Good to hear that it was a successful operation. It's stressful to have something so important as your heart, being erratic.
Enjoy your healthy beating heart.

Blueblades Pacemaker Update.
by Charles Gillette inwell,to all who had wished me good health before i went for my procedure,thank you.
9/14 pacemaker was inserted below my collarbone successfully.check up will be 9/18.. so, since 2012 when i was 67,i had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve with a bovine tissue valve.
now at 73, i have an implanted pacemaker with two leads,one for the upper chamber, right atrium and one for the lower right chamber,ventricle of the heart.. so, my heart beats should now be steady and not in and out of afib.. both of my brothers died of heart attacks.

Watson. Here is one of my experiences
by moley ina little backstory.
please comment, is the just childish imagination or something unexplainable.. when i was nine we lived in modbury, it’s a small town, in devon the southwest of britain.
we lived in a very hold house, several hundred years old and down the way was 2 battle sites of the english civil war (one a minor battle won by the royalist and a larger battle won by the parliamentarians which ultimately lifted the siege of plymouth).

From my own experiences, there is something that skirts around the "normal" life we live. What it is or why it exists, I don't have a clue.

As a kid, we were told we couldn't even use the pool at the YMCA - that would be involving ourselves in false religion.
Yet the WT gets a library card from the big mighty UN - the "image of the Wild Beast"
A case of "do as I say, but not as I do"
By the way, I mostly clicked on this thread just so I could be entertained by doubter.

I was in bed when my sister came and said that a plane had hit the world trade tower. It was all surreal. The next plane came. Surprisingly it seemed to just be absorbed by the building. But I thought of the people above the plane. With strong updrafts from the fire, nothing could land on top of the building to rescue anyone that made it there.
It's hard to encompass that large of a disaster. I imagined how the people on the plane had watched the building come into view and could do nothing. People who had just sipped their morning coffee at their desk - gone in an instant. Jet fuel burning their lungs and body. People panicking to escape. The sad reality of burning alive or jumping.
I didn't really think of Armageddon happening at that moment. Although later, since I didn't think I would survive Armageddon, there was a fear it would come.
Did anyone else see the footage from the french man who had come to do a documentary on the fire department? He was with a crew that went to the scene. They went into the in between building of the towers. People were coming down stairs to exit and the crew started to set up a command station. The building they were in, had a glass roof. All of a sudden, there were crashes from above. The fire chief made the comment, "there are jumpers" That showed how bad the situation was. I don't think it had a repeat showing on TV.

The Wizard of Oz
by I Faded Twice indoes anyone else see the similarities between the wizard of oz and the gb?.
it's kind of like when the curtain is removed and you find out it's all smoke and mirrors.
plus dorothy wakes up at the end!.

Yes many here have found the curtain scene "revealing". Have you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell? The WT follows the same pattern as the pigs. George knew what he was writing about!

I've heard a few talks about how Babylon the Great has Fallen from years ago.
But apparently, she's gotten up again and ran off in her high heels.

Carts on both ends of the farmersmarket
by Still Totally ADD inmy wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.
there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.
what is funny on each end of this short street are cart setups with 3 people on each cart.

Probably you have to get permission/pay for the spot. But what a kick it would be to have a pseudo cart with various headlines and websites.
After a moment of shocked silence, I bet they pack up quickly, making sure their coffee doesn't spill of course, and then off they run. Maybe one brave soul might mutter something as they go by. The added benefit will be those at the market being informed of what is happening with JW world and avoid it.

You will not find this sort of support in the New System: JC Elder
by Diogenesister inso that statement was made by an elder to a disfellowshipped brother, during a reinstatement meeting.. this statement is made here at around 4.
10 mins in.. the full story of this man is incredibly sad.
in fact i've rarely listened to an exjws story that has affected me quite so much.

The translation is, YOU went to outside help instead of us and instead of Jehovah. You won't be able to rely on worldly help in the new order. We are angry and self righteous since we know that any true help would have come from god and not from a person who studied and applied kindness and understanding towards you. How dare you call into question our beatings and rejection of you - because really, that's how much we love you.
I'm sure it's the elders own ideas but probably thought out by most of those in power.

I hate how they have used art and music to crush dreams. The child who was denied advancing his skills as a violinist because it would "rob" him of studying about god and put him in with "worldly" children. The use of a skilled artist making glass - even if he went to a master in glass to learn, it's no different from being in a college class.
It looks like the speaker enjoyed breaking that stupid glass they purposely made wrong.
One of the last talks I heard at the sunday meeting, was about how people were like Korah when they disregarded the GB's warning about college. "The Society has published so many articles about not going to college and yet, a person will point out one paragraph that says 'it's up to your conscience'" The speaker was fuming and yet couldn't see that he was basically saying that there was no choice at all, you must obey the GB.
