  need the vital support of trained guys amidst an organization of uncritical thralls.

  Met,

  Do yo think that the society will flip and encourage higher education? It is obvious that the well is drying up in the smarts department.

  I think that a lot of jws know that something is wrong but will never blame "mother". Most will acknowledge problems but they see them as local problems.

  The average garden variety Jw does not see the whole picture, that the crap come from the Ivory towers. The 3 most used words coming out of Jw's mouth are "THEY NEVER SAID"

  Tough day -- my mom died today

  by cruzanheart in

  2. friends

  poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.

  the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.

  last weekend she actually looked a little better.

  " younger sibs clapped!

  I do feel bad for a lot of the same.

  The worst for me is the sense of superiority I and my family displayed as loyal Jws. How we thought we were better than our "wordly" relatives. How condenscending I was towards them. Now I realize my relatives were the superior ones. They put up with all our crap and listenened and faithfully came to all the memorials and truly respected us. But I can't say the same for me.

  I wish I could go back in time and undo all the damage that was caused.
