before my dad went into surgery he asked that i contact the people on this board and let them know how much it ment to him much it ment to him over the past month or so to be able to talk with all of you.. this is one of the few things in his life he could still enjoy.dad wanted to especially thank craig (ona ) for accepting him and apologies for anything he said that might have offended you.. my father was in so much pain over the past seven years ,god must have thought it was time,dad passed a few houres after surgery.. dad asked not to have a service and will be cremated than placed in an urn ( as he said "so he can keep an eye on mom" ) we all loved him deeply and he will be missed.
i will leave the company email should anyone want to,i will print them out for mom and the family to read.. again thanks to all, our love is with each and every one of you.. matthew mc cune [email protected]

this is probably going to be the most difficult thing i have ever written.
but, since i dont plan on being around [here] much longer, what the hell?
for some time now, we have discussed and expressed our outrage and horror at child molestation.

Welcome to the Board.

i was just thinking after reading some of the posts, and wanted to ask you something..... do any of you feel, and i mean right in the back of your minds, that jws might still have the true faith (truth).
i've been inactive for a few years now and don't attend meetings at the kh, apart from the memorial, and occasional convention.
please don't shout me down, its just that to me, even though i've been out for a while and my reasons for "drifting" away were very painful to me, i don't feel as the majority do here.
Hi Scoobysnax,
You asked:
do any of you feel, and I mean right in the back of your minds, that JWs might still have the true faith (Truth).
Yes, I do sometimes, and that the apostates are leading Jehovah's honest hearted people astray. Especially when an elder will stop by with the magazines and assure me of the congregation's love. That's when it helps to remember how deceitfully the Watchtower has dealt with us. Research the UN, Mexico/Malawi political hypocrisy, and of course the Silent Lambs issue.
Best wishes to you.

<p>i am a much happier person now that i've excepted the fact that i will die one day.
</p> <p>for 23 years i've been brought up in the jehovahs witness religion, and recently i found myself on the outside looking in, not the inside desperately seeking the answer and trying to please god, feeling guilty when i missed meetings etc...but no more.
it's taken a while to de-program myself in thier way of thinking.
Hi Pink Dot, and Welcome. Thanks for sharing your story.

my brother (raised a jw, never baptized, not a jw at all) and i were talking this morning, and he informed me that our grandmother - our last living grandparent - is very ill. it sounds as though she will die soon, because she stopped taking her insulin and all other medications.
my mother informed my brother after receiving a phone call from her brother/my uncle.. i'm the only one of my siblings who was not informed directly by our mother.
out of all my siblings, i'm the only one who was baptized as a jw and then left, so i'm thinking this is par for the course with being shunned, although my grandmother was never a jw herself.
((((Scully))))))
I agree with OFC and others. Go see your Gram and screw the parents.

and my heart is breaking!..we just had it confirmed today.
he has 9 months to live so they say.
among all the heartbreak and pain he is crying and begging me to go to the kingdom hall with him.
(((((((Golden Girl)))))))))
I am so sorry. The prospect of losing a mate has to be one of the hardest things we face.
When my mother was dying of cancer 2 years ago, I crawled up in her bed and told her that i was going to start going back to the hall and that my brother was interested, too. i told her I would see her in paradise. I don't care that I lied and I would do it again.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

since watchtower attempted to "ruin the earth" they were required to post $25,000.00 bond in their cleanup effort.
if watchtower continues to comply with the law of the land, $20,000.00 of the $50,000.00 fine is suspended.

Sentinel,
You can be sure if Brother Farmer's cow manure ran into a local stream and polluted the waterways, and a case was brought against him that hit the local newspaper, he would be hauled in for some "loving counsel" real quick.

Deddaisy,
Yes, I would be interested in that information. Not sure if I'll be able to understand it,though
I tried to follow sKally's threads but got lost somehow. I'm just taking a wild guess, and this is only a guess, can Watchtower be drilling or mining(?) for oil shale as alternative energy for one of their many holdings. I'm not trying to say something that will be taken by lurkers as making false accusations against watchtower. Just asking questions. Thank you.
