hi everyone.............i have a very sweet niece, whose husband has almost the same kind of lymphoma that dansk does, and i have been showing her the board's discussion about him and his responses.

she had this idea that i told her i would present to everyone to see what you think.

(doesnt' have to be prayer in the sense we used to think of it, just positive thinking) she is a university of washington educated psychologist, and an ex jw (since she was a young teen) and leans towards buddhism now.. <<i have an idea for people to try that i read about in.

i saw that jt, the ex bethel heavy posted again.

i miss his thoughts.

also leander has some very interesting threads.......who would you enjoy seeing posting more often??

Good to see you posting again, Dave. I can relate to what you have said and I too fell by the wayside for a while for almost exactly the same reasons. This can be a difficult medium through which to convey our true thoughts and sometimes, especially when things get a little personal, they can be easily misconstrued. And I am as guilty of that as anyone.

But hats off to Simon, Angharad and the mods for doing a such great job under what must be very difficult circumstances.

This is about out beloved Dansk

by mouthy in

how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.

the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!

they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

Hi, Ian, you will get through this , I know you will. Please let me know is there is anything at all that I can do. I've sent you a PM, my dear friend.

religion today.

Philip Brumley, Watchtower's general counsel, says his religion cannot alter its beliefs and doubts secular courts will demand this.
"Do you change doctrine because someone feels something is more convenient, even if it's not in harmony with Scripture?" he asks.
But getting two witnesses in a molestation case "just goes off the scale of improbability," Bowen says.

It's a killer.
