i have recently been in fairly regular contact with a long - time jw friend who, despite my da status, decided to put our 25 - year long friendship before the shunning doctrine.
she has visited me, discreetly of course, several times, and has read on jwd and other sites when she has been here.
she recently watched some of the child abuse videos on silentlambs, and all she has seen has caused her to doubt the truth of the wts, after 45 years as a baptised jw, with many of those years spent regular pioneering.. it was the local dc a couple of weeks ago, and she only went for half a day, and missed the rest of the sessions, and she hasn't been attending all of the meetings lately either.
Marion,
Don't believe you wasted those years of your life I don't want this to sound cliche but,
God works all things together for good, who knows what he has in store for you (or me)
I really believe this, I have to believe this.
Your story is touching welcome

I cannot believe how long he talks to you ......when he was supposed to be on his way out.
He was getting his field service time in.
ok the first time i thought it was pretty cool how they applied every little scripture to themselves.
i sat rapt with my young children while we discussed wonderful things to come.
the second time i was like...where's my old book with all the notes in the margins, im not looking all this sh-t up again!.
God had a channel for communicating Revelation in John's day, and John was the earthly part of that channel. Likewise,God has a channel for giving spiritual nourishment to his 'slaves' today.
The reason for publishing this book is the need to keep up-to-date with present truth.Jehovah is continually shedding greater light on the meaning of his Word, and we can expect that our understanding of Revelation, along with other prophecies, will be sharpened as we draw closer to the great tribulation.
Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observes the things written in it; for the appointed time is near.

i know this is slightly off-topic but i find alot of the discussion here somewhat depressing and most of it is far too cerebral for me.
i (obviously) live in america and i'm a big fan of beer.
light, dark, lager, ale, whatever.
Whatever is on sale at the beer distibutor.
Yuengling Lager is local favorite oldest brewery in USA brewed locally.

does anyone have any factual information as to whether or not blood is ever given to a cancer patient?
i know this is a very generalized question without specifics, however, it's the only starting point i have.

Good thing you got over JW,s before you got cancer. Hope your doing better.
My brother in-law had cancer. The hospital wanted to store some of his blood so that when he had chemo-therapy he could use it.Transfusions are done to strengthen you after the chemo, the chemo wipes you out. A big part of the reason for transfusions is the white blood cells which boost your immune system.
My brother in-law was ready to sacrifice himself to the WTBS, fortunately he recovered
though he probably made it harder on himself.
do they live forever in the paradise?.
there won't be any scavengers to cleanup.
( come to think of it will maggots and worms be vegetarians?).

born and raised as one faded when I was 36
The whole animal thing is quite a puzzle is all.

Very interesting reference I never read that before.
So Jehovah created animals in the paradise only to live for a while, and then die.
i know that sounds weird.
i am pregnant with my first child and my mom is visiting me for a few days.
i was laying on the couch taking a nap and she was sitting down and reading to my stomach.
Ask your mom if she read to her belly when she was pregnant with you.
If she says yes tell her it didn't work on me knock it off.
If she says no tell her that's why I am the way I am.
Actually, just tell her stay away from my gut or I'll give you five across your lips.
we always seem to get focused on the bad - and there is plenty of it for sure - and anyone who follows my posts knows i am no wt apologist by any stretch.
but focusing on the postive is a good thing in the 'moving on' process i think too.
what do you think jw's had right?.
Ignorance is bliss
Seeing my parents and other older ones who live their lives out never having a thought about dieing except for maybe their last couple of years.
do they live forever in the paradise?.
there won't be any scavengers to cleanup.

Do they live forever in the paradise?
If not what do we do with them?
There won't be any scavengers to cleanup.( come to think of it will maggots and worms be vegetarians?)
Why not use the animals for food or whatever seems to be a waste to just bury them if and when they would die.
