You are doing good Roberta.
It's hard watching a loved one go . But you are keeping a rational mind.
I admire you for taking care of your Mother for these last years.
Protect her as best as you can, so she has a peaceful journey.
Love and peace to you and your Family

Ha, in the first pic Pops is smoking.
my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .
j dubb...
Since we are going to all have perfect bods.
I prefer to take the French sensibilities. Swimming the St. Tropez way.
for those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.
Taliking about it is one thing. doing it is another.....Look at those bloody photos. Repulsive to everyone!
We are far from the mideast and I really dont think anyone would have the stomach for it.
But that is just my feelings.

I dont know Borges.
While still a JW mom, I woud have given my children blood and let god take it out on me. You would die for your children. Right?
I cant imagine stoning someone.
The elders I have known, I cant imagine them stoning anyone. But they would let a family member die over the blood issue.
My mom recently told me ,,,have it in writing or you dont get blood. Funny, becasue I respect her wishes.
I Imagine if you cant comprhend the thought , you are not like them.
last night the folks on the weather channell were referring to our rainstorm as "the mess in the west.
" they always have to have a catch phrase, don't they.
i understand oregon is getting dumped on, up to a foot of rain in some areas, but we're closer to the southern end of the storm and they say we're just getting a few inches.. anway, isn't rain glorious?
Frosty mess in the West
30 degrees in the west coastal areas.
Cover your citris and succulents tonight.
Maybe wrap up your pipes with Bound Volumes of paper too.

Bondie, I noticed something simular.
As I kid , my dad being an elder , I was attached to his satus. good
When I was married, I was attached to my husbands status. weak
But, as a single female. invisable
