this is just an update on an earlier post about jw youth dies in car crash.

long story short, he was killed when his car struck a pole because he fell asleep at the wheel.

his father had recently kicked him out of the house (he was only 18) becuase he was missing meetings.

I am saddened by the young persons death. For the most part I see the down side of the witnesses and their lack of caring and compassion and I have had my fair share of it. But on a certain day back in 1975 I died three times on an operating table. This operation was an emergency operation and prior to the ambulance coming to my home my now ex husband called our presiding overseer, When we arrived at the hospital and when I became critical the PO arrived at the hospital and stayed by my side the whole time until they rolled me into surgery. He even prayed holding my hand and he was truly sincere and caring. He stayed until three o'clock in the morning. This is the one and only time I can honestly say that an example of love was shown to me. At others times when I was ill and in the hospital no one from the congregation came to see me. My mom came once with my sister. This was my starting point in making up my mind that their was no longer any love or caring left within in the organization.

sorry if i keep coming back to this but i need clarification.. can i be df if i am doing certain activities ie.

birthdays, holidays, attending another church?

I was disfellowshipped in absentia, I respectfully refused to go to the commitee meetings that the judicial meetings but I wrote a letter explaining my reseans why I refused. Then they sent me another letter and I sent them another letter saying I explained in my first letter my position in the first letter why I wasn't going to attend and then two weeks later I was disfellowshipped. At no time was I rude in any of my letters I was respectful. That was nearly three yrs ago and not one of them has contacted me and they all know where I live..Not even for the memorial.

ok this is my 2000th post.

i've got no idea if it has a new title or not, or if anyone gives a sh*t, but i just want to say what a wonderful 2000 it's been.

well, i don't know if it's been wonderful for you judging by the nature of posts such as this, but it certainly has been a most 'upbuilding' experience for me at least.

Anghaard, thanks for the web site.

Dave I like you love cats and kitty kats, my favourite times are when my kittens were born. There is nothing more beautiful then watching baby kitties coming into this world. My beautiful girl Jessie was a fantastic mom to hers. She would actually tell me it was her time. She would not go into the closet until I would go down on to the floor with her and stay the whole time until the kittens were born. Inbetween babies she would meow and talk to me as if I understood her. After the kittens were born she would have the them nestled into her tites and I couldn't help but cry at seeing such a beautiful site and hearing those little piggys trying to suckle milk. I use to watch them for hours, when they were sleepinng and when the were eating. They were wonderful. And then the beauty of watching them grow up to be so cute and adorable and plain old nasty with their little claws, ouch! I saw Jessie through six litters and then she was fixed, she had her limit. She was a great mom and the fantastic thing about it, is that she would never have her kittens without me being present. It was a delight I shall never ever forget. I miss you Jessie. You were the Queen.

i stood for the national anthem last night for the first time, from a sitting position.

when i was still in the cult, if i knew the anthem was going to be played, i would find a way to be standing right before it would play.

however, last night, at my son's football game, i stood up from a sitting position.
