Why? She had other stuff on her plate. That book wasn't going anywhere. Her husband is gone forever.

Crooked Teeth
by Introvert 2 inwell 55 yo this summer times flies.. was in my late thirties when i started thinking about getting braces or some other treatment for my crowded teeth.
decided to put it off a few years later as 'the new system' ™ was right around the corner.
then went through a huge burn out depression and my teeth became a lesser priority.

My son had too much teeth for his jaw and ortho removed two for braces. Gorgeous! My bro in law actually needed his jaw realigned with some surgery. Again, very good results. He had a badly shaped jaw and he went from looking kind of awkward to quite handsome. Too be sure, he always was cuter than he thought. Don't shortchange yourself.

I would consult with a couple of dentists who can do both kinds of things, go in with no expectations and consult with them about options, expectations, pros and cons for you.
Generally, if teeth and gums have enough health, preserving teeth is prioritized as a overall health concern. Your dentist could tell you better than us yahoos.

My dad RIP
by ScottyRex inmy dad died 2 weeks ago on sunday.
i will miss him so much.
he was the funniest most greatest man i have ever known.. granted for the first 30 years i wasnt that much keen on him and i don't think he was on me much either.....let me explain.. mum and dad met in 1964, mum was the prettiest girl in the town, mini skirts, raised hair, the daintiest figure, she looked the spit of audrey hepburn at breakfast at tiffanys.

Scott, my condolences to you and your family.
Even when our family relationships are complicated, we are usually still bound to them with love, even when we have tough histories underlying it.
Losing a parent is hard. I'm sorry for your loss.

Is My Wife Awakening?
by My Name is of No Consequence inevery now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.
i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.
for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.

Della, that is it. You are exactly right, along with others here. I think that is the least damaging and kindest approach with an otherwise intelligent person who is giving out clues that they are waking up. It's also the least likely to get the validator into conflict with anyone or to ruin a fade.

I agree with Simon in this case.
BTW, I remember the original CoC wasn't cheap and few non formulaic books are super cheap simply because they are e-books. Schlock is free or cheap. Whatever the opinions about Dykstras timing, it isn't schlock!
Terry Walstrom is selling his ebook for 9.99. So is Lloyd John cedars. We should get kindle unlimited if we want to borrow them for free. I love ebooks, but I'd want that one as a hardcopy, personally. Novels and some memoirs can be e books,but I don't like reference material that I want to keep in that format.

conversation with a JW about the sun
by neat blue dog injw: didn't we just hear somebody say that the sun's gonna blow up?.
me: well, they were saying that it will expand and eventually burn out.. jw: but it can't do that, it just keeps blowing up inside and getting more power.. me: well, they were talking about stars in general, how they have a life span.. jw: but god didn't make it that way, it's firmly established to time indefinite.
it's not like the sun is a regular star.

Time indefinite contrasted with eternity for me at a young age. I knew what indefinite was! I always had my bred in indoctrination vying with my curiosity about what the bible actual said and What we knew about how the world worked. It never added up. It always required magical thinking and that was a whole conundrum in itself.

You are better looking, but I can see why they were mistaken.
Your daughter is lovely. I hope you enjoyed your free coffee!

I saw a lot of naysayers in recent years. I felt Mrs. Dykstra was a woman of integrity and I am pleased to be right (about something!)

Blood Card Issue
by pometerre21 ini posted this on r/exjw, but i thought i might post it here as well.
so the elders in our kh are moving to get us to sign new simplified blood cards and keep them on file.
i really need to not rock the boat in my current pimo status because of circumstances.. my cousin knows i have doubts about the blood thing, but i can’t show her that my doubts are getting to me.

Remember that your last will and testament is simply the most recent one available. I would not put ANY thing in writing in the hope that a later one will be available. In a crisis, they aren't going to do a thorough investigation to find your latest blood card. This is only likely to be an issue in a critical medical situation when you can't speak for yourself. Don't leave anything on file that you don't agree with.
