    Danny you said:

    "Friday for the love of peace, empathy, or just plain good manner's, if you want to continue this...start your own thread. This one is a personal request by Lisa for help, in a trying time. Even if you don't see it that way...please show some regard to this situation"

    Thank you Danny.
    When my mom checks this thread again tomorrow, I hope she finds support and not a big flame-war.

    I simply considered the liklihood that lisaBObeesa hadn't the foggiest idea who those are that are so keen on offering advice to her and her mother. If it was me, I would be grateful for being informed a little about those advise givers. For example, if I learned that a certain peice of advice was in fact that which come from the lips of Hitler or the likes it would make a lot of difference as to just how serious I would consider such advice.

    In my opinion, anyone with the opportunities that you've had and yet hasn't come to appreciate that the Bible IS the inspired Word of God isn't likely to be a person that could have much of anything worthwhile to offer with regards to advice on anything of importance. And that's about the extent of any respect I have for most things you have to say, Dannybear.

    Friday,

    I agree with Lisa and DB. If you want to start another thread to find what we believe, please do. I don't want to take away from the extremely hard decision lisaBObeesa and her mom have to make, nor turn it into some kind of war. Please continue to be polite, Friday.

    peace,
    somebody

    Yaduff - You're right - I respect no mans authority, worship gods of my own making and believe all organised religion fatally flawed. I fail to see how this invalidates my advice/encouragement. (PS: When did you last attend a meeting? ;)

    TR - While I'm butt-kicking .. how about giving that tired old 'head up arse' joke a rest and putting your head above the parapet. Had any original thoughts today? Jokes are often funny the first tine, rarely the second and never the 83rd.

    Tell yer mom not to pay any attention to the porno that TR posted up above, especially since those whose advice she will be considering approve of such "art".

    Well it really is her decision, and while I can understand how those with loved ones in the organization would want to do that, how long will you keep up the act? I mean are you going to pretend to be a witness indefinitely? Certainly alarms will go off if you say anything which can be interpreted as apostate, too.

    >>>Yadirf,
    Thanks for the info, but it is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Thanks.

    Lisa,
    With that comment all I have to say is if your mother is anything like you and has the ability to see through comments and tactics that are used by someone like Yard-dart your mom is going to be just fine.

    Just listen to your heart, it will guide you to do what's right?

    Both of you take care.

    Would you believe me if I told you that I just got back from one?

    Then we should all guess that you're not a good JW since you're not following the Kingdom Ministry's "suggestion" to stay away from the internet, and especially from anywhere where apostates might be found.
