he once had the hard rugged and handsome face of a hollywood film star.

he was one of those i feared completely indoctinated,enforcing his indoctrination with out love.

everything anybody did for the organisation was a privalige and all outside organisations were apart of the world, this included law inforcement.

It's almost like they are true masochists and enjoy the pain they create for themselves.

It's the reward for the persecution complex they so proudly wear.

It's a truly f'ed-up mind and thought process.

So glad I'm out of that damn cult.

Generally the mods prefer that you provide them with links to the posts in question.

The current admins that I know of are: Simon, Angharad, Scully and jgnat.

I hope this helps.

What has happened to AJWRB?

does anyone know what going on with ajwrb's website?.

"this domain maybe for sale!

buy it now!

@steve2 - Are you referring to AJWRB or perhaps you are thinking of AAWA??

They are two completely (??) different organizations. AJWRB dealt with Blood reform. AAWA dealt with Advocates about Watchtower Abuse.

I never got a 'snot-nose' vibe from AJWRB, but it's also been years since I've been to that site.

So George Takei posted a JW pic on his Facebook

http://www.facebook.com/georgehtakei.

it's just a silly door-knocking related picture, but it's generated a bit of arguing about how he shouldn't make fun of them.

plus there are some apologist/"apostate" facebook wars... the best kind of wars, right?!

Yikes! I just clicked the link and had to scroll down a little bit to find the photo. I thought it was funny.

THEN one comment was separate from the others. A friend of mine from old cong in the 1970's made a comment~!! I thought this person was fully out but from the comment, I'm not so sure now.

I still think the photo is cute.

Ahh... *NOW* there is a reply box for me....

Jesse - First of all, Welcome to JWN. Really nice to have you join us. And even nicer to have such a nice intro. I think most of us understand where you are with this family situation. At least from the JW side. The other excentricities of your dad, we probably have lesser insight to that aspect.

Secondly, I am so very interested in the comment you made about your dad telling you that you and your children will die. (I forget your exact words.) I was captivated by that phrase because for the past 90 minutes I've been trying to find a way to respond to my inactive, but still believing former acquaintance from my old hall. She sent me a text in hopes that we could talk as her ex-husband has been telling her the same thing: She, their girls and the 2 grandchildren will die because she does not attend meetings. She is having tremendous anxiety over this. So your comment in your post was fascinating to me.

Welcome again. I look forward to hearing more of your story.

HANDLING CHEMOTHERAPY - Advice anyone?
by hamsterbait in
1. jw
2. friends
i have just been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (tuesday).. the consultant told me i am to get a scan to see how far it has spread.. i am going to have surgery to remove it, then chemotherapy with a break in the middle.. strange to say i am more terrified of dying under the anesthetic than anything.

but i have a fear of nausea and vomiting, which chemo caused in all my relatives who have had it.. any advice for coping with this?.

I am a cancer-survivor (16 years this coming May) and was preparing a response for you. But I cannot do much better than cofty.

Take everything one step at a time. Don't borrow trouble. Communicate with your treatment team. DO keep your life going. Do look into a local cancer support group and take what works for you and leave the rest behind.

Not all cancers are the same. Not all treatments are the same. Your reaction to each of your identical treatments may or may not be the same.

I went thru 6months of brutal chemo but hardly any nausea. My oncologist was good about giving me meds to control it.

My best wishes for full recovery and a happy life during and after treatment.
