Micah

Not sure if you all remember last July about the old guy who went into the KH to kill the brothers, and the gun didn't work??? Well, he was finally sentanced!!!! Pensioner jailed for attempted massacre on Jehovah's Witnesses An 83-year-old man who stormed a Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation with a machine gun in the city of Bielefeld was sentenced to 11 years prison on Tuesday for 39 counts of attempted murder. The man, who the court said blamed the church for his estrangement from his daughter – herself a Jehovah’s Witness – entered the church hall in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia last July armed with a machine gun, knife and samurai sword.

Back in Bible times, Jehovah let 2 she-bears devour kids for bullying!!!!

I have to say it Micah, you look exactly like an old beau of mine...maybe you don't without the hat but in that pic you really do. How weird is that?! HAHAHAHA!!!! I have never lived, let alone visited France. Unless you have been to Washington, USA.

Although the girl featured in this article is not a JW, my soon to be 11 yr old son, Michael (Bob he is the one you met at the DC), was good friends with this girl. According to my son, she was bullied pretty good at school 11 year old girl commits suicide due to bullying Administrators at London City Schools are cooperating with local law enforcement to investigate the death of 11-year-old Hailey Petee. The fifth-grade student at London Elementary School was found dead in her home early Sunday — the apparent victim of a suicide. “We’re investigating all aspects of the incident,” said London Police Chief Dave Wiseman. “We want to know what actually happened.”

"They have persecuted me, and they will persecute you." - Jesus Although upsetting as it may be, this is also a happy thing. Our brothers and sisters are being mistreated, but for the right reason. We are doing what is expected, and Satan knows he has even less time than before. So he is gonna start going on an all out war even harder. Pick off the "weaker" ones, basically, you don't hear a whole lot of news coming out of Ireland, at least where I live. So if he starts where it's "unheard of, or reported less" he may think it will strike fear into the bigger ones, the ones that gets reported a lot. Causing them to think, "Well if he can do that on that small scale, imagine what he can do on a larger scale!" Just my 2 cents for the day. Now I gotta go search my couch for more pennies....

Number 8 kinda looks like Rowan Atkins (Mr. Bean to the Americans that aren't familiar with British humor). BLACK ADDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay... It's been a while since I have been here and posted. A lot has happened since my last posting. My wife ended up going to ICU for pneumonia. While there, she got an infection started in her foot. She asked the doctor to have it fixed or at least checked out. He flat out refused! He said, "No, you and your significant other can go to a regular doctor to have that checked out. We don't have time here." And he turned and left the room. My wife was like, "Does he think I am a lesbian?" That is the only reason, that I can think of, for a doctor to say 'significant other'. Anyways, she spent 3 days there, then they released her. She came home, still miserable. Not feeling right. She was feverish, throwing up, the whole nine yards of something really nasty. So I put her in the car, and took her to a different hospital in another city. They immediately took her in. They were flabbergasted the ICU wouldn't do anything. They scanned her foot and noticed 5 large abscesses. She had emergency surgery to remove them, and while in there they noticed a really NASTY infection. They decided to leave it open to drain. The very next day they drained out 55cc of pus, that is equivalent to 1/2 cup of coffee. She was in that hospital for a week, and 2 surgeries to have it fixed. She is now back home with a PICC line. Then my mom broke some heartbreaking news to me, my ex-sister in law, and her two daughters wrote letters, disassociating themselves!!! The oldest daughter was just accepted as a regular pioneer, she was an avid interpreter for the ASL congregation. She would go to BC, Canada and to California for the assemblies to interpret there as well, she was also accepted this past summer for the RBC. She disassociated herself. I am still in such a state of shock that I hope when I go to bed tonight, and wake up in the morning that this was all just a dream. I don't understand peoples reason to leave Jehovah. Especially when things are going from bad to worse! Pretty soon the cost of milk is going up to $8/gallon. Going along with the scripture, "Bread will cost a day's wage." I will admit, that since we moved to Columbus, we haven't made a meeting all due to severe illnesses!!! Pneumonia, surgeries, stomach flus, viruses, etc... This is getting way to nutty for me. We came here to help my sister get back and forth to the meetings as it is hard for her worldly husband to do it. I was asked to study with her son. I feel like everything is just spinning out of control for me, and I don't know how to get the room to stop spinning and restart. I need to say, "Okay, I am starting at point A, not point K and going back and forth." Seems like everyone I know is getting df'd or leaving altogether. I just found out a brother from my previous congregation is df'd again. I told the brother that told me, "There will be a point they can tell him he can't come back." He's been df'd so many times!!! I just don't know what to do. I feel that when I pray, I am in an empty room and nobody's listening. I hate that feeling. Alone, desperate, nobody to hear, nobody to hold your hand and say, "Son, everything will be ok." Well, I think I talked to much, so I will go for now. Thanks all for letting me vent, and being such close personal friends that I feel comfortable enough to talk to you all at this level. I only met a couple of you in person, but feel that we all know each other well!!! Agape!!!

I have a really dumb question that always gets me in the back of my mind about these things. Jehovah has the power to say, "Oh no you don't! Those are my gifts, my children!" Snap his finger and obliterate the creep. Why don't he? He steps in other times, why not times like this? Also, Jehovah hates a liar, correct? What about the situation with the shooting? The teacher, Victoria Soto, hid the kids in the closet, and told the gunmen they are in the gym instead, and he killed her. Therefore saving the kids that were hidden. Does Jehovah consider this situation different because she traded her life for theirs? There is so much "hatred" going through my mind right now, I can't begin to fathom what the parents of the victims are going through. I am scared to death to send my kids on the school bus now, wondering if at 3pm I am going to see them hop off the bus and run willy nilly back into our home.

If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move appropriately..... Thanks!!! ........ Anyhow, as I have mentioned in a previous posting, a very close friend of mine is disfellowshipped. He all of a sudden appeared on my facebook, I thought I had him deleted. He had a few postings, nothing negative, just song lyrics. I saw a lot of likes, and I noticed those "Likes" are from other JW's that are not in his congregation, so they wouldn't know he is disfellowshipped. Do I mind my business and not say anything, or as a loving brother, do I say something and jeopardize looking like a complete jerk? I think it is wrong that this person and/or his family doesn't let anyone know.

Now I was just told last night that my buddy that got married early, is no longer a witness, or in older terms: disfellowshipped.

Um.... There are brothers that are offenders, yet they are allowed to preach. They just can't hold a position. They can't be alone with children. And I believe they can't be in the same car group with kids. They can't go to the door by themselves either. Yet, they still preach!!

Hello....... Been awhile since I have been here. So much has been going on. ARGH!!!!!!! My sister in law in Columbus asked us to move down to help her out with her home, son, and health. Her knees are bad, and she may have to have corrective surgery. The house is a disaster. Thank goodness I know how to fix everything that's wrong. So, my wife and I have agreed to move down to help. I think it'd be better since where I live, I can't find a decent job to save my life. I can barely get over 20 hrs a week at work. We have suffering in every aspect because of it. We sold our house, and the day of our move, I have asked a few brothers to help. They all told me no. Worldly people offered to help. In the back of my mind, that sucks!!! So, I ended up loading the uhaul by myself. It took over 9 hrs!!! The fridge was heavy! lol.... Then 5.5 hr drive down. Normally takes 3 hrs, but I was pulling our car behind so I had to take my time. We have been down here for over a week now. Getting things settled down. Finally relaxing a bit today. Just wanted you all to know, I didn't forget about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All at the same time, a brother, my friend, got married a week before. He was going to get married in April, but couldn't wait. I was both happy and upset. I have been trying to get a hold of him to tell him congratulations! Nothing back from him. I ask his mom, and she won't tell me anything. I don't know what to do. I was NEVER upset about the whole thing. What gets me is I was so supportive of his whole engagement, while a Ministerial servant kept dogging him, telling him he's not ready, he's to young, he's not responsible enough, etc etc etc. Yet the brother invited him and his wife over for the engagement party, but not me and my wife. I can't get a hold of him to see if I have offended him or whatnot. Anyways................ LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jehovah's Witnesses community mourns loss This is the part that is confusing to me: Vaughn declined to comment on accusations against Holt, who is a Jehovah's Witness and was acquainted with both the Heichels, possibly through Jehovah's Witness gatherings, investigators said. So, are they saying the suspect is a brother??? Or am I misinterpreting the words???

I am looking at the pictures as well, and I am seeing a baby to a little boy. Is it hers??? Does anyone know??? Man I can't stop crying....... THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
