I like the idea of my conciousness rejoining the universal energy grid. Perhaps I can still watch my family, or perhaps I will simply be the breeze that dries their tears.

Why the "worldly" thought of heaven is more comforting than Paradise
by kneehighmiah inone of the worst and best things about waking up is realizing that despite what you've been taught as a child, you are going to die one day.
that was easy for me to handle, as i've had near death medical emerigencies.
the hardest part is the thought of losing your parents.

Happy Anniversary! When Just Ron and I got married, some of our friends were making bets on how long it would last. No one gave us more than 5 years. We've been married for 22 years now, and are still happy and in love. Our JW years in the middle of our marriage were crappy, but we are out and free again!

How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?
by rory-ks ini only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.
it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.
or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

Any advice?
by InChristAlone ini was told a very heartbreaking story last night.
one of my childhood friends adopted two kids from africa several years ago.
these kids have had very severe anger management issues and have been in regular therapy.

I feel sorry for just about everyone else.. even the elder's wife
by ohnightdivine ini've been busy with with being busy after knowing ttatt.
after this sunday's meeting i was invited over by one congregation elder's wife to an afternoon coffee.
we're not very close because of the age gap but we've "known" each other for so many years now, being in the same congregation.. she is like the anchor of the group.

I knew an elder's wife in that situation. They had agreed to not have children, but it was clear that neither of them was happy with that decision later on. I guess it was too late though, she's several years older than me and I'm 43.

I carried it for a while after I left, but I had marked it up as "Void" and thoroughy defaced the elder's contact information who was the secondary POA. I thre it away probably about a year after i left, when I finally felt I was completely off the local dubs' radar.

Are You Comfortable With Who You Now Are?
by minimus inmany jws are misfits and many that were raised as jws find it difficult to be "normal".
are you comfortable with yourself at this point in time?.

for the most part. I never fit in at the hall, and I have friends now who don't get all freaked out over a dirty joke or a swear word. I'm a lot more comfortable in my own skin.

he's in his late 70s and he probably won't survive.

My mom had spent the afternoon at my house. WHen she got home there was a message on the answering machine telling her that her brother had died. I thought that was kind of crappy, instead of putting out the effort to try her cell phone or call me. In all of this, I haven't received a single phone call.

My uncle died on Sunday. His memorial service is being held at one of the Kingdom Halls in Wichita, although his widow did not deign to specify which one. The Circuit Overseer is giving the talk and she seems quite excited about that. I feel really bad for my mom and my aunt, they hadn't seen their brother since 2006 and didn't really get a chance to say goodbye before he died. Neither is able to make the trip to go to the memorial service. I would take them, but my mom said she felt about as welcome as a turd in a punchbowl.
