... old people!
yeah, i know, as pete kaye would say: "old people, you can't beat 'em .... pity".. but seriously, where else would you have a bunch or 17 year old lads chatting with some 80+ year old guy?.
i remember some of the old people in our old kh and they were genuinely nice people.
AgeUK have a befriending sevice where you can visit elderly people, many who say they haven't had a visit from family for over a month. I'd rather volunteer to do that than go to a KH.
Older people are great. I've taught Internet and iPad use to many in my job and they're lovely to talk to, very grateful for help. If libraries close in my county and I get chucked out of my job in April 2018 I might work or volunteer to help the elderly.
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.
