Update on my wife's health: we spent most of Friday evening in the emergency room. In the end, it was diverticulitis. And she was much dehydrated. She was down a quart so they topped her off. That alone and had her feeling much better. She's now on a course of antibiotics and antifungals.

To all: Over the past (4) years or so, I’ve enjoyed many interesting conversations on this forum. But after a lot of meditation, research, and prayer, I’ve come to the personal decision to permanently terminate my membership here, effective immediately. The reason(s) why are entirely personal; but it has nothing to do with anyone here, this website has had a good thing going on here for a long time now, and the mods have been cool; no knock on that at all. However, it’s time for me to move forward, on to the next chapter in life. With that said, maybe I’ll meet some of you in person someday, and we’ll have some fun together. One of my favorite hobbies, is meeting other friends from different congregations, and other parts of the world, and learning their cultures. To an extent, this website has allowed me to talk to friends whom I would otherwise have been unable to meet. In any case, I wish you all the best, and may Jehovah bless you all! Your brother, Elijah

I feel devistated, yet upright, only thanks to Jehovah. My dear friend an i were on our way to a memorial for a brother two congregations down the road. A wonderful young spiritual brother. Cancer. I was at the hall to meet Paula. To go to the memorial, a couple of hours down the highway. I got a text while i was waiting. (I was early, for a change) A very dear pioneer sister, in her 50ʼs, at an hospital north of San Francisco, it was decided to pull the life support system. Iʼm still upset at the circumsrances that put her there. Two weeks ago she was on our Monday meet for service Zoom meeting. With a bottle of cough sryup she was given at the clinic she visited. By Wednesday, they took her out town in an ambulance. Before they could get her stabilized enough to even operate, she crashed 3 times. They got her through two surgeries, was on the ventelator. She was off it, long enough to talk to her mother and sister on the east coast. Ended back on the ventelator. So, we were getting ready to go to a funeral, before we left the parking lot at the hall, we get this text. And it was too much. We visited, cried, visited. A brother in our hall died a few weeks ago. His memorial is coming up. Heʼd been sick for some time. 77 years old. So, another widow for our little congregation. And, Bobby and Jerry… This is almost too much. But Jehovah has been doing his best to be here for us. And, he is. Here for us. Have you any idea how grateful and thankful i am? Our little congregation could use your prayer.
