  i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

  she is on morphine and hanging on.

  she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

  So sorry to hear this Min. My mom was 71 when she died, so young. Your mom is your mom no matter how old. Even 89 is too young, We never want to give up our loved ones. When mine died I finally understood why all those authors and academy award winners dedicate their awards to their moms! I can say with full understanding, "I know what you are feeling." At least when mine was in her last months she said "The whole thing is bullshit" because no one rallied to support her in her final months.

  Why zombies?

  i just saw ww-v with brad pitt the other night (i know i am behind the times, still trying to catch up on movies i missed the last 30 years) and it struck me- why are we always fighting zombies?

  is it just easier to justify the carnage?

  it seems to me, that the most horrific carnage seems to be neighbor-vs-neighbor.

  Zombies must be shot in the head. Nothing else works. I think its a metaphor for all the crazy ideas people hold and how it leads to inhuman violence. Other than that its just a movie.

  Crazy Study Stories

  by dubstepped in

  i never really had any studies to speak of, but my parents did have many over the years, and every single one of them was batsh!t crazy in some way.

  there was one lady we kids affectionately termed "dirty robin" (her name was robin) and yes, she was very dirty.

  her kids were filthy and rarely wore clothes.

  I had one study who became a witness. He had intense OCD causing panic attacks. I would get calls at 1 am where he was having a panic attack. He worked in a fast food place and was convinced he got a drop of blood in someone's food from a scratch or small cut and was freaked Jehober would destroy him at the big "A". I had to talk him down. It was exhausting. Eventually he pio-nerd for awhile. (Just like his teacher, lol) He faded the whole Witness thing. Nice guy but really effected.

  I didn't have a lot of tolerance for crazies. Always passed them on to others more "empathetic", actually "desperate" for a study. I knew they wouldn't last long and would take gallons of gas to hunt down. Wasn't worth it.

  What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.

  by Zoos in

  when the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?

  i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.

  what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

  Since they are going to a buffet style service and self laundry its a bad time to be a waiter or laundry worker. On the other hand, cooks should do just fine. They will be sending waiters out to where the need is great, Dennys!

  All must be ready to obey...

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in view of the recent financial pressures being spun as opportunities to hasten armageddon, i think we should look again at the meaning behind their cultic warning of "all must be ready to obey intructions, whether appearing sound or not".

  by dripping these creepy injunctions into the watchtower study and therefore into the conditioned and receptive mind of the jw, how long will it be before they are able to decree something like this?......

  yesterday there was a horrific crash on a bridge here in seattle.

  a dukw (wwii amphibious truck) tourist cruise lost control and hit a charter bus full of exchange students head on.

  four dead and about a dozen seriously wounded, many more in less critical condition.yesterday, canlis restaurant, located near the scene and one of the most exclusive eateries in seattle, closed for the first time in its 65 year history and sent out its staff with food for the first responders.

  i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

  here is the email: .

  ---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

  Not everyone may have believed the info that the shutdown was upon them. Might be in denial. Or one operator thought it was still hush hush. Could be one was rouge and pissed about it or still in shock, Who knows? Too much evidence that construction is at a halt.
