i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?
once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.
anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.
Your dad was a great man-one that wasn't afraid to stand up for what he thought was right. From what you write he was as genuine as they come. I've heard "rank and file" used by witnesses but "company men?" I can't imagine anybody entrenched in this cult use that expression. Also the fact the he only wanted to listen to the Bible, would lend itself to someone who was able to see what was behind the curtain.
By the way WELCOME

a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Oh gosh Eden! I am not a great poster but I read a lot on this forum and I've always enjoyed your posts. I used to read Vivienne too. But he/she has turned me off many times. When I see his/her posts I skip through them.
Sending you good wishes whatever you decide to do.

wondering what to think...i'm recently divorced from my jw spouse ( i was never a jw).
we have a 11 year old son who is being forced to attend meetings and have all the beliefs that ex has.
i'm constantly being told what i should do and i'm supposed to go along with ex on whatever he says because apparently the "head of the family" continues after divorce in his world.
I agree the other fellow posters that they most certainly dating. There was a sister years ago that got disfellowshipped under similar circumstances. They told she was committing emotional adultery in her heart.
And yes he could be disfellowshipped--both of them actually
millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.
i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.
the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.
That study was dreadful
@exjwsrock-- it really was dreadful. I sat there stunned and thinking how bizarre the material was and how at one time, I soaked it all in.
i was invited to a small get-together by a long time friend.
we both served as elders for years.
he is in his late 70s.
All these tall tales all belong to John Aquila.
But it was an interesting read.

What a hypocrite. If its not about funds as he says at the outset, what it it about then?
Thanks for the bringing this to the forums attention
