April, I had a botched thyroid surgery. That is what caused my breathing difficulties. I haven't been the same since. If the doctors can't get meds to control it, I want the trach back in. I was serious as a heart attack when I told the doctor that.
That is horrible! My friend is having a lot of thyroid issues and may need surgery. I really hope things go better for her than your result because the poor girl has enough on her plate already. :( I would want the trach back in, too, if it was the difference between being able to breathe or not! *Hugs*

Clothing in the New Order
by donny inthe society teaches that once the new order is up and running, we will achieve perfection as adam and eve once were.
if thats the case, why do they portray folks in the new order as fully clothed?
i thought clothing was the result of sin, so once sin is eliminated, should not clothing be also?

It wasn't him, then...one news article said firefighters were putting out the fire at around 1:55pm Saturday afternoon (I imagine Central Time). Whew!!!

The most inappropriate remarks from Jehovahs Witnesses
by jambon1 ini have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.
1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".
sick, sick, sick!

I know, I was just teasing. :D
I definitely agree it was a totally inappropriate and uncalled for comment. I swear they will try to make something out of ANYTHING when they want to DF an inactive member. Can't have the congregation thinking you can just leave without punishment and ultimate shunning or more members might decide to do the same! -

How many Jehovah's Witnesses does it take to change a light bulb?
Twelve. They all live in Brooklyn, and they have to keep changing it every day for "new light."
Three. One to screw in the bulb, and two to knock on your door and ask you if you've seen the light!
None. They're always getting "new light" from Brooklyn.
Nobody knows, they haven't seen the light YET. -

My response would have been "Well, Brother Rutherford, I can guarantee you will never get a 'bone' from THIS 'hunk of hair'!"
As for the Elder who wouldn't visit your father himself but told your mother it was "her responsibility"...what a hypocrite! (Not that I'm surprised or anything.) -

My First Post!!!
by IreallydidwalkoutofaKH inafter a year of reading all of your experiences and expressions i decided it was time for me to start sharing some of mine.
hopefully they can benefit others, like many of yours have benefited me!
being raised in the wtbts, the jehovahs witness docrine and culture really was the prism from which all of my experiences and understanding of life originated.

I never heard the Smurf thing either, Hortensia. But I do remember the "demon-possessed" Sprite/Star Brite doll stories in the 80's. Obviously I couldn't have one. I also remember the warnings about yard sale/thrift store items possibly being "demonic". So pretty much...you gotta be poor but you can't get your stuff used for fear of bringing demons into the home.
