ventura county ca obituary notice: r0bert huter .
[i am posting this on behalf of a poster who wishes to remain anonymous...] .
this is an unofficial notice that r0bert 'bob' huter died suddenly last week.
Sad to hear this news. He lived a full and busy life - right to the end. I remember that he was always kind, attentive and approachable.
And I remember when Nancy went missing. 19months of non-closure. We looked everywhere. Even went door-to-door just looking for anyone who knew or saw anything that might help us find her.
RIP, Bob. Thank you for your kindness.

today my brother a non witness gave me a phone call.. .
he spoke about this, that and the other.
he then said that my oldest brother (an elder) was having his 25th wedding anniversary.

Such arrogance on the part of the elder. If said elder was offended, said elder should have left the event himself.
Sheesh~!
Tough call on this one. I tend to agree with Ouiblette's first suggestion to be the most gracious one. But... Other people make a good point. A second- or third-hand invite, is not an invite.
Maybe do something fun to celebrate your own life. Something fun and out-of-the-ordinary with your girlfriend.

so i said i would write about the 2014 convention program that you guys kindly posted here, to the jw friend who contacted me out of the blue after over 20 years since we d'ad.
sorry if you find this repetitive if you have already read my story.
this friend does not know anything about how my family shun me and i thought it is relevant in the light of the convention symposium talk about putting family in second place.

Be sure I know your motives are good and you want to save me from this wicked world to live in the New System. I worry about you in the same way, getting worn out and poorly working hard for something that isn’t true.
Simple. Respectful. Honest. Direct.
Perfect. I love it.
Thank you for sharing this.

LOL! This made me laugh~! Nice work with the visiting JWs. Maybe something you said will trigger a thought. Maybe not. But you never know.
Thanks for sharing.

my dear old dad was the po of a congregation.
he had been in the british marines during ww2.. one jolly day we were in the coach park at twickenham convention.. dad was watching the brothers and sisters getting off the coaches.. he looked at me and said quite pained: 'they all look like loonies.'.
i kid you not..
That's funny. Funny because it's true.
I hope that is a good memory for you.

today nothing feels right.
i feel like a bystander to all things.
as if im nowhere and have no forward progression.
Music and taking classes helped me alot during my transition.
This was before JWN and way before my first meet-up with XJW's. At the time I did not consider myself an 'X'; merely inactive due to conscience matters. So I kept my distance from non-JW's and JW's alike. All for far too long.
I don't remember your situation so will leave further comments for others.
All the best on your personal journey.

To find them you can do a search.
or... It might just be easier to glance back thru the past 20 pages of Active Topics.
