Their numbers are falling. The "preaching" isn't effective; they're mainly baptizing kids. If they could strong arm "inactive ones" back into the org, it might make a difference. Maybe this is behind the push though the r&f wouldn't know it. This time they're buying into, again, the line that the end is practically here. Just think, if they could get former jw's back how much less work it would be than the door to door work.

Another letter from the Disfellowshipped JW
by reneeisorym into those of you who followed the last post about the idiot who keeps e-mailing me -- he keeps sending me more letters even though i quit sending him letters.. .
good morning renee: i expect you will be reading this early when you come to work.
these are trumped up charges just like they did to jesus and the apostles by those who hate jehovah and his flock.

He sounds seriously crazy, unbalanced. I'd steer clear of him. Does he live near you? You might want to document what he's doing just in case...

Giving Up The Struggle
by choosing life ini recently realized that i don't know or need to know the answers to the big questions in life.
the details no longer matter to me.
i just kinda gave up on the struggle to be right or in the know.

I love the feeling. I no longer need to have all the answers, and it's so liberating!

Ever hear an experience at an assembly that you KNOW was slanted?
by Bonnie_Clyde ini remember one at a district assembly.
a brother was being interviewed as to why he never chose over time work at his job.
he said he worked for a small printing company and that he was content with working regular hours.

When I pioneered in my early twenties, I was at a rehearsal for a c.a. part on pioneering and a middle aged sister was being coached on her experience. She was a pioneer and had an older highschooler at home and was talking about how she managed her schedule. When she said she had a teenager at home she was stopped and told to say she was the mother of three; technically correct, but the two others were adults and out of the house. They wanted her to sound like she had three kids at home and was pioneering anyway. Even then I could see what they were doing.

Can't find husband's bleeding site
by MsMcDucket ini haven't said anything to you all because i feel like many will say here she goes looking for sympathy.
anyway, he had to go in thursday for a cbc.
his hgb was 7.2. so they sent him over to the hospital to get two units as an outpatient.

Ms. McD,
It sounds as though the dr's would be aware of the nsaids. Maybe they will consult with another hospital to look for answers. Are you getting enough support? Don't be worried about asking those around you for help.

Is he taking NSaids for pain or arthritis? (non-steriodal ainti-inflamitory meds) I was hospitalized this fall with blood loss and nearly had a transfusion; my count only got down to 9. The dr's should have asked this question but on the chance they haven't, you should mention it. There was never a specific bleed sight found; it just happens fast and fierce.
This must be very frightening for you and your hubby; my thoughts are with you.

How Do You Feel About Life & Yourself Now That You're Out?
by minimus inpersonally, i'm feeling better about things.
i don't cringe when i see a witness now.
i may still try to avoid contact with certain ones but now i feel more than ever before that jws are crackpots and whether they look down on me or not, they are the ones with the issues----not me!

I cannot even begin to describe how much better I feel mentally, physically, emotionally. Doesn't mean life's perfect but a lot better out of the borg.

GUMBERS NEEDS YOUR ADVISE.......
by Mary ini got a pm from gumby this morning.
as i predicted, he's being love-bombed by the congregation and invited out everywhere.
part of this is because he was very popular before and is a very likeable guy, but part of it is to try and suck him back in so thoroughly, he'll never be able to escape.

I can't even begin to imagine being in his position. I guess there's a lot of the flu going around... Hell, I'd be sick from the socializing that's been going on already.
