SBF you're the only one who seems to be going on and on about this man who is not at all well. He's having problems dressing himself. That would make anyone emotional, being reduced to the manual dexterity of a two-year-old. I am just so disappointed in the lack of compassion some have shown on this thread. -

Apathy trolley chat
by punkofnice ini was in a different city this weekend so i decided to natter to 2 bored jws on the apathy trolley.i just nattered, nothing thought provoking or anti witness.
i was waiting for someone so hard time to spare.what struck me was, that no matter how many times i said that i don't believe in god, they spoke to me as if i did.
they kept asking me how god would feel about stuff.

Seems weird they just kept asking you about God after you repeatedly said you didn't believe in him. We were taught to switch straight away to ask why they didn't believe in God and we were able to discuss why God allows suffering, evolution or whatever they said. These guys don't seem to have any training at all do they? I don't think the GB want to recruit anyone except thickies now. They have enough income now, the club's closed. -

My cat died suddenly!
by Fisherman ini did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.
i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.
so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.

Fisherman I'm so sorry, that sounds really traumatic. I am a cat lover, I have four cats. When my last cat died it was very sad because she kept losing weight and the vet kept treating her for worms but it was liver disease and she could have lived out her life just taking tablets every day if we had known. She was a beautiful Russian Blue. She got me through leaving that cult, saved my sanity. I do feel so sad for your loss and totally understand your sorrow. ๐ -

How Important to You Is Being Married Or Staying Single?
by minimus ini have friends that pretty much need to be in a relationship.
if they aren't with somebody, they are miserable.
if they are in a relationship, they are unhappy.. do you feel that you need to be n a relationship or are you content to be single..

Since having the single life forced on me I've realised that all relationships are a trade off between what you want and what the other person wants. Loneliness is always a factor of course. If the loneliness is very painful I can understand someone wanting to hook up with a new partner. For myself the loneliness in not too bad, most days, and I kinda like doing exactly what I want :) I'm not sure I want to give it up now. -

This is an interesting site Baker with hundreds of NDEs. I started researching it when to my surprise I found a book about it in a second-hand bookshop after we Da'ed. I still don't believe in God or anything supernatural but I don't like to ignore any evidence even if it doesn't fit. That would be confirmation bias. Look for evidence that they saw or heard real-world events during the experience that can be confirmed afterwards.

DA: Today I used my typewriter and fountain pen
by Mandrake inlast week my mother (i live with her) gave me some clues that she finally awoke, and well, that came to be true and we now speak openly against many many things i considered taboo to talk to her.
so with that achieved, it was time for a delayed duty, i took my typewriter one wrote my da letter, and signed it with my favorite fountain pen, with my "trade mark" royal blue ink (everyone in the hall knew me for using that color and type of pen).
i will hand it to the elders tomorrow, in february 14th, the "day of love".

Date of the memorial please.
by Xanthippe inmy non-jw cousin says my sister and her husband are visiting her more often.
my sister even put her arms around her the other day and said she loved her.
i would like to think it's because my cousin lost her husband last march and her daughter has terminal cancer but i think they might be love bombing and working up to a memorial invitation.

Hate being this cynical but I am used to speaking with my cousin on the phone and she almost always at some point says have you heard from (your sister). This even though she knows I never hear from her! She knows I am shunned but she, like any normal person, just reacts like a family member would. She's normally the one chasing my sister for a conversation you see. I just wonder if they are zeroing in because she is very vulnerable at the moment.
So I would like to give her a heads up about the approaching memorial. She won't go, that's not a problem, I just want her to be aware. They visited her at Xmas and said oh what a lovely tree and oh we don't mind Xmas decorations at all! She struggles to believe me when I say what the religion does to people. Who wouldn't. I told her people get thrown out of the religion because of celebrating Xmas but she likes having family around even if she knows they are weird.
So it's at the end of March sometime?
