Thanks for sharing .
so when my mom died in 2007 the main thing that kept me from losing it was that i knew i would see her again in the earthly paradise that i read and sang about in the jw publications.
i honestly fully believed in it.
we were best friends and it was devastaing to lose her.

i've finally got round to joining the site (after over 2 years lurking!
i was born into jws, pioneered for 10 years (met my husband at pioneer school).
had health issues that saw me catapulted away from 'the centre of the cong' and wow what a different place that was!
Welcome, and as i was told many times after waking up......
"SEIZE THE DAY"........have funβΊ
i am going to make this short.
i ran into a older jw women who i have known my whole life.
she is pushing 80 and will never change.
Pops always told me...."ya dont work......ya dont eat"........
Simple.
i've been fading for about 9 months.
the elders know exactly why.
i received a phone call a couple of days ago.
today at the wt study one of the new songs was used.
how has this been going in other congs - at my hall about two thirds had it on either tablets or phones with lyrics on or printed out, rest just stood looking blank.
singing very poor.
straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.
it was one of the people who are working on it.
firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.
ok we all say stupid things (probably on a daily basis in my case) but my mother (a jw) was told by another member that she doesn't have a conscience because anyone who smiles as much as she does simply can't have a conscience.
i bet you can guess the person who said it to her has a face like a wet weekend.. i guess the reasoning is: if you had a conscience you wouldn't have much to smile about because you'd be overwhelmed with guilt and worry.
what a load of old bollox that cult is eh?.
OMG.....OMG......OMG......OUTLAW !!!!!!!!πππππππ
TOOOOO DAMN FUNNNNY !!!!!!
