Hi,
I live in South Ogden. Went to the North Ogden hall for about 6 mths(1990), then we moved to the Central KH(91-95). Then we were asked to go to the Clearfield KH(which is in Layton) because it needed help. It will always need help. They immediately hated us, because they DIDN'T want to be helped.
I just changed from aol to msn and I'm not getting my e-mails for some reason. My e-mail is :
Hopefully I can get this thing working soon. Keep trying and maybe you can get through.

recently i was watching a documentary on this woman who claimed that she could heal people with the power of her mind.
the documentary went into interviewing people about their experiences, and many of them actually had medical signs of improvement that could be documented and shown.
while watching this, i was seeing it as a example of psychic energy healing someone?
Kenpro,
The other day I gave you the wrong info for MERPATI PUTIH. Here it is again:
Sorry, I'm blonde. Feel free to call Mike, he'd love to talk to you.

i went from the jw's and got heavy into martial arts.
i have a black belt in kenpo karate, tkd, and kenjitsu and also hold ranks in jujitsu and other lower ranks in other systems.
i learned ages ago it is nothing evil like witnesses said it was, and have actually trained a few ex-jw's in my time.
Kenpro,
Martial arts.....playing with the demons, according to the WTS.
Our intire family of 4, have been taking a class, which deals with developing your on inner power. It really works. Saturday, Sept.28, 2000, we took our 6 month test. Out of 25 people, 15 of us had what it takes to continue. My hubby was in a wreck in 2/2001 and this class has helped him emmensely. I have memory problems since 2000 because of an auto accident and it has helped me to realize I had more problems than I realized. My son had his appendix out about 3 weeks ago and was able to run the 5 miles for our test......with ease. He ran it in 42:40. He was only outdone by one guy by 5 seconds. He returned to work a week after his surgery(not full capacity, but still working). Antoher young man (JW, not DFD yet) has had asthma all his life, been to the hospital too many times to count, almost dying so many times, no longer has any problems.
MERPATI PUTHI USA
This is the first time that Merpati Putih has been taught outside of Indonessia. The instructors have been involved with other martial arts for over 9 years and have competed nationally. One of our instructors, could hardly walk when he was introduced to MP. You can't tell he ever sufferred from his competetive martial arts.

For our test I broke 3 thick tiles standing up on the end. with no pain at all, then I broke two more tiles laying vetical, this is after the 5 mile run. If you hurt yourself we were shown a move that you can heal the engery yourself. These guys really only wanted to train blind people, by building your inner energy you can develop VIBER VISION. The blind can actually feel the closness of objects surrounding them......no more dogs to lead the way.
This is true, we've seen it in action and it is awesome. We were told if you are a hunter you prabably will not want to kill anything again, because you feel their energy diminish. I don't even want to kill spiders.
When we leave class after we have built inner power the lights on the streets are so bright and their clarity is so awesome. It has been a GREAT move for our family.
Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to all of you out there that think dad made us perfectly i'm here to say you're wrong.
humans (and those of us who used to be human) have the most idiotic body part ever imagined called an appendix.
you can be going along just like everything is normal and next thing you know you're being wheeled off to the operating room to have your appendix taken out.
Sorry about the 'bout you're going through with your appendix. On Aug. 30, I posted MY SON HAD HIS APPENCIX OUT. hE'S HAVING A TOUGH GO OF IT. hE CAN'T LIFT ANYTHING OVER 10 LBS. FOR 6 WEEKS. That means he can't work. We do auto body work and he does most of the physical work. So I'm going in for him so he can pay his bills, and he was helping us because my hubby was injured in an accident. He had a case of "I can't poop', that really put him in terrible pain. The meds cause you to get constipated and puts quite a bit of pressure on the surgical spot.
So I know you are in for a rough ride, but once it's out, you never have to worry about it again.
Feeling sorry for your pain. ouchie, ouchie, ouchi ouuuuuuuu.

i was just wondering, do you procrastinate?
well, i was going to write about this 6 months ago, and i finally got around to it.
yes, i procrastinate all the time.
Sorta, I've been 'putting of' going to the KH meetings since Oct.2000. Yeah, and I'm going to start reading ALL the lifesaving publications by the society... tomorrow. Oh, and I'm going to confess to the elders/GB that I've been on this board and turn all you wonderful people over to them,... tomorrow. Well, maybe not tomorrow,... maybe next week,... well maybe not next week..urr, ahh.........well, maybe next year..........or maybe next something...
Oh, what the heck!!! As, Scarlett O'Hara says...........tomorrow is another day!
Wished I'd procrastinated when they got ready to dunked me under the water in July, 1985, at the Myriad in Oklahoma.

tuesday was a rough, tough day for my son, bryce,(19 yrs old).
not to mention us parents.
he was in bad shape folks.
Tuesday was a rough, tough day for my son, Bryce,(19 yrs old). Not to mention us parents. He was in bad shape folks. They were concerned at one point that it could be something else. The appendix was bad. I was going to sleep in his room with him. My Hubby thought I was being over protective. You know, the JW thing, don't leave them alone they might give him blood. But, it's just a Mom thing. About 1:30 a.m. the nurse came in and people started scrambling. I woke up in a panic.His blood pressure was over 200. They got it down to 199/98. They were getting ready to call in his surgeon,(another doctor was there) then it started to drop,but still high. I never went back to sleep, I sat there all night long with my eyes glued to the BP machine and him. I was so scared and didn't know what to do.Meds and pain will make a persons BP rise, but not like this and especially for his age.Did I mention I was scared sh*#less! It was still high around10:30 a.m. His surgeon was wonderful and was extremely concerned. She had an echo-cardiagram done on his heart, had an ultra sound done on his kidneys and kept checking on him. He couldn't urinate until today. He wanted to come home because he was starving, he wanted real food.
He's home now and doing really well. He can't work for 6 weeks. He's not suppose to lift anything over 10 lbs. My hubby was in a car accident over a year ago and we lost everthing and he's been working in our business trying to keep us going. He's so upset because he can't work and help his Dad. He's been a real champ through all this. I go to work with Ben tomorrow to keep things going. Yikes.
Yes, just having his appendix out was scarry enough for me, but when his BP went sky high I realized he might die right there in front of me. I felt so helpless and useless. Did I pray, oh you bet I did? Did I pray to Jehovah? NO! I prayed to God, the Grand Creator, God Almighty and His Son, Jesus. I never once thought to use the name Jehovah, not once. I didn't realize this until he got home. I felt good about this too.
I sat there, looking at his handsome face all night and tried to remember every moment of his life and simultaniously was praying for the chance to have future memories of him.
Later that day I felt so much anger, because I remembered the countless times I stayed at the hospital or visited with the JWs, when their own JW families wouldn't give the time of day. There were only a few people around for me to call to let them know of Bryce's near death situation. All of my 'worldly family lives on the east coast. I was on the phone crying to them, continuously. They kept me going. I was truly hurt and so angry that I chose to be a JW. I thought I was over it, but NO. One of our good friends(80 years old, DFD) came by, called and has volunteered to stay with him. Alamb, just had her baby and I didn't want her dragging her two little kids out and about. She's been through so much and desperately needs her rest. She's pearl. Yes, years of giving true love to so many people and when you need it the most........they could care less.
Well, we survived another turmulous situation, my only regret is that we didn't get out sooner. I know my son felt hurt, even though he didn't say anything.
We got about 6 hours of sleep since Tuesday. Tonight we will ALL be together snoozing soundly.
Happy to have him with us.

i know the answer may depend on your religious views now, but how do you feel about the term "apostate".
if you are of an atheist / agnostic view since leaving the org, do you still feel a stigma attached to the word apostate or has the word completely lost it's significance.
if you have moved on to another religion, do you still believe in the concept of a 'true apostate' and would you therefore find the term offensive?
I use to abhor the word. Then, I accepted the title as a priviledge and an honor.
NOW it's my families claim to fame, I guess.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm me!

one of the nicest people i know got herself dfed a while back.
she was divorcing her husband, found herself lonely and hurting and turned to a brother for comfort.
well you know where that leads.
Oh, can't you just feel the LOVE??!!!
Yes, the truth will set you free. The mind set of those taking the lead is abhorant. Your friend will need support that you can give. This is sad.

i just need to get this off my chest.
my wife, nina, received a visit tonight from her book study conductor and his wife.
now she's made every meeting since i stopped going 14 years ago.
Oh, this brings back so many memmories. Yes, their LOVE has no end, because it never had a beginning.
I'm so sorry for what you have gone through, and what you will be going through. They will cast the blame of disloyalty and spiritual weakness on her. They will demean her very existance and walk away feeling that they have vindicated Jehovah and themselves, because they have cleansed the cong. of an unworthy one. It's amazing when one needs spiritual upbuilding and assistance, they can't deliver. Why? Because they are to busy trying to enlarge the ranks and #s by going out in service. So sad.
I'll be thinking of you.

i hope this bastard is sodomized to death in a jail cell for what he did to these poor girls.

This is so horrible!!!!!!!!! What is so gross about this is his father is in prison for the same thing. If this young woman hadn't have escaped after he had raped her she would also be buried in the back yard with these other poor girls. He seems to be getting gratification from this. Oh, how awful. How long and how many more innocent victims are out there?
I hope he lives just long enough in prison to know what it's like to be brutlized. These girls were innocent lambs, and he is a vicious inhumane beast, so no matter what happens to him he can never know what they felt. I can see him using the situation of his father as his reason......insanity, due to what his father had done to him or to his victims. Let's just wait and see.
OHHHHHHHHHHH Heaven help their families. I just couldn't bear it.
So sad,
SUSCARRA
