my own life has taken some twists and turns i did not expect or like ... and i have to focus all my attention now on getting my badly needed open-heart surgery or face death in about six months ... so in the next couple of days, i am making the last of three posts for a while ... then all my efforts will be aimed at getting better, and facing some issues in my life and making the best decisions possible for me and my family.

i decided to limit many activities because i tend to do too much and neglect some things that i should not ... this is not a good-bye post, but more of a long vacation post.

Jim,

You're in our prayers and we look forward to seeing you in the future. At least let the Board know what hospital you will be in and the dates etc.

Looking forward to the three parts.

Your friend,

Birthdays and Holidays

by larc in

jw
friends

we all know the witness position of this subject.

i think they simply do not understand human nature.

they say that birthdays make a person self centered and egotistical.

Outaservice

Hi Larc,

You got my address. Would appreciate a Christmas present and my birthday is June 19th. Don't forget!

Of course, I'll reciprocate.

You're right on about your comments but the Society would like to ruin anything that brings families together. They want to be the center of everything. They had no problem with an AWAKE article back in 1974 (?) announcing their 100th birthday with an article entitled '100 YEARS AND STRONGER THAN EVER'!

Yep, the 'glory days' are about over.

Getting a body out of Mexico

by Dawn in

friends

strange subject line isn't it?!

well - this is a bizzarre situation.

my died in mexico a few weeks ago - he had dual citizenship (american & mexican) and had moved down to cabo about a year ago.

Outaservice

Well Dawn, not knowing all the details, if I were in your shoes, I think I would hire the best Spanish speaking lawyer I could find. Sometimes a language barrier is the problem or local customs/cultural things play into the equation too.
