How does one cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a parent?

by My Name is of No Consequence in

my dad died of a blood clot as a result of surgery late last year.

to say that his death created a bottomless void in our family is an understatement.

i think about him every day, sometimes constantly.

LoisLane looking for Superman

I am so sorry for your loss. To have someone you love die, is the most horrible feeling. And then to go suddenly, when it had been expected that he was going to be getting better, it is so hard to accept.

Once you get past the grieving, and accept that he is truly gone, I hope, in time, you will enjoy each day of remembering what a great father you had. To allow his love to be all embracing for you. That in time, his memory will give you a serge of joy and happiness... that you were truly loved by a wonderful man. Wouldn't that have made him happy? That his love for you made you a better, stronger person? Are you able to show that kind of wonderful personality your dad had to others? To be as loving and thoughtful as him? A little bit? If so, then it would be as if he were still by your side, helping you, help others.

So sorry what you and your mom have gone through and are going through still. It is so painful having to get rid of possessions that hold so many happy memories. Do you absolutely need to sell the house?

Hugs from a concerned internet friend.

Tony Morris Shows Off Engraved Gold Ring with Turquoise Birthstone(?)

by Funchback in

the july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.

maybe it's not a big deal.

maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.

LoisLane looking for Superman

It doesn't matter what jewelry or clothes he wears... But it is hypercritical to wear jewelry... yet tell little children to give up their ice cream money to "further Kingdom interests".

He looks like he treats himself to anything he wants, ice cream, gold rings, international travel, adoring fans. And he lives in a "many room palatial estate" on the lake with maids, chauffeurs, free health care and anything his little heart desires. He listens to voices that tell him he is "special" and God has picked him because of this specialness. He's a fruit cake with supposedly 8 million adoring fans.

Looking for Scottish Ex-JW's to share their experiences (If out obviously)

Wearing kilts... So if you are born and bred Scottish, you cannot wear a kilt to a wedding? Can you wear it to a regular kingdom hall? Or at a convention?

Now adays, would different clans with their own specific color and wool patterns... cause division (?) in the christian congregation?

In Scotland, are there wool colors and patterns for the 'common man' to wear with out any ties to a clan?

Is there still problems because of the Jacobites?

Is a Scotsman dressed up in Highland kilt, welcomed down in the South dressed this way at an English Convention as a visitor?

Who is benefiting from Watchtower Corporation financially

by John Davis in

who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.

i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.

so who do you think is keeping all of this money.

LoisLane looking for Superman

I think a lot of people are naive.

How do you wear a Rolex and yet keep begging for money, even telling children to give GB their ice cream money.

Narcissist's are what the GB are and power is their game. They never have enough of anything.

Watchtower Study June 18 from April 2017 issue

by BluesBrother in

https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2017/judge-of-all-earth-always-does-what-is-right/.

the judge of all the earth always does what is right.

intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?

@Hecce: I am not allowed PM's but I want to add to your above comment.

Nathan Knorr made a comment in a semi private moment for the reason he got married. He said sisters were "throwing themselves at him all over the world, where ever he went and he didn't like it, so to put a stop to it, he picked a nice American pioneer sister and marrried her." Case closed.

The Society always frowned on marriage. It was easier to use single people for their unpaid labor. Then, put a carrot in front of them and tell them they are working for God now... and in the future... God will reward them for their righteous works...

Fidel Castro and the WT

by Hecce in

i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.

you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.

during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

@Hecce. I apologize. I cannot send PM's but I would like to share something with you.

This is in referencing your post from 4 months ago when you are discussing 2 DO's in Cuba.

In Africa there was a German missionary that liked beer when it was hot. It is hot in Africa a lot.

He would take a little money from the cash drawer at Bethel to go buy himself a beer. Brooklyn from their Ivory Tower kicked this long standing hard working missionary/Bethel Elder out of the home for stealing. He had to borrow money for his and his missionary wife's passage home.

When they got home they were now snubbed by their home congregation and not only was he never appointed an Elder again, he and his wife were strikingly hardly ever, called on to comment no matter how many hands were up or if no one had their hands up to comment.

They were ignored.

The Governing Body are such fat cats. Every bodily comfort is theirs.

That former missionary is dead now. Before Alzheimer's attacked his brain, I wonder if he woke up to TTATT.

in newcastle town centre.

uk.. the chronicle live.

15 june 2017.. a council worker will stand trial after he was accused of being drunk at the wheel of his road sweeper in newcastle city centre.. john paul carruthers, who has since resigned from his post at newcastle city council, was allegedly over the legal drink-drive limit when he ploughed into a jehovah’s witness stand on northumberland street near to haymarket metro station.. prosecuting, james long told newcastle magistrates’ court: “the allegation is that he was driving a newcastle city council road sweeper when he collided first with a jehovah’s witness stand next to haymarket metro station.

LoisLane looking for Superman

As the short video shows from yesterday, the man arrested and put on the ground by the police, was getting handcuffs put on him because he ploughed into a Jehovah's Witness STAND not into any human being with family and friends. The STAND has no feelings...

Even though JW..org has a cartoon to show a singing cart... They really can't sing... And they are not real...
