  I went with my daughter today to the hospital as she had to have some tests done.
  

  On a shelf was a Gideon Bible. It had some of their history in the front pages. It seems they are a group of christians from different religions that spread the word about God. They also distribute bibles to various places to help others learn about God.

  So I turn to Psalm 83:18 and sure enough..their it was.."Jehovah's" name.

  I showed my daughter and she snaps back..so that proves the witnesses are right?

  I just stared at her. She was raised a witness and we left when she was in her late teens.
  
  
  So do you think she deep down still wonders?

  She sure got me wondering..her family now are all active Catholic.

  Do any of you that were raised in the religion still have deep down doubts as to it's truthfullness?

  My Wife Just Called Me...

  she found an envelope with my name and "personal & confidential" typed on it taped to the door of our apartment.

  i asked her to open it and read it, and evidently there is some evidence of apostacy that they want to review with me this saturday (4-21-06) at 7:30 pm.. the funny thing is that i have not been to a meeting since 1993, the last time i was at a circuit assembly or district convention was 1995!

  i know that i have been spotted going to my church (3 blocks from the king-dumb hell).

  If you go you are showing they still control you to some degree.

  If you write a letter of dissasociation..you are showing they still control you to some degree.

  They are making the rules and any consideration you give replying to them shows they are still controlling you to some extent.

  Otherwise you would disregard the letter and move on with your life.

  They are not God's representatives as they claim. They are not the police..although they think they have some kind of power..

  They are not your parents..why would anyone think they even have to answer to them?

  Mind control..you still feel under their control..just like they want you.

  The only way to show them they have NO control is to ignore them..like the ordinary people they are. Give them NO control...

  Daily Text with comments from my crazy mom

  do not be loving either the world or the things in the world.

  if we find delight in jehovahs word, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of ones means of life will lose much of their allure.

  To think I used to be one of those Moms...

  Talking about the Daily Text..when my hubby was dying from cancer..a "Brother" came up to lift his spirits...(One of two visits)

  The text for the day was about "A woman's menstral cycle"...now hubby could hardly talk as he was pretty weak by then..but if he could he would have screamed for him to shut up!..

  Course the old "Brother" wouldn't have heard him..he was almost deaf and probably 80 at least.They sent the best to my dying

  JW hubby.

  They couldn't spare any one else..they were redoing the assembly hall for a CO visit...I guess he wasn't "Elite" enough...can you tell I'm bitter?

  Snoozy...who used to make her kids listen to the daily text and go outside and think about it..yeah sure they did..not!

  JH..I'm sorry but is your Mom still around?

  I just lost my hubby at age 63 from cancer. His was in his lung and spread to his liver..by the time they caught it it was way to late. They just gave him chemo to shrink the tumor in his lung and it worked.(And help kill the pain) But the liver was too far gone to process the chemo needed to kill the tumors in it.He was diagnosed in Sept. and died in Feb.(3 Years ago.)

  And Happy Dad..I had the same experience with my parents..I was so cruel to them..I was a witness almost 20 years and refused to celebrate birthdays or holidays with them. It was really hard on them because my kids were their only grandkids.

  I too got to spend some time with my parents after I left the religion. But it was too little too late.

  I feel like both my parents and my family were robbed of precious time!..

  JH..I hope they caught your Dad's in time. Hubby's liver was so full of tumors they just shook their heads and sent him home to die.

  I don't know if giving him chemo was the right thing to do but we were desparate for a miracle.

  People say at least he was an older person who lead a good life..but a loved one dying hurts no matter what age they are...you never have them with you long enough..

  Hugs..Snoozy

  Family Funeral

  by jws in

  my uncle died this morning.

  it wasn't so much of a surprise.

  he's past 80, has been in a nursing home the past few months, and has lost most of his memory, even forgetting who his wife was at times.

  My non JW mom passed away and my JW in -laws came . It was held in the mortuary in a chapel but there was a pastor that gave a sermon. It was beautiful. When he said stand to pray..they kept sitting .

  But afterwards all my JW in-laws did was ridicule the service. How ignorant was that?
  My Mom had just died and that was all they could talk about?

  Sometimes it is a blessing if they do not attend..

  At my daughters wedding held in a church they sat towards the front and whispered to each other all through the wedding.Even snickering at times.

  We are supposed to show them respect for their religion and make allowances for them..but they sure can't keep their mouth shut if they don't like something..

  I had my JW hubby's memorial in a K.H.I thought it was the coldest and most horrible talk I ever heard. If I didn't know the witnesses and it wasn't my hubby's memorial..I would have walked out!

  So much different than my Mom's funeral talk.

  That's so great Lady Lee. I always wanted to learn sign language but never knew anyone that could help me. I signed up for a course at the community college but couldn't make it to the classes.

  I hope the dear lady isn't a witness anymore..think of all you could share with her now.

  You could introduce them to us..

  Hope all goes well for you and let us know what goes on..good or bad.

  Snoozy Q...

  ps..and good for you helping the ones that needed it. I had the same situation. I didn't work so a lot of the witnesses called on me for help. Sometimes I felt abused but I knew in my heart I had to do it. My hubby objected too.But I remember doing some sick sisters laundry at midnight a lot of times or I would be doing my housework till all hours of the night so I wouldn't give him any reason to complain..but he did anyway.. Even tho my house was spotless!..(Well almost)
