My wife's Grandfather has 3-6 months to live.....His humorous outlook

by drewcoul in

my wife's 93 year old grandfather was just diagnosed with leukemia.

he and his wife go to a non denominational christian church.

when the doctor told him that he needed chemotherapy, he just said to the doctor, "i don't need any of that!

I have always shared the same outlook as your wife's grandfather. Maybe that's why I didn't fit in as a JW.

Good for him to enjoy his last days rather than fear them.

Do you believe in an annointed class?

by irondork in

regarless of their identity - in fact, if they are really "discreet" their identity should probably remain unknown - do you believe the bible speaks of a spirit annointed class of folks, a limited number of humans that have been called to heaven to serve with jesus?.

This last post sounds twisted you could be labelled an apostate.

Thanks for your support JWN!!! Dad dies monday, JW family goes to convention on thursday

by Coffee House Girl in

jw
friends

coffee shop guy directed me to his thread...thank you so much everyone for your thoughts of support, it means a lot to have people who understand and show genuine sympathy.

here's my experience so far.... my father dies monday night & my brother (nonjw) calls me to come home, when i arrive my father is still sitting on the couch- all the jw family is sitting in a semi-circle around him, my non jw brother is standing in the next room.

no one is crying, no one is talking.

Sorry for you loss. I'm glad you & your brother gave him his due respect. Your hearts should always be at peace knowing you displayed true love.

I know many of you are not religious but I am spiritual. And I know that God called me & I was born again. 1 John 2:27 says the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything... The anointing did teach me. It gave me the strength to question everything and find others like me. God knows I need people and I found you here and others from my past to lean on. Also the confidence I have gained in myself is unexplainable except for the words the truth shall set you free.

I love you guys..

Thanks Frank. You have a point about the letter but what's done is done. I will bite my tongue more I don't want to lose Richard. I will display the quiet & mild spirit hoping for him to be won without a word.

Godrulz thank you. I'm using other translations and researching online for any questions but that WT pull is strong. The literature is all over my home.

Free thank you. I'm browsing pictures looking at all my friends but I'm reminding myself how fragile the ties are. Sure we're smiling and hugging but that's only as long as we think alike. Their kind of love is like walking on eggshells.

This was a big week for me. I've been riding the momentum wave but now I feel like I'm washed up on the shore. I let them back in my head. I scanned thru the upcoming WT studies and thought what have I done. The two readjustment calls I had the brothers kept saying don't be like Eve. Don't give into the temptation to partake of what is forbidden(meaning apostate materials & such).They also said to be patient leave matters in Jehovah's hand. Pray for patience & a calm mind. The study articles are about this very thing. I actually asked myself are they right? Is the problem with me. Am I like Satan proud & haughty pushing ahead relying on myself not God & his organization. I'm upset I have to fight these thoughts. I want the confidence I've had all week.

Help remind me Satan provides his people food at the right time. The articles that seem so timely and arrive when needed is of a source other than God right? It's Satan, it's the GB paranoia they can't be guided by God.

What I'm going thru is normal right? Just a moment of frailty.

Operation Rescue Is On...

by discreetslave in

my leaving is a big deal.

my family was considered the perfect jw family.

we had "friends" say the family on the cover of the new brochure listen to god reminds them of us.

Public School is not an option right now. Homeschooling is big here, the public schools in my county offer resources for homeschoolers.There are all kinds of activities and programs throughout the state. I just need a non-JW group to replace the previous one. Unless my husband doesn't allow this my kids will have two sets of friends to offer them a balance.

Pre-planning family activities is key we've always been fly by the seat of our pants kind. That won't work now.
