  Eric Reeder's Memorial?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen the insulting obituary and like all of you, i'm blown away.. i've also seen several threads of individuals crying out for an opportunity to meet with others on this board.

  maybe it's time to recognize the need for an assembly (if you will) to foster a familial relationship for those on this board!.

  what if a memorial were planned, in eric's honor of course, for a weekend next september in north carolina?

  Just Heard Some Shocking News

  2. child-abuse

  a predatory jw paedophile micheal porter (uk) who has a 15 year record of abuse including the rape of his own baby but somehow evaded jail now is a member of my old congregation;wimbledon.

  words fail me, to think of the years of shunning that these idiots have heaped upon me even by my own family and this piece of shit was seen a this years memorial laughing and joking with the congregation.

  strange that this news story slipped passed me when it was broadcast by the british media in 2007..

  Still Feeling Lost...What to Do Next?

  by daringhart13 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm wondering how many of you still feeling a burning need to know god and have a relationship with him.. i am dealing with the horrible emotions of having faded, done some things that would be considered immoral, stopped praying (not sure i ever prayed right) and generally just feeling lost...... what have some of you done to get back on track?

  i've been fading for a year and a half.

  missing my first dc..... ugh.....having a crappy morning i guess...... just feel like i want to talk to god, but can't.. ironic, huh?

  july 4th is my birth date...and no matter what i say, they insist on lighting off fireworks and throwing a parade !

  i saw the thread about being tired of one's job...and it got me thinking.

  while there are things about my job that i'm not particularly fond of (like the paperwork) i have to say i really have nothing to complain about... here are a few reasons why...some of the fun stuff.... as part of my job i attend csi meetings (construction specifications institute) we have monthly dinner meetings, usually at maggiano's in boston.

  last month we had a special event and toured the new shalin liu center for chamber music in rockport, ma it was designed by one of the firms i call on.... sits on the water...fabulous site.

  Did you really pay attention at conventions or assemblies?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a co-worker of mine whose family (2 daughters, wife) are jw's related a funny story yesterday.

  his wife and daughters missed the friday portion of the convention last week in order to attend a wedding of a worldly relative.

  at dinner she mentioned to him that she would go to the convention this friday to make up for the one she missed.. he then asked why and she said so she could get the information she missed.
