    Tina, that was pretty much my story of how I went in and out of the Borg. My grandmother had just died, and here they came knocking. I fell for it. My sympathy to you for the loss of your dear husband. ((((Tina)))))

    MD, sometimes life's trials can make you or break you. Glad you didn't let all that get you down and keep you there! Plastic carrot is Oh, so correct!

    Mulan, how tragic. I can understand your anger, as anger comes from pain. That poor family. I can only imagine how my own girls would feel if something like that had happened to me when I gave birth to Katie at age 40. They would have been devastated!

    Thanks Rcat, and what makes it all worse, is that my sister in law could have been saved with blood. The baby was stillborn, but it might not have happened if she hadn't been trying to have it at home. By the time they realized there was trouble, and went to the hospital, it was middle of the night and no specialists on duty. They pulled the baby out, with forceps, and we believe they killed him then. They ruptured an artery on my sister in law, with the forceps, and she bled out really fast, but surgery, did control things for a few hours, but she died that evening. All the time, the doctors were begging to be allowed to give her blood. My brother is still so bitter about that. He has been df'd since 1978, and never looked back. We were all true believers, though, and we shunned him for 17 years. On top of all the other pain he had, he lost the rest of his family.

    Marilyn,

    That is truly tragic! You know, the Society used to say that Christendom's spilled blood was heaped to the skies and running like rivers, but I think the Society's is much, much worse!

    Hugs to you and yours,

    It made me sad to see that you have no faith in the resurrection. You are a lost soul. One thing is to speak against the WT and another to rule out one of Jehovah's greatest gift, the resurrection of his servants.

    The Jehovah I read about in the Bible was a homicidal maniac and very emotionally warped. Is this the same merciful god you're speaking of, Godrules?

    I don't know if you are talking to me, GodRules, but I never said I had no faith in the resurrection, only that it brought no comfort. When there is a death, and a feeling of great loss, you just want them back NOW.

    Hello

    This caught my eye because of a phone call we received last night.
    Our cousin drowned yesterday inhis own fathers pool. Although he was 25 and most likely drinking, this doesn't make the pain any different.
    And out of 5 children this is the second son they have lost.

    What devastation!

    All these kids were raised around the org. The parents divorcing and abuse and hypocrisy is the reason reason these kids drink. Although the GOOD JW family, you couldn't tell them that. "It happened cause he's a drunk and not at the meetings."

    OH what anger one can possess at a moment like this....

    The division for decades that has gone on in this family and that WTBS is the main blame. They will answer. Yes, one does need to look in the mirror and take responsibility, but it is so hard for some babies that have been so abused and misled and guilt ridden.

    Compassion, forgiveness and mercy and love is what is needed at this time. Fat chance it will be flowing.

    Dad and Mom although remarried three times, may not truly see the root of the problem. Dad goes to meetings every blue moon, drinks but tells his kids its the truth and you need to be at meetings.

    Mom goes more, but casts stones and removes straws any opportunity she gets. But don't know how often SHE actually looks in the MIRROR.

    Oh sigh What a week ahead of us. BIG BIG family.
    Big stone throwers..........

    Just thought I'd share today

    With christian love

    (((((((Kim)))))))))) What I always tried to remember at a time like this, was to honor the deceased by not being one of the stone-throwers. Refuse to get sucked into their emotional games, and just honor the one who had died. My sympathy goes out to you. Big hugs!

    Hello Kim,

    I'm sorry about your family - the problems, drinking, and especially the deaths of young ones so dumbly lost. Falling into a pool is just a dumb lost, no good from it - just wrong place and wrong time, I guess.

    I'm sorry for your long week this week.

    I never looked forward to the resurrection. My father raped me for years - and deepdown, I paniced every time I thought of seeing him in the resurrection. He would know. What if Jehovah made it so I didn't remember the bad things? "He will wipe out every tear from your eye." But my father would still remember me and know - and I then would be totally unprotected, as I would be the dummy again - not even remembering what had happened to me.

    I finally came to the conclusion that hopefully God would put me on one side of the world and him on the other. Other than that, I couldn't see much good in it for me or my kind. "Trust in Jehovah."

    I didn't care for my mother too much either - she knew.

    waiting
