  2. scandals

  my jw mom just died last week, about 6 1/2 months after my non jw dad died (dehydration, starvation, imo) i was the executor of that will.

  before a month had passed of his death, my dad & mom's will was changed.

  i didn't know until she died.

  I really want my other sister to get something. She is 64, and doesnt have much, she, especially, was cheated out of her inheritance. The house has no mortgage, c/b worth $6-700,000. There were other accounts listed. I knew of one for $100,000 plus, if my dad had a life insurance policy, another $100,000. So, maybe a million. The house must be repaired, maybe 50-60,000. So, 5 kids, $150-200,000 each.

  Is this worth it?

  I dont want to spend money, unless there is hope. I would probably have to use one of those "pay if you win" lawyers.

  My dad would be so mad at this pettiness. It is a shame, makes me so sad.

  Before a month had passed of his death, my dad & mom's will was changed. I didn't know until she died. I and my sires are disinherited, my sister (never a baptized JW, but a believer and goer, now POMO as I am) was also disinhereted.

  My "little sister" and her husband are in charge of all the assets, and my other sister (a JW) & brother (never a JW) are SUPPOSE to get part of this.

  My sister is vengeful and mean. She was the last one on earth to help clean up my mom's house when they were going to be evicted because of my dad's hoarding.

  My disfellowshiped ex-Elder husband apostate and I (never disfellowshipped) and my sister spent a year-and-a-half of our lives keeping them in their house.

  I am so sad at heart as my sister could really use the money. She was always thoughtful, always helping them.

  This Will is written like none I have ever seen. It says my sister can give gifts, spend it on whatever she wants, pay herself for working Etc. I even wonder if the Watchtower has helped made this will.

  Has anyone challenged a will and won?

  Watchtower is the epitome of evil. The Bible has only become a "sword" in their hand ready to stab you in the heart, and chop you apart when needed.

  Time, times and half a time - nerd time

  2. beliefs

  so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.

  the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.

  date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

  Ahhhhhh! This logic truly defines how insane the WT is, and why we can see it is a cult. Who else could get you to believe such insanity?

  I totally remember ALL of that. I remember. In 1969 (i was 14) reading, 'why go to college, you won't be able to finish it before the new world, and even IF you could finish, what good would it do you?' Basically.. that rung in my brain, "should i try? Would i be wasting my time when "I could be saving lives?' How many people did i save? None. A REAL waste of time.

  EU top court rules on JW blood transfusion case

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the court of justice of the european union (cjeu) yesterday delivered the judgment (press release) on a request of the supreme court of latvia on whether domestic authorities are obliged to reimburse costs of cross-border medical treatment when the patient's decision to perform it in another european country was based on religious, not medical, grounds.

  the opinion of advocate general (summarized here) is helpful in understanding the case.. the son of the applicant in the main proceedings had to have open heart surgery.

  that operation was available in the latter’s member state of affiliation, latvia, but could not be carried out without a blood transfusion.

  I knew a man who died in the 70's because WT said "No organ transplants".... He needed a kidney. He got hours and hours of dialysis before he finally died.

  Not long after, WT decided it was "ok" to get transplants.

  "Don't worry, wait on Jehovah, He will take care of it in time"...

  The famous response to anything they cannot find a logical reason for.

  If an imperfect human would stop this abuse right away, why would a loving powerful god let this terribly criminal act keep hurting children?

  Thank you, Corney, for the updates. It is nice to see that someone cares.
