  I HAVE CANCER

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found out the other day that i have endometrial cancer.

  needless to say, i'm shocked, angry and desperate.

  i blame this on my incompetent doctor who did absolutely nothing when i first went to him two years ago and said "there's something wrong here.

  JW funeral and I am DF'd

  by Vivamus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have not been a very active poster lately [have you missed me?].

  there has been plenty of drama in my life the last few weeks, and my time has been absorbed by it.

  my grandma is seriously ill, and has but a few more months to live.

  Viv,

  I'm with the others; sit wherever you want. Are there going to be non-jw visitors? If there are, I don't think the elders can do much. They have to look nice, you know.

  What org rules were stupid to you?

  by MARTINLEYSHON in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was in the truth i thought that the most ludicrous and petty ruling they ever introduced and still practiced is that congregation book study conductors were and are responsible for collecting every group members report.

  surely every member ought to be responsible for his/her own actions.

  at the beginning of the following month and certainly before the 5th i would always receive the stupid telephone call from the secretary are you aware that 3 publishers havent reported?

  First of all, I wouldn't call myself being "in the truth" when I looked back my life as a jw. I would call it, "in the cult."

  So when I was in the cult, the most stupid rule was.....shunning policy. And now I think of it, just being a jw is a stupid thing to do.

  How do you like your steak?

  by FiveShadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a jw...i just got baptized on my sixteenth birthday...i was thrilled and excited ...i went to iowa to visit a sister who i had a close relationship with.

  when i got there...i was given entry into a brother's house where they were having a huge bbq where steaks were on the grill...and the brother made four steaks...and set one steak aside for himself and declared it was his.

  i asked why ...he said "cause i like my steak medium rare.

  I like mine medium well. I used to have it very well-done. But when I went to a French restaurant one time and ordered a rack of lamb, the waiter told me that the chef hated cooking meat well-done. He suggested me med-well, and I have to say that I became a med-well person ever since.

  I hate seeing blood, too. When I was helping out at kitchen at the assembly, we were assembling roast beef sandwiches. And I saw blood in the meat package - I guess it was cooked med or med-rare. I said, "Look at that blood!" And other jws said, "No, that's its juice." Then I said, "Do you see that color, red? Do you know why? That's because it's blood." I never ate a roast beef sandwich at the assembly after that.

  Yes, comfy, people try hard to survive. I have to ask:

  If they are going to go to the heaven, and have a good life, why don't they want to die?

  If they are going to be just like "sleeping", why do jws call ambulance instead of just letting him "go to bed"?

  Would it be because we human being love to BBQ and enjoy companionship, meaning enjoy life?

  Comfy, would you rather fall sleep in death and wait for the resurrection, or have a BBQ (with meat and sauce of your choice ) and beer with friends and family?

  Don't tell me you are a vegetarian, comfy.

  Anderson's Go to Canada to Testify

  by silentlambs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  joe and barbara anderson will be representing silentlambs.org at the victoria boer sexual child abuse trial in toronto, canada that will begin on sept. 9th.

  the andersons need a place to stay for approximately one night in toronto during the trial where barbara will be called to testify against the watchtower.

  in addition, if they could find a place to stay somewhere near northern indiana or michigan, on the way from tennessee to the trial, and a place to stay when they return, it would save silentlambs motel costs.

  Please, I am so upset...I need some hugs...

  by Sentinel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.

  many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.

  my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

  I am so sorry for your situations.

  I am going through a similar situation for myself. I am DA'd, and I'm getting married soon. My mother, who is a jw, told me that she won't have meal with me or see me any more. Some of you may know that she also told me that she is not going to come to my wedding, too. Lately she's been talking to me over the phone asking about my wedding preparation. She said that she is inviting maybe 3 couples. Maybe she'll come to my wedding after all. But I'm preparing myself for her shunning after the ceremony. I love my mom dearly, and I know that she loves me so much, too. She is getting so much pressure and brain-wash from the WTS. I'm sure she is going through a lot of heartache right now as much as I am. I HATE THIS CULT! I HATE THIS CULT! I HATE THIS CULT!
