  Ironically, since fading, I no longer entertain thoughts about topping myself. I personally believe this life is all you get. Better make the best of it then.

  DOC, my aunt is not a JW. All my aunt's family & extended family are RC. Sorry I didn't make this clear. It seems as if the message has been added anonymously. And if it is another form of witnessing, then it's up there with letter sending & counting time IMHO.

  Hi,

  I just wanted to vent, nothing more. My aunt died in Edinburgh last week. Her Obituary facilitates adding candles & personal messages. On her page is a message of deepest symathy with 2 scriptures that could've come right out of the Reasoning Book under the subject of death. Now I know I'm only speculating here, but it's a gut feeling, and being a faded JW it kind of leaps off the page at me.

  Has anyone else knowledge of this type of informal witnessing. If it is what I think it is. It just grates my carrot :÷(

  this is a true story.

  it's about a sister named henriette venema.

  she was a very loyal jw.

  Such a sad ending to a life. What a beautiful child she was. Condolences to you on losing your dear friend.

  As for TED, he doesn't deserve a comment.

  not one but four witnesses at my door

  having not had a witness knock on my door since i left over 13 years ago i was surprised a few sunday mornings ago to find two young sisters who i had not seen before at my door.

  it was not long before their husbands who were witnessing at my neighbors joined the conversation.

  the conversation went on for some time so i am keeping the experience as brief as i can.. mind you with all what has been happening lately with the australian royal commission here in australia i had been looking forward to having a discussion with any witness who comes within earshot.

  Once again the perpetrator was known to the police! I listened to the continual updates on the radio throught the night. Quite a few of those who phoned in during the broadcast suggested " Internment " for all who fit a certain profile to be determined by security agencies. It was tried & failed in Northern Ireland by the British Govt. during the seventies.

  Sadest consequence to me was a young French couple who'd lost their 8mnth. old baby, believed to have been killed in the carnage.

  So we could quite possibly continue in a type of limbo for up to 10yrs.

  People are already adjusting personal budgets incase of hard times ahead, thus contributing to a self-fulfilling prophecy of a recession.

  David Cameron on resigning Friday morning looked destroyed. What a different beast strutting around Brussels yesterday.

  Dream team to save the west announced on LBC late last night.

  Merkel, most powerful leader in the EU. May for new UK Prime Minister. Clinton, US President. Sturgeon, most powerful UK political party leader at the moment. La Garde, leader of the IMF & I don't know who she is, but a female for Clinton's running mate. Thus shattering the glass ceiling politically. Stear the global economy sensibly, negating strutting around the world's political stage spraying testosterone & egoes into a difficult time in history.
