I remember my first pc .... how about you?
by talesin ini remember the olden days of pcs and word processors, back in the late 70's, early 80's .... there was a xerox wp machine i worked on that had a 6"x4" screen, you could only see about 3 lines of type at a time ... i kid you not!
after 3 hours of working on that, my eyes were buggy !!
one of my first pcs was the apple 2c, what a b*tch that was!!

Should Ex's Care For Believing Parents?
by Englishman inso when my dear old mum, who is well into her 80's, is no longer able to care for herself, what then?.
well, i guess we could build a granny-annexe and take care of her.
trouble is, i'm disfellowshipped, so i wonder how the local elders would react to that one.. same with my kid brother, he's an outcast too.. hmm.

letter to family
by kat2u in.
i am in the process of writing a letter to my mother.i have been told by family members that she knows im going to come back into the fold.and has thus decided that untill i do she will not be in the same place as i am again.this also includes mt parents 50th wedding anniversary in june.my father wants me there is has never been a jw.but mom has decided that if i attend then she cannot.this all added to the fact that she is in continual contact with my eldest daughter to "keep consistent" in their treatment of me.i am angry and intend to explain to her the fact that i will never be a jw again and to explain to her why.. i have seen many wonderful letters others have posted to family members.im just looking for anyone who has any ideas or thoughts that i might be able to use in my letter..

The elderly
by moses ini feel for the elderly who have put all thier hopes in the society and now really have no one to turn to.my mom is reaching 70 and was converted in the late 60s she still believes it is the truth but i think because she has nowhere else to go i think it is true also for all the elderly in the hall i bet some still believe some of the old doctines and have no idea about the new ones but are still hanging on because they feel thier is nowhere else to go, they basically sacrifsied thier lifes for the organazation.
