i'm not sure how to put this news gently to the community here, but regarding my post yesterday regarding chantelle.. thankyou for all of your kind messages and warmth displayed on your parts.. chantelle was only 16 when disfellowshipped.
only 18 years old with her whole life in front of her.
she took her own life this morning at 0400hrs.. i am so sorry not to have been in a better position to get your letters to her in time.. take care all of you & kindest regards.
Sword of Jah. you sound as if you dislike us, because we oppose the WTS. Just take a good look at what it has done to the lives of many us. Don't suppose to act as a judge until you've walked in our shoes. But of course you can't walk in the shoes of a deceased person. So I recommend you shut the hell up and buzz off.
PS. You like yourself don't you, your handle indicates that.

My heart is breaking inside out Celtic, yesterday when I read the post I was wondering how could parents do this to their sweet girl, what kind of people are they? Cold stones. Rotton to the core. My body ached for her and then that dear lady Adele taking her in to her home and caring and loving her what a hero. And now this sweet child all mixed up inside her very being couldn't take it anymore the only way she sees any relieve from her agony in spite of Adele's love is to take her own life. Her suffering is to great and no one understands.The torture in her mind and heart was to great for her. Please take my pain away. And so she did. What a tragic waste. How sad and I am crying for her. Dear Adele, you are the kindest sweetest dear lady and you did all that you could and may God bless you for this. And Celtic Mark you are a knight in shinning armour! Bless you. (((((((((Hugs ))))))))))))))

the question was this: "if someone committs suicide, would it be advisable for a christain minister to give the funeral talk?
" ((((((((((((me barfing already here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))))))))))).
here are some sick , literally made me feel my blood pressure about to explode , remarks:.
I hear you Lyin Eyes, So sorry your dear mom committed suicide. It must break your heart. And yes I agree 100 percent with you, when a person commits suicide they are in a state of mental illness, and the Society is so full of you know what, how dare they act as judge and jury against these persons. What happened to Matthew 7:1. They haven't one once of commpassion for a family that has lost a family memeber do to suicide. They don't know what leads a person to this. Maybe they are responsible. The strain of being a JW is more then some people can handle, it makes some people neurotics. Literallly. Statistically doctors have proven that there is a high incidence of mental and emotional illness among Jehovah's Witnesses.
Then there are those who have mental illness from tramas in live or schizophrenia, or manic depression, or bi-polar disorders all of which are not their fault, it is something that happens due to chemical imbalances in the human brain and receptors. How dare the WTS set themselves up as God to judge these dear people. Yes like you Lyin Eyes I am enraged . Will they ever wake up and smell the smoke.
I doubt it very much.
Love and hugs and kisses to you Lyin Eyes

the watchtower claims that witnesses love each other - and that this love marks them.
as being the true religion.. nonsense!.
witnesses love each other?.
yes going to a convention and getting a seat was like watching bulls running into a matador. It was pathetic, like a regular stampede. And everyone seemed to think that the end seat was theirs. Love Love Love!! Barf Barf Barf!! At the Kingdom Hall brothers always took the outside seat as if it had their names inscribed upon them. Heaven help it if a sister took the spot. And then being assigned a student talk with sister so and so, oh I don't want her as my house holder, she always messes up and doesn't have any feelings when she talks, I would rather have that other sister who is great on the platform. Now what excuse can I give to that other sister. Love Love Love. Gee I don't want to work with that person in the service, I can't stand their personality yada yada yada!! That elder thinks he is so high and mighty, why just last week I saw him and his family at that movie that the Watchtower said was not good for Christians to see. How disgusting. She wears mini skirts at school and at the KH she dresses completely different. What a little hypocrite. I saw all those teenagers at a club in Toronto at a Rave and their conduct was disgusting and they have the nerve to tell everyone that they are JWs and they preach from door to door. And they snitched on a brother for smoking at school. what a bunch of rats. sure they love each other. Did you hear the latest gossip, brother and sister so and so almost made out in the van on the weekend and someone saw them and now its all over the Hall and there may be a disfellowshipping. Love love love. A brother is bringing lobster and shrimps from Newfoundland and he has invited the uppercrust of the congregation and doesn't want the others in the hall to know, in fact he has invited some from Bethel and my sister and her husband got invited but I am mush, and poor, and so I got no invite, Yes Love, Barf it sickens me to no end....Their little secrets their little rich cliques, there abandoning of those not so fortunate. Elders and their secrets and their wives and their little sneaky groups. Families fighting, Friends becoming ememies because of businesses. The list is endless. Didn't Jesus say that a house divided against itself will not stand. Well guess what their house is falling down. And its happening real fast.

those of you who have close witness family members -- how hard has it been not to just throw up your hands and just return to the society, just for appearance's sake?
my parents, whom i love very much, are witnesses, and it's very difficult for me to go day to day knowing that i'm completely letting them down.
i no longer believe anything the society says, but oh how tempting it would be to just go back and fake my way through, knowing that i could give my parents peace.
I feel your frustration friend, I have had those same feelings myself. It is a difficult sometimes to know what to do. I have a mother and three other sisters whom I love, but as three years have passed since my disfellowshipping they have made no attempt to speak to me about anything, not even to ask me to return, I thought if my mother really loved me as much as she said she did or my sisters for that matter it might have made a difference, perhaps,but all I see is a stern cold stubborn mother a cold sister with whom I saw briefy about three wks ago and she just looked at me an ignored me. Other JWs who are not my family have spoken to me. So I figure this friend I thought my family loved me, but I was wrong and so I have had to go on with my live with my new husband who is wonderful and I have a great son. I have a beautiful step daughter who calls me mom, five step grandsons. and I have the worlds greatest friend on this earth, BigFloppyDog. We have been friends for a long long time. You have to decide friend what is more important now in your life. Is it your sanity can you play this game and not dissappoint your self and and live a lie. You would be cheating yourself and your mom and dad. It could destroy you and them mentally and emotionlly. Before you make your choice speak to someone you can trust and see what they have go to say. You can listen to the friends in here. We are here for you. Many of us will have perhaps different opinions. But in the end the choice will be yours.
I wish you peace, as this is no easy matter to decide.
Love, Orangefatcat.
hey all!
me, elsewhere, jesika and her sister spent about four hours today at a busy intersection (the same intersection where jesika did the press conference, right in front of the k.h.!
) and passed out flyers to everyone at the light!
So did you bring mint jelly with you ?? Ah never mind. Those JWs wouldn't appreciate it anyway.
Way to go you brave soldiers. I would love to have been there with you guys. I plan on lamb basting the kingdom hall in my town on the 27th too. The KH is on a highway so having flyers to hand out is impossible.
I can hardly wait to see the reprecutions that will result in the march next week in Brooklin. Go Lambs Go Rams !!!!!!!
