before i explain why, i've never really given anyone a background on myself, even though i've been a member here for 2 1/2 years.
so i'll try and make this quick.. i was raised a jw my whole life.
i know many jw's in the seattle area and eastside.
sorry to hear of the loss ((((Jimbob & Ms Jimbob))))
I know you may be dreading it now, to set foot in a KH, but when I had to for my dad's and then my f-i-l's memorial, it was surreal. The JWs were more afraid of me and my family than I of them. (Of course a nice shot of rum in the parking lot helped calm me down )
Remember, you know more than the average JW and they are the ones under the influence of a "cult".
Let us know how it goes.
Hugs,
Joy

suit against sect members can proceed.
the globe and mail (canada), saturday, february 26, 2005 - page a7.
ozzie, after been away for more then 12,5 years, i refound some old bottles of wine.
since i am no expert on wine (i only know what i like to drink) i wonder: should i put these bottles where i find them?
drink them?
ok, just an antidote here.
My husband used to make wine. But one year the batch all turned to vinegar. Well, his mom said she would use the vinegar wine in her cooking, to bring it to her. So the next time Steve was at his parents, which happened to be at a family member's funeral. We lived 150 miles from his parents at the time. He goes by his parents house before going to the KH to drop off several gallons of "wine" but the house was already locked. So he left the bottles on the door step because he was running late for the funeral. Some sisters? came to the house to prepare a meal for the family during the furneral services. They took the bottles inside and placed some on the dinning table. Well, when everyone was sitting down eating the meal, people started drinking the "wine" and nearly choked, spitting the vinegar out of their mouths!! Steve then figured out these sisters had picked up his "wine" and served it by accident.
Word to the wise, always smell and sip your wine first.
At least it lighten up the mood at that funeral meal.
blood transfusions kill patients, say doctors .
(picture: your health daily logo) february 11 1999
london (nyt syndicate) -- blood transfusions given routinely to tens of thousands of critically ill patients may be killing them, doctors have found.
ok troll JW Ben.......what doctors? in what medical journal? sensationalized rag magazines that sprew headlines do not make for scientific data.
was serving at Bethel in 1975.......wonder why we left to have a family?
I don't, I just wonder why it took so long to "wake up".
it'll be 21 years ago since my dad died.. i remember it vividly.
i got into work to find a message to ring my mum urgently.
she told me he'd had a massive cardiac infarction and died at 9.30 that morning.
((((Mike))))
many great men gave their lives for the WT dream.
I'm glad he told you that he loved you "no matter what".
cheers to remembering good men.
real time with bill maher plays on hbo throughout the week.
the new show was on last night, and during the discussion, he started in on religion and talked about jehovah's witnesses and michael jackson's upbringing, including no birthday celebrations.
try to catch it, if you can.
I loved the way Bill Maher was talking about the Muslims ruling in Iraq and how crazy their religion was. Then he stated he was watching VH1 and how Michael Jackson was raised a JW and how guilty Michael was just throwing a birthday party for his mother.
Wasn't hard to connect the dots that he thought the crazy Muslims and JWs were similar with their crazy behavior and doctrines.
at this week's service meeting it a letter was read to all congregations in usa:
bethel wants lawyers, lawyers specializing in tax law, and cpa's.
if you are in any of these professions you were supposed to talk to the po that evening.
franklinJ :
Bethel found out about him and offered to pay his student loans if he became the dentist at Bethel, which he did until the early 80s.
oh gawd, he was awful. If I were you, I wouldn't even mention that I know him. lol
