I'm sorry you went through that. Why can't they just leave people alone?? They have no respect for boundaries, personal priorities or just giving someone space!!!

Do you know where Rick McLean is hiding?
by AndersonsInfo ini've been thinking that the michael norris case makes it clear that an accused jw perpetrator of child sexual abuse, who has been identified, can 'disappear' into another congregation in another place.
in the case of michael norris, it's obvious that the watchtower knew norris was hiding in costa rica where he attended a jw congregation.
so this makes me wonder if anyone still on the 'inside' knows where rick mclean is at present.

Thank you, Blondie. Our conductor kept reminding everyone how "privileged" they were to have the JW name. Comments focused on how fortunate (never lucky) we were that so many rejected this name. We are sooooo much better than the whole world.

Very touching to read through. Balsam, I'm so sorry for your loss. You did what you thought was right at the time and sometimes we just have to make peace with that. I've only recently been to the www.ajwrb.com site and informed my best friend of my new stance on blood, as she will be my POA, if my parents don't agree when I see them this summer to tell them TTATT. So happy that your two boys are out with you.
Carpe Diem!

how do you cope with the stress of fading?
by brainmelt ini'm really struggling with it.
i've been learning the ttatt for the past 6 months now and i've been inadvertantly fading - either one of us or the children have had coughs/colds/flu/chicken pox/stress over the past 3 months which has meant we've missed a lot of meetings and field service with good reason.
we've only been out in service twice this year, so far no ones mentioned it to us but i'm waiting for our group overseer to bring it up anytime soon.

Exercising. Volunteering with causes I believe in. Socializing with new friends. Good tea and wine. Reminding myself that it's not me; it's them.

3rd Oil Spill This Week
by designs inexxon, shell, and canadian pacific railway all had oil spills reported this week.
exxon and shell's oil spills were from ruptured pipelines and canadian pacific had a railcar accident.. the exxon spill flooded streets and the yards of homes outside of little rock arkansas and the shell spill occured outside houston texas near the vince bayou.
residents of the little rock community never knew that high pressure pipelines ran under their homes which is a disturbing fact being discovered more and more.

Good points. Yet, everyone knows the Risks associated with driving. It seems people have a right to know what their home is built on before they make such a big purchase.

My story in short
by DeWandelaar ini am visiting this site for quite some time now and now i think it is time to tell something about me and my experience.
without giving away my name (i am in "fade mode"): i am from the small country they call the netherlands, the land of wooden shoes, tulips, cheese and too many inhabitants per square meter.
i am married with children and a second generation jw.

Marvin - I thought the fact these spills didn't seem to make top news a sad reality of one more aspect of apathy on the part of some humans. My area of expertise does not lie in this field, so I don't have a global solution. I just think that if more people are aware and talking about issues it's better than remaining silent. I try to do what I can for the causes I care about. I bought a hybrid car 8 years ago after a lot of research. I'm just someone that cares about a lot issues and tries to what I can whether it is by recycling, not buying products tested on animals, volunteering at the domestic violence shelter, raising awareness of FGM ( female genital mutilation ) etc. Just trying to get people talking, caring and brainstorming about solutions.
Also, selfishly I love the beach and don't want to see another spill damaging our oceans.
Carpe Diem!
