  my poor mum fell over on sunday and broke her hip.

  she was taken to hospital and yesterday had an operation to place a pin in the joint.

  this was obviously a worrying time for all concerned and my dad let us all know what was going on.

  i've uploaded a video that discusses the dramatic jury verdict regarding the abuse suffered by candace conti, of which you are all aware.

  if you're not yet familiar with the story for any reason, please check out my blog article on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/general-information/the-watchtower-punished-society-loses-legal-battle-over-child-abuse-case.

  john hoyle suggested i get a youtube video out fairly quickly so that we can spread the message more effectively online.

  o cupid - cunning and ruthless one.. i have become weary from a desire.

  new and unknown to a blameless lad.. at one time flesh and resolve were.

  resistant to sin's allure; however, i am.

  No one would blame you if you did, Dear CoCo.

  Getting it off my chest.

  2. experiences

  hi all, i have been a "lurker" here for some time and feel like i want to share my experience in the hope that it relieves me of dark thoughts i can't shake.

  i was "brought into the truth" by a guy, he had to let me study with a girl of course but always had me ear marked to preach in bangladesh one day.

  fyi this is a guy who was disfellwoshipped many times and once shaved his head and sent it to bethel apparently it's something to do with some form of repentance in the bible or something?

  Hello and welcome Tamasin.

  Your story hits a little close to home, it sounds eerily familiar to circumstances of my own many years ago.

  Don't worry that your experiences may have "ruined any possible chance at a relationship with god"... allow all of your thoughts and doubts and theories to flourish, but don't fret about it (I was terrified but that was before there were supportive discussion boards such as this one.) You will ultimately find it marvelously freeing and oddly satisfying to not know the answers and be perfectly okay with that.

  Love,
  Baba.

  Hello back and thank you, Open Mind! CoCo it is so great to see you, too... and Flying High and Tammy and my Palmtree and MOUTHY!!!! Happy belated birthday, Mouthy my Dear!!! ... and... and...

  Sylvie, I wonder if the Epley maneuver might help? I had a terrible bout with dizziness a couple of years ago, and a dear friend recommended this (which my doctor strangely did not, yet it fixed my problem.)

  The Epley maneuver (or Epley's exercises) is a maneuver used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). [ 1 ] It is often performed by a doctor or a physical therapist, but can be performed by the patient at home. This maneuver was developed by Dr. John Epley and first described in 1980. [ 2 ]

  The procedure is as follows:

  1. Sit upright.
  2. Turn your head to the symptomatic side at a 45 degree angle, and lie on your back.
  3. Remain up to 5 minutes in this position.
  4. Turn your head 90 degrees to the other side.
  5. Remain up to 5 minutes in this position.
  6. Roll your body onto your side in the direction you are facing; now you are pointing your head nose down.
  7. Remain up to 5 minutes in this position.
  8. Go back to the sitting position and remain up to 30 seconds in this position.

  The entire procedure should be repeated two more times, for a total of three times.

  During every step of this procedure the patient may experience some dizziness.
