My Mom is in the hospital

by JeffT in

my mother broke her hip last week.

she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.

we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

Sorry to hear JeffT. At such advanced age she may have lots stacked against her. It is very hard to watch our parents age and weaken. I am dealing with similar situation right now. I feel helpless as I watch my parents deteriorate. Keep strong and I hope your mom pulls through.

Hoser and Baldeagle:

I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks Wayne Johnson to be a real piece of work. --so deluded and full of himself. A genuine human peacock. I have heard through the grapevines that he has been or was ill for a time.----- He wont be getting a "get well" card for me any time soon.

Ancientofdays: I've also wondered about the italian letterhead and wondered what is up for that. I know for a fact that there are many capable translators at Via della Bufalotta and around . But then again Anthony Morris the third showed the world that the only thing Italians were known for was tight pants.

Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

by Juan Viejo2 in

against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

Very interesting and very credible. Thanks for sharing

Good news. Glad some of the pompous DO's I've come across will be brought down a peg or too. Any Canadian remember Wayne Johnson?

I recently watched a youtube vidio from Nov 2013 where he was debating with a minister of sorts. Other than that seems like he fell off the face of the earth.

Private meetings banned??

by franticfran in

jw
friends

i have just spoken to a brother who is part of a group of single brothers and sisters who meet together once a week to discuss bible topics and he has been told by and elder that the organisation "banned" these private meetings years ago.

i told him i remember that article but he is adamant that the society would never do that (!

) now i am fairly sure i remember that article whether it was in a km or one of the mags i cant recall but i am sure i remember them saying we needed nothing more than the food that the slave class provided (another means to control us),does anyone have the details of that article because i have said i will find it and let him have it.

Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

by punkofnice in

i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

And Yes many many elders preached the end would come in 1975. Round my parts, we had old Brother Scaglioni who gave a talk with K Little of Canadian branch and yes they intimated that the end would come in 75
