this organization will never again be what it was by 2013-2014. .
they peaked in the form they were, i believe they were already falling apart in ways, but from the outside and to the majority r&f, things likely still seemed on the up and up.
browsing through the boards and just keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening, this organization will never again be what it was.
My cousin who gets invited to my JW sister's home for a meal and can't understand why I don't showed me a photo she took recently. My sister couldn't even be bothered to smile, to even put on a pretence of being happy.
Such a picture of depression, talk about the fire dying. Those still in must know paradise has been postponed indefinitely and they are going to die 'in this system'. It's a different religion to the one I left.
what a shock to hear that news.
her passing so close to that of her daughter dying ?
so, so, sad.. sorry glenster i thought she deserved a thread of her own also..
Belushi told her to slow down. That's saying something.
If you read Carrie Fisher's early autobiography 'Postcards from the Edge' her mother started her on tranquillisers when she was about seven to keep her quiet so she could continue her acting career.
such a sad loss.
she battled bipolar disorder and came back to acting.
then we lost her.
Very sad for Carrie's daughter to lose her mother and grandmother in two days, she's only 24. My thoughts are with the family.
such a sad loss.
she battled bipolar disorder and came back to acting.
then we lost her.
Apart from writing books she was also one of the top script doctors in Hollywood editing many film and tv scripts. She was also a champion of mental health causes having battled bipolar disorder herself.
Her list of film and TV appearance is as long as your arm and much more than Star Wars films. i liked her intelligence and sense of humour.
Your comment below resonated with me ttdtt because in the UK we thought she was okay. I saw that film and got home from the cinema twenty minutes later and my daughter told me she died.
We all heard the news on friday, and saturday morning we had tix for Rogue One.
The last seen was tough to take
such a sad loss.
she battled bipolar disorder and came back to acting.

Such a sad loss. She battled bipolar disorder and came back to acting. Then we lost her. Terrible news.
Thank you that was very interesting. This is what worries me, I don't want to be dying and regretting not trying harder to get my JW family back. I do agree all that we think about at the end is probably family and loved ones, not religion.
there is n o end to human initiative to bring a moments happiness.
i jus received this love and best wishes to ye all.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h965m0hkk5m.

if scriptures are written by people who have no sense of justice, it is natural that god would be misrepresented—something that happened to the biblical god.
to mention a few:.
1) david, murderer of the innocent and faithful, wrote portions of the bible.. 2) paul who set in opposition to genuine apostles who were directly trained by jesus himself sarcastically describing them as “superfine apostles” openly declared in some places that it was not spirit, but he was writing.
You think wondering what the universe is all about is being egotistical? Why? We should just feel humble and small? The masses have been held down for centuries by being told to be humble or else burn in hell, get stuck in purgatory, a lower caste or die at Armageddon blah, blah, blah.
It's been a ploy of religious and political leaders to keep control of people. If God exists why would he want you to be stupid to keep you humble? You can be intelligent, question everything and still not be egotistical. It's about the joy of learning new things, not about saying how clever we are.
