  For Smiddy: Cool and Damp

  gosh, smiddy, it's nice to have a request for poetry!.

  "the black oaks" describes where i live in the california sierra foothills; we are, for the most part, above the fog and below the snow.

  nevertheless, we do get both occasionally.

  today is the four year anniversary of the last time i set foot in a kingdom hall.

  it was the day of the kool-aid issue of the wt!

  “at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  Hi jp,

  Was that your last day because of the article or was it a building up of other things?

  Either way, congratulations for improving your life by leaving!

  Wasnt it Daniel who was in service to the king (or some high up government official) and he had to go with that person to his religious services?

  Seems I remember this all coming up in relation to a JW who had to take their person they were a "carer" for to church and the answer was - it was ok and the point of reference was the Daniel thing above,

  so why wouldnt that work in reverse?

  Of course, this is the JWs and they change the rules as they go so I am probably posing a rhetorical question.

  Getting rid of the JW "carers" is probably the best for him although given his situation, change is very hard to go through.

  If he is going to have carers, it will be such a relief to him if they simply do the work they do with no religious guilt and overtones attached.

  I really feel for you and your brother Pale. This is hard and I know you feel love and protectiveness towards him.

  It is most likely that his life is going to be far better once this all gets sorted.

  Goodbye my friends.

  for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

  i never regretted this and never will.

  unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

  Stephane,

  I admire your knowing what you want next. Change is never easy but is necessary at times.

  My wish for you is that you find what works for you personally.

  And..may this be a soft place to land if you ever need us.

  All the best to you going forward.

  Hi GW1,

  If this is a 12 year relationship and he is drinking heavily then you need the right tools to carve out some changes.

  Isnt that what God would want you to do? Have you heard the saying "God helps those who help themselves"?

  People can help some with ideas also.

  Here is a good idea for you because I would like to help you.

  Go to Al-anon

  http://al-anon.org/

  They will give you the tools you need.

  After you attend a meeting, people will be able to help you even more. I wish you much success.

  Hi Flipper!

  I realize the points about his morals mentioned above. I think he was a visionary and a great orator in addition.

  I came across a MLK quote I had not seen before. I thought you might like it.

  Loyalty.....the new buzzword promoted by the watchtower Bible and tract society

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  loyalty appears to be the buzzword constantly promoted by the gb at the moment.

  we hear it at conventions, assemblies, and meetings.. let's face it loyalty covers so much.

  shunning of family, friends etc.

  Whether the translation is "kindness" or "mercy" the thought is still similar and is not diluted.

  Using the word loyalty changes the entire thought and meaning, shame on them.

  Doesnt this man know that he believes that God created man naked?

  So why is it disrespecting that same God to wear form fitting pants?
