  GAWD!!!!. . . .

  ((((((((((((((((Yerusalyim)))))))))))))))))

  I'm soooo sorry to hear how distressed your wife is feeling! It must feel overwhelming for both of you. . .she, because of her depression, pain or whatever is at the root of her suicide attempt. . .and you because of your concern and love for your wife.

  Hospital stay sounds like a good plan, at least she will be safe there. . .safe from herself and any real or perceived danger. She needs professional help, and lots of love and support from you. . .in my opinion. . .

  You are both in my thoughts. . .

  Love,

  Watchtower & Awakes through the mail

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember about 12 years ago, we stopped receiving the watchtower and awake magazines through the mail.

  who remembers the reason for that?

  afterwards, we had to get them ourselves at the hall.

  JW reasoning? . . . was because they were hoping that if their flock had to pick up their mags at the kh, they would be at more meetings, me thinks. . .

  Ozzie's Weekend Poll #34

  2. friends

  mrs ozzie prepared the lunch and i made the drinks!

  our visitors were baptist folk, so there was no shiraz today, out of respect for their sensibilities!

  we enjoyed our conversation about dateline/panorama/sunday and they are taking a tape of the sunday program to various church groups in the south of sydney.

  When you were, or still are, a Dub, how near was Armageddon to you?

  10. Other (please detail) . . . Any moment, any day, any week, any month, any year, any decade, any century. . . .that's it!. . . I'm outta here!!!

  Slowly and surely. . . empty promises. . . coupled with letdown after letdown. . .my faith in the jws dimished into nothingness.

  Probing Questions

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been a whole bunch of probing questions in new threads lately.

  people are encouraged to spill their guts out on the most sensitive of topics including jeopardizing their identities with questions about what they like on their pizzas.

  just call me old fashioned, but some of these polls look like information-gathering the wts would love to mine.

  Why no windows?

  by Gig in

  actually this is a good sign for me, progress really.

  No windows. . .

  Skeptic: Even in a small city like Saskatoon, KHs were subject to vandalism. . . broken windows, theft, graffiti. . .We had an older kh, before the "quick build" days, and it had windows. . .some of the time. As the windows got broken, they were boarded up and not replaced. . . due to the vandalism.

  Mac: Alternate escape route? LOL!!! I like your thinking!!! Me? I stayed quietly in my seat and admired my pretty shoes!!!

  Aztec: I think distraction may be part of the reason, too. . .LOL!! ('cept that the windows in our kh were too high on the wall for anyone to see out of). I know when I was in school, the windows were surely a distraction for me!!

  EDITED to fix my spelling (I knew that one day my daydreaming at school would come back to haunt me!!)
