so, a female relative of mine who is 60 but inactive in the truth had their mate dying in the hospital.

the older sister + husband and old brother (of dying man) (active witnesses) come to visit and stay at their home.

the old sister is staying at the hospital around the clock for the duration of the visit but tells her sister-in-law that she must have a chaperon at the house if she is going to be there with her husband and her dying husbands older brother?

Need help with Domestic Violence references in JW literature
by Namaste in
1. jw

i'm trying to help my friend's non-jw family deal with a domestic violence situation with their recently turned jw sister.

i didn't know it was going to turn into a dv situation (started as something else) so i scrounged up an old reasoning book and a few websites to give the family an idea of what they were dealing with in regards to jws.. now it is clearly dv and i do not have any current resources to help them reason with their family member.

i did a forum search and came up with a few threads, found one from 2001 that had a few wt/aw quotes but was hoping maybe someone had something else in the past 10 years where the jw literature references dv.

cottonwood, arizona (cnn) -- the cheering was raucous and the applause thunderous for a man who makes few public appearances.. as he made his way gingerly across a gravel park, where he had just dedicated a nearly 40-foot statue representing the "soul of the earth," a voice shouted out: "i love you, ilchi lee.".

Just got a phone call...

my oldest daughter (who is currently up in ct) just called to tell me my stepmother (wicked witch of the west) was in an accident yesterday evening.

she was riding a moped and crashed it into a parked car (don't ask me what an overweight 53 year old woman with bad knees is doing on a moped but whatever...supposed to save on the cost of gas or something).

anyway...she shattered her right leg and wrist in the accident (her good walking side) and apparently will never be the same.
