fyi ---- for all of us, please take the time to write a sentence or two about yourselves, and encourage new ones to do the same.
Skimmer, Pearljan,
i have some knowledge of what you both are going thru. i have a close relative whos husband needs a liver transplant. we have watched him go downhill and he is just now been approved for the transplant program. it is very frustrating to know that it will take a few years or more before he will probably get a liver. im so sorry to hear of the difficulties you both are going thru. please know that i am keeping both of you and your families in my prayers and thoughts.
i also thought you might like to read Waiting's post entitled "DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING". it is exactly what you encouraged people to do....not to spare any time appreciating your family, friends, etc. the link is: * http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=6302&site=3
oh behalf of every patient who needs a transplant, regardless of what kind, thank you for sharing your stories and encourcouraging others to become donors.

thanks Jason. i really appreciate all the time you took to answer my question and that you answered on the board.
the only thing i see as a difference from what you wrote and jws believe is that your "truth" says God & Christ are the same person YHWH. is there something else different that i may have missed?
i also wonder: were you ever a jw? are you practising a diff religion now? if so what? it is just curiousity on my part as well as a way to get to know you better. i was raised jw for 27 or so years. i "drifted" aprox 3yrs ago. i left because of the lack of brotherly love and caring.
thanks again

dear Gigi, If you are confused, write me at [email protected]. I can probably answer any question you have concerning your religion. Believe me, I can help. You may feel at home when you enter the kingdom hall. But that's because you were raised in it. There is only one truth and I can tell you what it is.
If you need guidance or have a question, just write to me. I'm not like most people. I'm not your enemy, and I am not ignorant
my question is, if you know the answer why didnt you put it here? many people are searching for the answer. i do not feel comfortable emailing you so am asking you put the answer here as i am interested in what it is. thank you in advance.

i requested that my sons (both jws) come to my home for a family meeting today.
had nothing to do with religion.
both of them know i don't go to meetings and that i have intellectual disagreement with wtbs.. son #2 said that before we begin the meeting, he would like to offer up prayer.
hey Pat,
good for you for sticking up for yourself! as everyone else said: you are completely right as to how you handled it. i just wanted to add that if i was in either son's house and they wanted to pray over the meeting, i would excuse myself til the prayer was over with (since i dont subscribe to the jw-ism anymore). i dont feel anyone should have any kind of worship pushed upon them. just wanted to share my point of view.
take care,
Kat

stephen,
really miss your daily messages....are you ok?
heres one for today (esp good for escaping jws at your door):
When trying to ignore a knock at your door, don't yell out, "No!" when someone asks, "Is anybody at home?"

if this happened to you?.
sitting behind my computer a few mornings ago, i was doing the share of reading that i do on a daily basis, sipping my coffee, minding my own, when an instant message appeared on my screen.
call it second nature, i responded as i usually do.
hey chuck,
if i understand you, the only email they would have had was the old AOL email, am i right? (you said that you didnt change your email addy at the boards you post on). if this is correct, did you use the same screen name when you changed providers? or did you use a new screen name? If you left no clue as to your new provider and screen name then i would be concerned. but i also see riz's point about the possibility that they may just be interested in getting to know you. how did the exchange go? was it really intrusive with lots of questions about yourself without the other person giving alot of info on themselves? that would upset and concern me. depending on how it all went down, i would probably block them from being able to contact me again. at the very least, you have let them know that this was an invasion of your privacy and that you arent quite happy bout it.
stay safe,
Kat
