there are some people that do in fact want to die.
these people include the mentally unstable, emotionally imbalanced, and those suffering from ailments or diseases, just to name a few.. i've never met however, anyone, or heard of anyone, who is of sound mind, who just awoke one day and thought it would be an excellent day to die......naturally.. your thoughts?.
A fit young man might tremble strapped on a guillotine, but an octogenarian, with joint pains, watching his grand- grandchildren play in his sunny backyard, would gladly go to sleep soon, perhaps becoming willing feed for the ever-present predators in former times. Nature has a way of making permanent sleep desirable. and life possible for the young, the deserving.
Natural death, of old age, is a satisfying experience "dying old and satisfied" ( one of the few biblical truism).
the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.
how in the world did they justify this torture?
imagine the children forced to sit in the summer heat at yankee stadium for 12 hours a day.
for 8 days.
so sad.

You had your throat cut in the H2H ministry? By whom? Freddo ; No, my throat was not cut, but the threat was palpable. It was ~ 20 years ago, working a list with minority names , in a "multicultural society" country. Members of the peaceful religion do not react kindly to jws calling at their doors with a message that basically says: " we are here , because we have the right religion, and your's must be false, so, come and change. here is how: read these papers, or watch this video. " using just other, disguising words.
What I meant is that the influence of these migrants is not the immediate terrorist threat but the long term subversion of the host countries' values.
so sad.

but it could happen..
it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

had an interesting conversation with my wife recently.
she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.
she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.
