Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

I wouldn’t text, it invites a response or at least opens you to rejection.

Send her a card, saying how sorry you were to hear she was ill. Get well cards don’t necessarily result in replies but would certainly show you care.

when I learned my Aunt was dying of cancer last year I wrote to her with memories of the great times we’d had together. She’d cut me out her life 10 yrs ago but I learned that she loved the letter. I never got a reply, but that wasn’t what I wanted, I wanted her to know she had done some lovely things for me as a child that I’d greatly appreciated.

Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

Welcome to the board Kilian72, from another gay former elder. I was also amused at just how oblivious the holy spirit was...

I am getting disfellowshipped

by CitizenofEarth in

maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.

for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.

for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

Don’t go, you’re on a hiding to nothing.

I have a couple of gay friends in similar to you, appreciate how difficult that is. While it's not for me, have you tried joining the gay JW support site?
