last night about 12:00 we got a phone call from my step-daughter, she is in blacksburg, va visiting her husband who is working there for a few weeks.
she takes the kids and stays a few days with him at the motel.
her daughter was watching emily for a few minutes and was riding her on her neck when her hands slipped and she fell backwards onto the cement from her shoulders, she hit her head and was knocked out.

shaving was a pagan egyptian/greek custom.. should true christians practise this custom?.
Actually, I wax.

evidence is growing that the society now recognizes the grave.
danger of holding on to the blood doctrine and is quickly trying.
to 'fade it to black'.. it is likely that most witnesses will passively go along with this.
I believe the shunning and the cover-up of abuse will take them down. Let's face it - they will never give up shunning. And if they admit to the cover-up of abuse, they are facing major lawsuits.
I also believe that the 'underground' the JWs have set up for kidnapping those being forced to take blood transfusions could be brought out further. It's sinister.

Searchin - I can read typos No worries hon. The only thing you really need to remember is that to type in capital letters is considered shouting in cyberland.
I look forward to getting to know you. Keep posting!

i am sorry i have been away, yes i have been posting, but i have not been replying to e-mail the way i should be, long distance is disconnected now, so i don't have the means to call any of you anymore.... so i wanted to say i am sorry i have not stayed in touch.... now, somthing else i wanted to say.... .
you have been here for me through the best of times and the worst.
been here for 1 year posting now (august 3rd,) and i must say this last 12 months has been mind bending for me.
Amanda - Sweetheart, we all understand. I know what you mean, although our experiences are different - my phone is presently cut off and I have been negligent with my emails. Life happens when you breathe.
We are just super happy that you are still here. You are a wonderful lady, mom, person.
Keep posting hon.
hugs, Mimilly

in early march of this year, in the echoes of uncertainty left after the horror of 9-11, just one year after i had nearly died myself from a massive, still unexplained, seizure, i determined that i wanted to be a writer.
there were so many things i wanted to write about, my head swirled with possibilities.
one topic kept coming front and center, unavoidably.
((((((((((((((((((((mikepence and family)))))))))))))))))))))
I have been on both sides of the coin, having been abused and then helping my step-son deal with the abuse he suffered at the hands of his former step-mother. We did take him for therapy, and I educated my girls on what to do if (horror) this happened to them. It took me years of therapy, and I know my step-son may still need it to some degree.
My email is open Mike. I'm short on funds, but every bit helps right? Your wife is more than welcome to email me. I deal with serious health issues from all the abuse I went through, and a severe case of mono.
I'm proud of you for your writing on this heartbreaking subject. I would love to read your articles. I have started a book, but right now it's too hard to return to it.
Please tell your children how proud we are of them and how strong they are for telling. I hope that bastard gets everything he deserves. If there's one thing I've learned from an early age - it's that if someone gets away with abuse - they will not stop.
lotsa hugs and sunbeams being sent your way,
Mimilly/Salem
well, i've reached my goal of 2000+ posts and have decided to move on.
i've never felt that i've contributed much here, anyway, and since my background is not jw, it's easy to see why some here see me as an interloper and trespasser.
i may look in from time to time and (to be polite) be involved in threads i've started, but i need to get a life outside this board.
Enjoy your retirement there Stephanus... and do drop in often.
(((((((((((((((((Stephanus))))))))))))))))))))))

just like a lot of people on this board,every once in a while i take a break from this nuthouse we call cyber home,jw.com.
i usually know it`s time to take a break from this place when i start argueing with the board crazies and expect normal responses from them(lol)so whats your que,to take a break from jw.com?
When I'm getting absolutley NOTHING done around the house! Hmmm.... house IS kinda messy - ahh who cares... it'll take all of one hour to clean up.
Seriously though, I take short breaks when I feel depression creeping in, like after Dateline. That show brought back a flood for me, and it was quite awhile beforeI could even read the Panarama stuff.
Also, I take a breather when there is too much arguing going on. (a debate is fine - I just loathe arguments for arguments sake)
I love this place. I'll never leave. PS: Viv posted my two best friends on her thread 'Pussys flying around. (pg3) I know... a shameless plug - but Diego and Tjiske are worth the look Between this wonderful cyber home and these two doggie kindred spirits, I am able to face the world.
hugs to all,
Mimilly
