she and my dad brought us to the u.s. from ireland in hopes of giving the 4 of us kids a better life with more opportunities.. mom went to school in her village where her mother (my grandmother) was the teacher and the bible was part of the curriculum.
they even used the name jehovah.
her father was a plymouth brethern (think amish or quaker) who was shunned for the rest of his life for marrying my grandmother who wasn't "in the lord"...she belonged to church of ireland.. when the witnesses came to the door after we arrived in the u.s, mom was a shoe-in candidate for their recruitment.
Your mom was absolutely gorgeous. So sorry you lost her when she was so young! Thank you for writing about her.

i mean maybe must be the most overly used word in the dictionary.
my kid went out to play today and as he left the door he said " love you" and i loved that.
but only yesterday i said i would " love" a cup of coffee.. yea we use the word " love" so often.
Appreciation

I love all this kind of legends!

if you had 5 minutes to give the world your personal message and everyone listened, what would you say?.
I would say, Quit running around trying to take over the world! What is the matter with people? Keep your hands off my property! Live and let live!

come on you fellow ex-jw's and cuban apostates, this picture on jw.org has to be another lie from the gb.
i don't buy it!
the cubans in my area have always said they preach in cuba, but do they really do it in the same way as in the states?.
Things must have changed a lot in the last few years. In the late 80s we met a family who had escaped Cuba not too long before. They said bibles were scarce; only COs had wt mags and that if they were caught with them they were marched to the police station and had their eyes put out. They said the sisters had to dress in skirts all the time so that there would not be a day where they looked more dressed up, so no one could tell they were dressed up for meeting or service. The daily texts were very scarce, so the sisters would sit together and make copies of them, with the windows closed and curtains drawn. There were many other details of a terrible hard life. Well my mother is from Cuba so I was very interested.

i am feeling so emotional right now.
crazy doctrines aside, these child abuse cover-ups are horrendous.
add them together and i feel like there is a churning black hole sucking the souls out of these children.. now, i realize there are boys who were abused as well, but i get this overwhelming feeling that girls/women are simply not valued and/or taken seriously or accused of being liars or demonic or, even worse, viewed as a harlot, whore, or temptress in the majority of situations, no matter the age or the brutality of the rape.
After reading silentlambs and Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz we were horrified, shocked and ashamed to have been affiliated with such an obviously corrupt and criminal cult.
So I know what you mean, Heythere. And, welcome!

so its now all clear!.
the reason why that damned wt article several months back said the quote:.
"we may be asked to do something by jehovahs organization, and we should be ready to obey even if it doesnt seem reasonable from a human standpoint or not".
Magnum, i can totally understand about the pain of losing your kitty friend, i'm so sorry for your loss. I love people who appreciate their animal friends like you. We have a wonderful cat here, since she was 6 months old and now 5 years later she has become a regular member of our family. When people come in she runs to greet them and they have to say hi to her just like a person. She knows what's going on all the time.
One time my husband went in where she was sleeping, to play drums. She ran into my office and began meowing at me, very loud. All of a sudden i realized she was mad at him for the noise and wanted me to go in there and tell him to stop. I went to see him and we were talking about her. I looked down the hallway and she was sitting very haughtily, watching us talk instead of coming on in there with us. She had gotten him in trouble! It is so fantastic to realize how this cat has trained us, lol!
Love to you,
Marina
