Did You Get Your Flu Shot?

by Sentinel in

both my husband and i got ours this week.

it seems the supply is limited again this season.

he didn't have any side affects, but my arm has been hurting since yesterday.

I wondered why your arm was so sore and now I know.I never get the flu shot and have had a bad flu only once that I remember.Most persons I know get very sick when they get the shot.Pros and cons abound...

Love,

Out On The Limb of Life...

by Sentinel in

because i have already done my research into "the bible thing", "the god" thing, "the jesus" thing, i tend to stay away from the doctrinal discussions.

i don't judge anyone for his or her beliefs.

but, i can truly understand why some are still in that "place".

sOOner

Very well said.How did you do the signature thing,mine has never worked

I am enjoying my limb in life so to speak.I feel much wisdom in my heart.I believe that if we graciously ask of our creators they bless us with new found information and this allows us to see through the veil so to speak.Many secrets are being brought to our attention in the media with movies such as "Signs".We have to allow our eyes to see and believe.

Love,

Sis>C

Are Parents Who Shun Their Children At Risk?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

who looks after the welfare of ageing witness parents who have disfellowshipped children?

are these df'd children (actually, some of these df'd children are in their 60's) meant to ignore being ignored and then care physically for their non speaking parents?

also, can df'ing your own children lead to witness parents suffering illness or even death as a result?.

Make my day~

10/4/2002
The phone rang today at 11am. It was mama.Of course I reconized her voice and listened to her.She said again how much she loves me and how things would and could be different.I was pleasant to her and told her I was fine.I also told her how depressed the news had made me and how I had overcome it.I told her that I was sure NOW more then ever that I would never accept a religion that destroyed family units.She said BRO had more or less told her that about me.

It was as loving conversation that is possible considering her main focus is honouring her hovah.She said she thinks of all of her girls and that her health was fair and she was taking her needed medications.She mentioned she had recieved a card (brief) from Karen/Sentinel and had spoken to Polly.She also felt that Polly did not want to be in the middle relaying messages and she understood that.I also informed her that Polly had been told by me before her call to her.The blow was softenned considerably.
She mentioned calling Karen/Sentinel and I told her to save her self being hurt and that I needed to discuss it first with her.I know how Karen/Sentinel feels about the situation and it could be a hurtful thing on both ends.I told mama I will continue to make her labels and such,write once in a while and call every so often.

I asked her how she felt about all of Abraham's people~Ismael and his descendants and Issac and his offspring and all the others before and after that do not carry the label of JW's and how did she believe they ALL would be destroyed????

Of course she said that is all in the written word and even if I did read it,I would not understand it because the light doth not shine on me....well La te da!

I thought to myself(just let it go).

I ended the conversation with my intent that she remains happy,content and steadfast in what makes her happy and fullfilled.I also let her know that I was NOW fine with her decision and what else could I be?

I also assured her of my unconditional love...after all isn't Universal unconditional Love and compassion what it is suppose to be ALL about???

It is her choice.I also said she is getting older and she mentioned how BRO had spoken to her and how it had made her realize that she cannot completely eliminate our responsilities to her.She is OUR mama.
She said our Uncle is much worse.

I have been just letting the days go and come and each day has been one of two things.Either I am very high on enlightment or I am very unconcerned.We each have to make our lives fit patterns that are useful and bring enjoyment to us.I want to show as much love and compassion that I am capable of showing.I apolized to mama for my behavior on first hearing the news.I did not apolize for how it made me feel.
I wake most mornings around 4:44 and I belch,fart and pour a glass of ice tea and think of dad:)That was three of his most favorite things:)

I am having the best of happy and loving dreams.I have been doing more things for my daughter,family and friends. It is in giving that we do recieve.

For me,hearing mama's voice made my day.

Hello Englishmen...

I just read your post and was in awe and realized that so much of what was posted in reponse is my feelings to the tee.

When my mama shunned me this past August 30th,I removed her pictures that adorned my walls.I sent out sympathy cards to let others in my immediate family know that she chose once again her hovah over her own children.

So be it...

and Farkel could not have said it better

I quote:

"This may be considered harsh, but any parent who shuns his or her own child, doesn't deserve to receive anything from that child. I can think of no worse pain for a human being than to be totally rejected and treated as dead from that child's own parents"

Que Sera~

Dub Glossary

jw
friends

many of you have already seen this, but there are also many new ones posting and lurking.

this is a little handy reference to help you understand dub-speak.

i've updated it an added a number of new terms and expressions.. ----------------------.

Farkel,

This was a absolute masterpiece.I am reading older posts as I really enjoy the variety here.

It's like a smorgus board of delightful and funny...sometimes very sad stories all told in truth of having been there done that and some are still doing it .

I am one of the three sisters recently shunned that you posted about.

The Blessings of Owning A Pet

by Sentinel in

guess what?

today we went to a local pet store, where they have these homeless animals, especially kittens brought in every weekend for a few hours to be adopted out.. we got there at a bit after two, and they were packing up to leave for the day.

but, we had seen a cute kitten and the lady who takes care of these animals in transit, stayed so we could pick out the one we wanted.. mind you, this was one of those spur of the moment decisions.

sOOner

OK this picture of Purrby is from the site that was mentioned so Rufus could get his picture posted(www.Strike9)

did Purrby show up??

If he didn't can someone in plain English explain the HOW TOO's on this matter.

Thank you~

"Hi Mom, this is your 'wake-up call.'

by TuningFork in

i'm coming in here this morning because even though i am learning not to be a victim in this shunning experience "again," i do have feelings and am very sad this morning.

you see, usually about every two weeks or so (at least), i would call my mom early in the morning and say, "hi mom, this is your wake-up call.

" little did i know just how much energy was carried in that message.

Sentinel and Tuning Fork"Can't WE ALL just get Along

I have just survived another close call with the winds of the Hurricane to brush the Keys.

I am stressed and am finding it hard to get out of the bed in the morning,can't sleep at night~

and want to go back to bed at a moments notice.

I have a daughter and grandchildren that DO NOT understand the change in me.

I love you both to infinity~

Sentinel~

Tuning Fork~

Do you remember pulling me off the old cooking stove?

Those were the days my sisters,those were the days
