i was driving to work today and the news came on...i heard the name betty whitten being charged for murder on 2 counts.
i knew the name but wasn't sure at that point if it was the betty whitten i knew from libertyville, illinois...then her disabled daughter was mentioned, we called her "kiki".
"kiki" had been stabbed by her mother betty whitten.
I'd be interested to know if there was still the JW connection. She probably got no help or support from the congregation in caring for her daughter, but they wouldn't have wanted her to have "worldly" help, either. The elders would have told her it was her load to carry.
this is funny: go to the google search engine and type in your name + 'needs' after it, e.g.
"john needs".
write down the description of the first (or best!
[real name] needs a nick name

the latest wt study article seemed like an article to prep the masses for 'new light' to be revealed in the very near future.. i have never seen an article like this one where they summarized their 'flashes of light' in their history in this manner and bombarded the minds with the need to accept all and any change within the org.. it could be for the purpose of getting the rank and file to accept a pretty big change or a series of big changes very soon.. what do you think?
what do you think it'll be?.
Before 1968 they taught that the great tribulation (or G-trib as some of us called it) began in 1914. At the international conventions that year the "new light" revealed that it had indeed not begun then and was still in the future. Now, I don't remember if is was supposed to preceed the big A or was part of it. It was "revealed" at the convention, WT article followed.

Glad you're back; I always worry when I don't hear from one of the kids for too long,
Are you on safe legal grounds? I'd hate to see you get into official trouble.
OK, ok, mom-type stuff over.

if it were not for all of the very hard work that simon does behind the scenes to keep this forum up, much of the other work others are doing could never have happened.. this site serves as an excellent central location for us all to communicate and exchange thoughts and ideas about how to expose the evil ways of the wts.. simon, thank you very much!
Yes, yes! Many thanks to Simon. I would have not progressed nearly so far if not for this site and the tons of information for our "nourishment!"
so i wake up feeling alright, i have to unbraid my hair (which will take well into the night time) and so i come downstairs, turn on the computer and chat and unbraid my hair, thinking, this is a good day.
low and behold my mother comes down... "sh*****, i need the computer.
" "ok, mom..." i put an away message on my aim and then when she sits down, "i don't want you talking on that thing, jehovah wouldn't like that.
"Well how does that make you feel?"
I told a therapist if I ever heard that from her, it would be the last time she saw me! I think you need someone new to talk to; is that a possibility?
Sounds difficult at home. It won't last forever.
when you are on a diet what is it that tempts you most to give it up or if you succeed in your diet objectives what is it afterwards that tempts you to overeat and start putting on weight again?
unfortunately most dieters that lost weight regain it.
long term successful weight loss is elusive for most people.
I try to walk regularly, too, and aim for about an hour five days a week. I don't know if that'll be enough to keep it off as I get older. It's a dirty trick that it takes more and more to keep weight off as we get older. I have something sweet nearly every day, just a little even when I'm seriously trying to loose weight and I eat very little of what I call fake food, the artificially sweetened, fat free stuff. If I'm gonna eat it, it has to be good.
I've kept the weight off for the most part for five years, and yet I have times of terror that I'll gain it back!

I overeat when I'm stressed. If it's a long-term stress, I over indulge long term. Last time I started a new job, I gaines more than twenty pounds. I'm now in the first few months of another new job, and it's a fight. I'm not particular; I'll eat just about anything I can get my hands on!
