but, over all it wasn't bad.

  An elder called me.

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  an elder who handled the minor matter with my husband a few weeks ago called to see how we were doing.

  this guy genuinely is a gentle, kind, man whom the congregation loves.

  he's the one everyone approaches because he never judges or condescends.

  It is possible to have good shepherds in this Organization, Julia. Some have unfortunately experienced some bad experiences. But, some do try to display the Christlike personality.

  Hmmmm....I usually wait for Blondie (such a jewel) to give her rendition of the WT study before commenting.

  I found the section re. dealing with DF ones hard to deal with. There are many that have children that have aged and never got baptized that have no issue in associating with such ones. But, if someone DA themselves because they feell they can't live with the rules, are banished, and you can't enjoy a simple meal in a restaurant with them. It's all about being loyal to the ORG, not Jehovah but the ORG. The bible doesn't have anything written about it. The Soc is trying to eliminate the "Necessary family Buisness" from there publications as if they are there

  This texting and email thing is just another way that the soc is waging war against those associating with family that are DF'd.

  My chat with an Elder about the UN thing! Help!

  by awakening in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well it was a very long discussion.

  the elder knew nothing about the scandal, but he stated that he had no issue with it since when the case was brought to light, the society acted immediately to right their course.

  in fact he thought it was a sign that that the organisation was indeed the "truth".

  Awakening, the society has already commented on the their website about this NGO thing. They stated in that there are diff types of NGO's and did their spin on it. You know what side this family is going take on this matter don't you? I don't think that you should pursue this matter, since you may not win this battle. You may even cause a barrier with this family.

  Just try to get along.

  Hmmmm.....I'm thinking of matching you with a young lad right now.

  Oh yeah, I should mention that he's italian, 35 years of age, and still lives with his parents.

  One more thing, LouBelle, his parents have to come along on the date, well, maybe not the father, but definetely the mother. If you do get mom's approval, you would also have to agree to living in the same house, or move to the home next to their home.

  Would this be ok LouBelle?

  They read off the names of those auxilliary pioneering; 75% of them don't work &

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  half of that 75% get disability and ssi checks.

  it was kinda funny sitting there listening to them go down the line, name by name, of the ones auxilliary pioneering since the numbers are dropped to 30 hours for march & april.

  as they were doing the names i was saying to myself, "she don't work", "she supposedly can't work", "he hasn't worked in years", "she gets a check", "she's probably gonna lie about the amount of hours she did" etc.. gotta love it.. i don't know if this happens in your congregation or not, but have you ever heard someone remark about someone else behind their back, "she can show up at every gathering, but she can't show up for field service!

  My head is hurting Glander.

  Must be something too hard for to think about on a Friday night.

  Or, it could be the Crown Royale.
