  Update on my daughter Ali... finally some good news!

  by coffee_black in

  i've posted several times over the past 6 months about my daughter, ali's severe heart failure due to a virus.

  it has been a roller coaster ride.

  recently her leads from her pacemaker and defibrilator became displaced due to strong coughing due to bronchitis.

  HBO: Game of Thrones

  i haven't read the wildly popular books, but i've found the new hbo television series, game of thrones to be quite entertaining.

  so far, two episodes have aired, and i think i'm hooked.

  there are more than a few interesting characters, both good, bad and in between.

  Watched the first episode last night, will watch the second tonight. I had to sit with my iPhone open on HBOs website so I could figure out who was who and how the characters were inter-connected. Kind of confusing. I'm not sure if I'm hooked yet. The blond gal whose brother married her off to the heathen King-well, I felt sorry for her. The dwarf was annoying.

  I did notice a lot of doggy style action going on. That director and/or writer must have some wild fantasies.

  Too many "J"s. Everyone in my family, on one side, has names starting with "J"s. I H-A-T-E it.

  Let them have their own idenity.

  Is this a forum for JW issues or a poorly designed political and celebrity site?

  by Band on the Run in

  it appears to me that even in the few months that i have been here there is less and less emphasis on jehovah's witnesses and anything remotely related to jws and more very poor posts about politics, foreign affairs and celebrities.

  i can't omit the juvenile sex ones, which i find lacking in erotic nature.

  it seems the 6th grade boys are meeting in the locker room.. the posts that involve jws have a very different tone from the drivel posted on others.

  BOTR, I doubt many here have as much education as you-unless they are a PhD.

  That said, you do throw up the fact that you are an attorney, work in NYC, have a family with WTC ties, yada, yada, yada.

  We get it. Good for you. You go girl.

  BTW, lots of us do have degrees and even advanced degrees. We just prefer not to tell the world in an effort to keep our private life just that-private. We don't want our relatives to know who we are. At this point if any of your old JW friends and relatives are reading this public board they probably have figured out by now who you are. Not too many Ex-JWs with your credentials.

  I post on all kinds of threads and read all kinds. I do it for my own reasons. Like everyone here and all the reasons above.

  I'll have a martini, please. Vodka.

  mag available here.

  setting is obviously in the "new system", i'd say quite some time after the big a. everything looks neat and clean, so it can't be just few months or even years after the big slaughter.. let me point out few things that made me laugh:.

  every effort was made to depict natural materials, but you see leather straps with metal rivets holding the picnic basket lids.

  Oh come on, you know the standard JW answer "Jehovah will take care of it".

  As to the petro based elastic and refrigerated ice cubes-those are the items they saved when they raided the Worldlies homes. Didn't you secretly have a nice neighborhood home you staked out and let other peeps in the cong know was going to be "yours" after the Big A?

  We know you did.

  So, they are just utilizing the things Jehovah let them save. Why waste valuable time and energy making and spinning cloth when there are billions of dead bodies to bury?

  some members of the board are aware that i have been having health problems.

  i didn't ask them to keep it secret and so am not sure if any other posters on this forum knew about it.

  for those of you who may care, here is my update:.

  I received an e-mail from my mother who got a YouTube video of it from my Elder cousin.

  Here is an excerpt of her response:

  Hi XYZ,
  
  It worked. Don't know why the first one didn't open. This brutal attack by
  a gang of dangerous thugs is just horrible! The poor brothers were injured
  and a lot of blood was on the floor at the entry door where the lunatic thugs
  attacked them as they were celebrating the Memorial on Sunday evening.
  
  The stupid thugs even video'd their attack and posted it on the internet where
  the Police can identify them and arrest them!
  
  Whoever organized and inspired these thugs to commit this crime should
  be caught and put in jail. Then sued for all the injuries and property
  damage he/they instigated in this riot! It would have been nice if the Police
  arrested ALL the thugs, fined them and made them pay for all damages
  and injuries! They should also be sued for pain and suffering injuries.
  
  Lunatics like that only understand the language of money (which they worship as
  their true god) and when they get hit in the pocket, suddenly they become very aware of
  behaving nicely to people, avoiding conflicts and not ever participating in being an
  angry mob member!
  
  Likely the congregation members delivered invitations to some of these people/thugs
  at their homes. The thugs then went on the Internet and invited all J.W. haters to
  participate in attacking the true Christians during their peaceful celebration of the
  Memorial!

  Thugs are true lovers of violence and brutality; evidence their "religion" never
  taught them peace and non-violence, nor love of their neighbor! Likely, from one side
  of their mouths, they claim to be Christians. From the other side of their mouths, they
  prove by their actions and slanders what they really are: brutal low lifes and common
  criminals.
  
  I will pass this along again.

  ...those days of tacit acceptance may soon be over, however.

  lawmakers in tehran have recently proposed a bill in parliament that would criminalize dog ownership, formally enshrining its punishment within the country's islamic penal code.

  But they have nothing against cats?

  Cats are banned. They just won't arrest and fine you for having one. Unclean, western culture, etc.

  Meow.
