last saturday, a former ministerial servant and pioneer committed suicide in the woodinville washington kingdom hall parking lot.
he was disfellowshipped several years ago, and according to the old sister that related the story to me today, he was depressed because no one would talk to him.
i don't know how i kept calm when she explained to me that "we couldn't talk to him...he was disfellowshipped.".
Poor,poor boy...the despair he must have been feeling is beyond comprehension...
How awful for you Sabine, to have lost a daughter,especially in that way.I did'nt know;what a tragedy,i'd love to hear about her sometime...
Was it a very long time ago?How are you coping today?
Lots of love sent down the line to you XXX
i graduate this saturday with a double degree.
all of my siblings will be here including my brother, who is an elder, and my lil' sister, who is df.
he's feeling guilty about how the wts has treated the case with his father & our little sister in the 90's.
Congratulations and well done ..you must feel great!

Hi Wind (nothing to do with flatulence I hope)
Great to have another to swell the ranks!
I was raised a Methodist too,pretty gentle religion,nice people...left early teenage...met jw's a few years later-it all went horribly wrong after that!!
ok all you lucky people, this is the big one!.
every july, around about the time of my birthday, her ladyship and myself host the barbie to end all barbies.
fun, frolics and fizz are the order of the day, this is the social event, places are more in demand than tickets to watch england play (that's artistic licence btw), even dub in the pub turned up last year.. originally started 10 years ago to get the local pubs regulars together, i usually invite about 40 from the pub, about 15 little & big hooper's, and i am now throwing open an invitation for about 15 - 20 posters from this site to join in the fun.. the event will, weather permitting, take place on sunday july 21. meet at the waverley pub, severn road, weston - super - mare between 12noon and 3pm.
Eman;I have been granted permission to attend!
Hubby will drop me off and pick me up later (from the floor !??)
But the proviso is that I have to come on my own...will you all talk to me??!!!
I've just had permission!!!!!!!!!!!He's going to visit his Aunt and will drop me off and pick me up(from the floor?!)
See you soon Eman and wifey!
i have just watched about half of part 2 of the bbc documentary on the pursuit of paedophiles in the uk.
i couldn't watch all of it because it churned my stomach completely.
i was completely shocked by what i saw and i was horrified by the lack of remorse shown by a paedophile who had been abusing children for 25 years who kept trying to change the subject to a discussion of female circumcision.. the sentences were minimal with 6 years for this particular abuser.
I feel sick now-
It was horrendous.
The word 'child abuse' is read by so many so often, but a programme like this reminds you just how vile it is...
I can't help thinking it was unnecessarily graphic though...I had to keep turning over...What the hell was that clip at the end in there for?I nearly threw up.
What was the point of putting that in?Irresponsible to say the least;what if some peodophile was watching it and got a kick out of that poor little boys terror?
SICK
The media are nearly as sick in their own way-I won't watch it next week-that was out of order.

I'll certainly try-and thanks to both of you-what do you want brought?food or drink, or both?!

Thanks Blackcat- Here's hoping the article will not only be read by many in the congs...but also won't be forgotten by the public,who'll bring it up on the ministry;I hope the vague answers they receive due to the witnesses lack of knowledge on the whole situation will get them a reputation similar to that of the Catholic clergy...
