as for a few others here, i know the reachout trust in the uk played a part in my mental journey away from the jws.
i get the reachout newsletter by email and the last few mentioned that they are scaling back their operations because of financial shortfall and that doug is no longer taking a wage.
i also wonder whether mike and ann thomas are no longer associated with the reachout trust because i can't find mention of them anywhere of the website.
Dougs comment about " not being religious" really couldn't be further from the truth as I have first hand testimonies from friends who dared disagree with Doug on small doctrinal issues,
I have no experience of them at all and wasn't going to comment, but the latter part of point 1 and points 2 and 3 did seem to contradict the first part of point 1 ........
my son is nearing completion of his 3-1/2 year chemo journey.
i have an appointment with his primary oncologist at the end of next month as an end of treatment exit meeting.
she and her team are leads at this particular hospital.
Landy they already think that of me since I was an active jw with all its baggage when my son first went into the hospital. I have nowhere to go but up from here.Well, now's your chance to show them that you're over it and in the land of the normal person. Launching in to lengthy discourses about blood management will make him think you're lurching from one crazy opinion to another.

Don't start giving 'presentations' to a doctor - he'll just think you're a sandwich short of a picnic.
Just thank him and go and enjoy life with your son. I can absolutely guarantee that's all he expects of you.
hey ya'll!
i have been lurking for years on this site and others but never had the courage to post anything.
actually i was afraid of posting on an apostate site in the event i was wrong.
SW - I haven't read the rest of the thread so may be repeating others but just thank them very kindly for their offer of a meeting but you're ok at the moment. Tell them you know where they are if you need them.
Don't get drawn in to debate, express doubts, challenge doctrine or any of that shit. Just keep your head down and your mouth shut and they'll stop bothering you.
They need a reason to form a JC - don't give them one.
Good luck!
if a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.
if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.
servers seem a bit slow recently?.
I think it only happens to users that simon's applied the miserable user hack to.

>>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.
) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.
3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.
I guarantee every elder ms and gb member has wanked at least once

yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.
i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.
I say the evidence points to the fact that life will not develop from inanimate matter. This leads to the conclusion that life began via creation.
Someone the other day wanted a god of the gaps example.
You won't get a better one than the above.
i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.
i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.
there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

personally i have the same viewpoint of darwin, when he said : " the safest conclusion seems to me to be that the whole subject is beyond the scope of man's intellect".
i'm not trying to convince anyone about the existence or non existence of god.. rather, i encourage everyone to keep seeking.
keep searching for the truth that makes the most sense to them.. darwin is the grand father of evolution, and his findings and life work, did not make of him an atheist.
