  my ex is dying and my four children are to lose their father.

  yes, they are grown (26-20), but still too young to lose their father.

  also, he did not know how to be a dad, he was their father, but not a dad if you know what i mean.

  (((((Deb)))))

  No, being grown does not ease the pain of losing a parent. Our thoughts are with you and your children.

  Please keep coming back and update us on the situation. This is no kind of burden for us and we want to give our support and encouragement however we can.

  Best Regards,

  What was the silliest thing they told you NOT to do?

  there was some really piddily-crap that i remember.. for instance, when i was about 17 toe-rings became popular, and one of the sisters bought one....wore it to the kh during the summer with her sandals.

  my best friend in the hall wanted one, which of course caused this huge debate about whether it would be okay 'in jehovah's eyes', and didn't it go against the scripture that counsels women against "bodily adornment", blah-blah-blah.

  toe rings??!

  Not to ask "what do you think about that?", but say instead "how do you feel about that?".

  That's a good one because while I was in the org and for along time after, the two things I felt most often were fear and anger. I wonder how many others "felt the same way"?

  I was told not to wear a nit tie.

  Not to say "bless you" when someone sneezes . . . it was superstitious or something.

  Not to wear make up . . . whoops, I meant . . .

  not to wrestle . . . ? geez. The brother I studied with at 15 saw me and his son in the backyard horseplaying. I was teaching him how to roll and toss a guy like you see indians do in the movies. He asked, "what are you doing?" I said, showing Michael how to flip someone (Michael was having the time of his life, prolly for the first time ever). He then said indignantly, "would Jesus do that?" I said I didn't suppose he would. The the brother says tersely, "well, then you don't do it either!" He then made Michael go do some yard work and sent me home.

  i can't say i don't have emotional investment in this board, which is probably one reason i get riled sometimes.

  i didn't mean to hurt any feelings by calling those particular threads stupid and ya i snapped.

  allo folks.... .

  please tell me if you think a jehovah's witness could read crisis of concience and continue to be a jw after finishing it?

  since i have heard vague stories that there are some who have continued to be a jw, please relate the story and how you think this could be.

  I'll tell you something; if anyone can remain in or go back to the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses after seeing first hand the documentation presented in that book, Crisis of Conscience, there is something terribly wrong with that person's "love of the truth".

  I was so darn angry after reading it, that I spent my entire youth, no, WASTED my entire youth in that religion. But the understanding and insight the book gives about the organization is priceless.

  I don't know of anyone who has read it that has stayed in or has gone back.

  Valis, although I have not been frequenting this board as long as you have, I too have an emotional investment here. I too, would like to apologize for coming on so strong. I am nothing if not tenacious sometimes. I have read many of your posts and threads and you normally have something of value to contribute, especially when it really matters.

  I would also like to apologize to anyone and everyone else who might have taken exception to the controversy I started. All I can say is that I felt something needed to be said.

  Valis, regarding the your thread regarding your precious children, I was not attacking the content, for I did not actually read its contents. If I had have known it was something of that nature would not have dared. I was going by the title only, and I am truly sorry. I love my children and I love them fiercely. Please take my humble apology.

  To Simon; forgive my lip and excuse my manners. I am humbly asking to be reinstated (god, this is ironic) to this board under my former alias, "Corvin". I feel that I have much to learn from many of the good folks here at JWD, and I also have much yet to contribute. If you think not, well, I understand.

  Best Regards To All,

  Corvin
