I have a question too Ray: Have you gotten any feed back from the Borg about these recordings? I am sorry to say that I cannot watch them all because of the time restrictions given by internet service provider, but what I did see was captivating.

This is his mom posting. I want and have encouraged him to get the education he needs to make his dream come true. Not having had direction in my own life at his age, believing goals were wrong to have, as armageddon was upon us, therefore 'worldly' goals were futile, as was 'resistance'. We have had financial discussions and he is banking his cash, preparing for his big move. I love you, sweetie.

Cuebert-Welcome. What a sad thing, to have the mementos of someone so special, seized and destroyed by a mad woman. Sidenote: my parent thought that I had demon problems (undiagnosed OCD and depression) too, they went through my possessions and got rid of anything that might be making me have my problems...but it wasn't done in a fit of anger, rather it was misdirected concern.

Do these people realize the effect shunning has on the outsiders?
by jam inthis past week my sister called and ask if i knew my oldest.
daughter was in town.
she lives in a different state (1500 miles).. my sister was invited to a baby shower (my nephew baby).. now get this, my ex (jw) and her husband when they are in town.

jam-what a sad situation. I feel so very sorry for you and your family. It is ridiculous what JW's do, and justify, in the name of 'keeping the congregation clean'. I'm sorry that you have had this come up and hurt you all over again.

Quendi-So very, very kind of you to reach out to him. He probably hasn't had a stimulating conversation regarding religion in years. About his wanting to be reinstated: As humans, we often long for things we no longer have, we remember the good old days, even if they were quite difficult. People pine for their lost teen years and/or salad days. Maybe that is what he is doing, rather than remembering the tedious meetings, the boring talks, getting ready to go the meetings and driving to the KH regardless of the weather. He's probably forgotten th chore that field service was, and only remembers the coffee, donuts.

They love jehovah's money in pensylvania

I'm sure Reading does love the money. Plus, the people attending have been instructed to be on their best behavior. When attending there about 6 years ago, we (the JW's) were advised we could not use the parking garages on Friday. We had to find parking on the street. Sovereign Center is in a run down barrio neighborhood. We had to park between 3/4 - 1 mile away and hoof it carrying toddlers, bookbags, lunch, cushions, sweaters and various other misc. We were afraid our car would be stolen by the time we got back in the evening. We had to pass by lots of young people hanging around and looking scary. Nary a word of English could be heard spoken by the locals. Our car was intact, however, my feet were not, after walking in heels on the concrete sidewalks all that distance, packed down like a mule.
