I'm so sorry that happened to you, lriddle80. They really do over-glorify that organization and deminish the very people who make it work. Peace and love to you and your family.

My Wife's Father Passed Away
by TOTH inwell, the day finally arrived.
everyone says we were expecting it...but, not really.
my wife's dad passed away.. he suffered for many years and we were at odds about medications and intrusiveness, but he was just a man in great pain, desperate for relief.

Thanks, Found Sheep. I agree. No one was allowed to speak and none of his favorite music was played. I know THAT is typical at the kh, but even back at the house, his neglectful and abusive in life widdow forbade ANY music to be played. So, my wife and I are planning a dinner and inviting all of his family AND worldy friends over and we will play HIS music. A couple of his musical cohorts will be here to give him the send off that he asked for and was denied by that woman.

He suffered for many years and we were at odds about medications and intrusiveness, but he was just a man in great pain, desperate for relief. His suffering is finally at an end and he will be missed greatly.
I had not been inside a kh in years and had gotten used to living life and dealing with "WORLDLY PEOPLE" on a day to day basis. I had forgotten just how listless and cold the jw memorial services can be. My god, they spent a few minutes talking about the theocratic accomplishments of her dad then BANG they ran full bore into a wt infomrcial. Very little about the man himself.
The passing of her father has been heartbreaking to my wife. Please keep her and the family in your prayers and thoughts.
Thanks for listening.

Hello everyone. I have been out of commission for several weeks. Back around the first of the year I developed an infection in my left foot. Due to diabetes and poor circulation the doctors were unable to save my foot and so I received a below the knee amputation. It has been a struggle but I am finally going to be fitted with a prosthesis next week and I will be on my feet and back to it soon.
I am wondering if there are any other amputees here on the board that may be willing to share their experiences with me so I can have an idea of how things may go as time progresses. An exchange of information may benefit all who participate.

What does perfection mean?
by speargrass55 ini was reading the thread about inheriting condemnation from adam and eve.
i would like your opinion on what was before that.
we all know the earth is hundreds of millions of years old.
-
TOTH
My take would be that it's just man that is condemned.
Some jw's think perfection is some ridiculously blissfull state of being too. Never stub your toe, never cough or sneeze. Dumbasses...

My son's heart is broken
by ruderedhead ini'm sure someone here has experienced this before.
please help me help my son.
his wife of 15 months told him last night that she needs her space, that what she wanted 1 year ago isn't the same as what she wants now.

This too will pass. I can say as one who's heart has been broken several times that he will be fine.

If you use two spaces between sentences . . .
by compound complex insome of our writers do the above.
is it automatic formatting on your computer or do you do it deliberately?
i am interested in the whys and wherefores of how you write.

I was taught to do it in my 7th grade typing class back in 1975.
