by els inplease read your response in stormbringer's "jah" thread and then your response in my "jws behavior on 9-11" thread on nov. 18.. maybe you were just having a bad day but your comment to me bordered on sarcastic and it really surprised me.
i was just "seeking some genuine information" and yet you didn't seem concerned about the board "losing touch" with me.
how can you criticize others responses when your's was very similar?

I think he should pick Brooke because Helene's laugh is irritating.[>:(] Actually, tonight is the only night I've seen it so I don't have a clue.

I ran into a woman today who is a friend of my sister-in-law, my brothers wife. She told me that my sister-in-law sold her book that she has been working on for years. I have read and commented on every rewrite of this book. She is married to the brother that I have always been closest to. She has three boys, the oldest is just a little younger than my son. Her middle son I delivered in their car. We have always had these long phone calls whenever our kids were driving us nuts.
She and my brother aren't even that good of witnesses, sort of on again, off again, but they have been shunning me along with the rest of my family. I just am having a really hard time realizing that she didn't even call to tell me about her book being published. I feel forgotton and not wanted, like left over food in the back of the fridge.
I was feeling really good lately and then Wham! I get blindsided. This is such crap. I never asked to be a witness, but I still get punished for not being one. els -

Ugh! Those pictures bring back such memories. I remember going out in service, which I always hated, and trying my hardest to not get out of the car. I did not want to try to place things like that with anyone. els

I cannot imagine what it was like for those of you who were there that day, and those who lost friends or loved ones. Such senseless deaths. my heart goes out to you all. All those deaths in the name of God and religion. If there is a god and he cares about us and has a plan for us, what is he waiting for? Isn't there enough evil and suffering is this world for him to do what ever it is he's going to do?
I was home alone that day and I turned on the TV just as the first plane hit. I didn't move, just watched, stunned until the second tower fell. Then I wondered if my boss, who is from NY and has family there, knew what was going on. I called him at work and he hadn't seen anything since the planes hit. He thought that it would be OK, that they would get the fires out. He was trying to make me feel better and I had to tell him, NO Bill, They're gone, they collapsed. He didn't believe me or he couldn't. I was just sobbing over the phone. All I could tell him was, turn on the TV.
DIZZY CAT; YOU SAID; Even JWs are human. Try not to clutch at straws looking for justification for walking away from the Borg'anization, feeling happy and righteous as you go.My remaining friends in the org' would not turn their backs on suffering when witnessed.
We all bleed the same. Believe it or not.
For someone who is no longer a witness you semm to be very judgemental. I did not say anything about why I asked what I did. I'm not entirely sure why I did. Partly I was shocked to think that witnesses could be that unfeeling. I used to have dear,dear friends in the "truth", my entire family is in. I was a witness from when I was a baby till 26 and had babies of my own. I left a huge piece of myself behind when I left. I know as well as anyone that there is good and bad in the witnesses, as there is in every one. The congregation I left is exemplary in many ways, they cannot do enough for my parents (they are 80 and my mother walks with a walker and my father is in a wheelchair). I have my own justification for walking away, but I do not feel HAPPY or RIGHTEOUS about it. I broke my mothers heart when I left.
So don't assume from a few words that you know anything about me. I was just curious, that's all. els -

In retrospect it is hilarious! els
