anyway briefly - bought up in 'the truth', baptised at 18, married at 21, had kids, got divorced, remarried, disfellowshipped 15 years ago.. parents and brother shun me.. early last year father very ill, calls me.

i arrange to visit him in hospital.

There have been a few experiences here about parents with dementia forgetting all about the JWs and having good relationships with their formerly shunned children.

You just need to wait until the dementia gets worse and then just avoid your brother. You might end up enjoying the lasts few months' or years' of your mum's life once she forgets all about the JWs and her daily life is only as large as the care home.

One Thing I Don't Get About Brexit

by JW_Rogue in

how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?

and with only a simple majority required?

in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.

The best thing about democracy is that everybody gets a vote.

Cart "Witnessing"

by Funchback in

besides being a waste of time for those doing it, and being an easy way for the society to inflate its reports of time spent in the ministry, cart witnessing is also taking up space.

i live in a hot city in brazil.

today, the jws decided to set up their cart in the shady spot of the bus stop, where people going to work have to wait for the bus.. ugh!.

Wildfires in the Paradise. Will there be any?

by James Mixon in

the wildfires in san gabriel today is in my back yard.

we are next to be evacuated if the .

wind shift.

GrreatTeacher

Well, that's a relief, then. Mother nature is unpredictable.

Never had a wildfire to deal with, but we get hurricanes often enough and it's nerve-wracking not knowing exactly where they will hit and how bad it will be.

Hope it rains soon.

I've been found out!

by pale.emperor in

well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.

someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.

i just feel sad for my daughter.

GrreatTeacher

Just another example of having no concept of boundaries.

Would you ever, in a million years, ever go over to someone else's house, get on their personal computer, pull up their history and then proceed to snoop through the websites and take pictures?

And, then, as an elder, would you accept evidence gained in such an underhanded manner?

What morally bankrupt people.
