so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.
it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.
by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.
Congratulations to both of you!! You have a fighter...good for her. My sister was 2 1/2 lbs at birth, she is 51 years old now. She was a fighter at birth and still is to this day. It's just part of her make up and personality.
Glad to hear Izzy is resting well, that way her body can continue to grow and get stronger.
Wishing you all the best!! Take care!
another article analyzing how bad poor jw's have it when it comes to opposition from family.
few interesting quotes:.
parr 2:.
I can't see how they could enforce anything involving social media unless there are public comments back and forth on each profile.
Otherwise, there are various levels of interactions on social media. Some rarily use their accounts or post comments, so therefore may not feel the need "unfriend" a df one.
I imagine it could get pretty messy trying to police social media interactions. What if someone forgets there password and can't access their account and remains "friends" with a df one, will they have to explain?
a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?
because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.
) when the friend had an abortion.
I have know of a JW who was publically reproved for this.
So it seems it may be possible to get disfellowshipped, depending on the congregation and how repentant they deem her to be.

Links below to two other news sources. Interesting comments under the USATODAY article.

this is very topical so i thought i'd share a compilation document of 10 audio clips.. these are mostly from before 1975, taken from convention recordings at the time, stressing the importance of 1975 and getting the crowd excited in anticipation.. entire talks are embedded but it's been typed out what was said and the time point it occurs.. this document is 220mb, so be warned.. i hope you're not triggered by the drawn out assembly speech style because this is full of it.. if anyone ever tries to tell you that there was no mention of 1975, hopefully this will give you some evidence.. if anyone with the ability could turn this into a short, shareable video, that would be much more useable and shareable than this (no disrespect to the creator).. click here for the recordings.
it will be gone in one month..
Thanks!!!

Great work Blonde. Thanks!!
Thanks for posting
i was one of many witness children, who studied this book in english literature class.. having re-read it as an adult it addressed so many issues i have with the organisation.
including maniputive control, the re-writing of history etc etc.
so many of the characters in the book, resembled characters i have known in the organisation.. boxer- loyalty without questioning.. squeler- a character who doesn't care about truth, and uses rhetoric of language to twist truth.. clover-who silently questions decisions, but stays loyal.. if your young, or old i would suggest reading this small book, by george orwell.
I read AF so long ago I don't remember it. I'm going to reread it.
I was able to download it to the kindle app for free as an Amazon Prime member.
i can't even remember what got me interested in pans, probably wanting to try cooking more and watching some cooking videos on youtube, but i kind of started wanting to get a cast-iron skillet specifically so started reading up on them.
hey, if you're going to spend $50 on something you need to study them and create a comparison spreadsheet ... right?.
not only did cast-iron look great for cooking but there are some studies that show risks to aluminium / teflon cookware ... not that the wts was "right" about aluminium, but teflon can give off carcinogenic chemicals if overheated (so what if it chips off into your food?).
I missed this when it first posted. I also love our cast iron skillets. We grew up with them when I was a child. After getting married I bought a set of them but never used them correctly until a few months ago. They were very sticky, as I wasn't cleaning and reoiling them correctly. Now we make great steaks in them.
