Reconnecting with an old friend
by dissed inmy wifes biggest complaint about the jw's is what they do to families, they tear them apart.
whether for disfellowsipping, or the so-called bad association, the gb needs to separate them from you, so you won't separate yourself from the gb.. she laments that her bestess of friends from childhood was taken away from her by the jw's.
true, she tried to witness to her after college but debbie respectfully listened and decided it wasn't for her.

i have reconnected with some even though i am still officially in and trying to fade. it has been wonderful and although we dont agree on things, we have our own thoughts and ideas and after much picking on one another, we respect each for their choices. that is so great that after all that time, there is still a connection for her. congrats.

Funeral program from Michael Jacksons memorial/message from Rebbie
by Pandoras cat11 ini know there have been many mj threads and probably everyone is sick to death of hearing of this event---but i just had to share this message from the funeral program.
one of our local dj's was able to go to the staples center and attend this memorial and he shared the program on the radio stations website.
the website wouldn't let me cut and paste it here, so i will write word for word what rebbie (his sister) wrote to him.. i love you so much and i'm looking forward to the time when i'll see you again on earth (john 5:28-29).

i have a relative who is an EMT. he has seen a number of accidents and responded to some really horrible things. he told the story of an accident where there was a decapitation involved. he said people just stood and tried to see as much as they could. even kids. for me, not what i want to do. but people are just strange about things like that.

Is Danny Granger (NBA player) an active JW?
by SuspiciousMinds insomeone included danny granger in the thread about celebrity and athlete jws.
i never realized this but i looked up some news articles that confirmed he has stated he was brought up as a jw.. does anyone know if he is still an active jw, or if he was ever baptized?
anyone who lives in indiana or who follows the nba that might have some info?.

raised but never dedicated. i believe he is now living with his girlfriend. pretty sure he was not baptized. he speaks well of the jws though. i heard once from someone who "supposedly" knew the family that his dad pushed him pretty hard in the direction of college and basketball because he was so talented.

i did not want to hijack the other thread on KH funerals. when i got married, my wife and i were married at the KH. i wanted a particular family member as my best man but because he was not a baptized brother, they would not allow it. i was told that if i wanted to use him, i could get married somewhere else and i would have to find another brother to perform the marriage vows. this all happened 4 days before the wedding. we had already paid for the tux, and the invitation printed with the wedding party. there was no way that we could secure another place in 4 days. to say that my relative was pi$$ed is not even close to what happened. he came to the wedding for me and my wife, but to this day he will not have anything to do with witnesses. he was always very favorable up to that point. what really bothered me though was that there was a wedding only a short time after ours and they let someone in who was only studying and was known for still living a "debauched lifestyle".

Puppeting the Message
by Hope4Others inquite a few years back i had various pioneer friends who were asked to give experiences at the circuit conventions.. they were to write up there experience first give it to the elder and they would go over it.. however, when it came time for this the elder who was giving the part decided to change their experience and it did not.
and was not even truthful now, it was not how it happened.
my one friend in particular was very upset about this because.
