    My son lives in China going on 13 years now. He told me when he first moved there that another ESL teacher was a witness living abroad and attended meetings in Hong Kong. Its been so long now but i think he took a ferry across to Hong Kong for the meetings as this was the only place JW activity was allowed.

    @dozerman5676 i truly hope you dont think i was comparing your situation to Matthew Perry's. I thought i was being careful in my words not to do that. Its that i was married to a alcoholic/addict before his death in July 2023 and just the mention of certain medications terrify me. He was sober for about 5 yrs prior to having a fall from 2 story ladder requiring major surgery and was instantly hooked on rx drugs which he never got off of. Huge amounts of MS long actting 100mg 4 x day and MS contin IR 30mg 4 x day. I had countless ERs tell me no MD would prescribe that amount then I would show them his RX bottles. Most unbelievable thing was his pain management MD was the head of the opiate program in the state of OKLAHOMA. Yes, I am terrified of any addictive medication as i have experienced the havoc they cause to families. I know yours was a tx oversaw by a medical professional but it triggers the trauma I went through and the countless others i've seen. I am sorry if I made it sound any other way. Please forgive.

    I hope and pray for all who suffer with depression/anxiety/panic disorders. All i read was in office ketamine and it scared me for you. I have not researched this method but only assosciate with Matthew Perry and a few high profile figures. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for relief.

    I can not remember the year but i do remember this. I was baptized 5-11-1997 and moved from LA to Oklahoma in 2007. I am pretty sure it was somewhere close in time to my relocation. But yes i remember. I think of it each time someone reaches for my hand. Its awkward to shove their hand away because it is usually a very elderly sister who is frail and i dont want to hurt her loving gesture. So i give her hand a comfortable squeeze then kiss it after the prayer because i feel she is doing it for comfort. Most times i dont hold hands but there are exceptions.

    We are good. Three sets of sirens in one night! But my 3 littles howled and shook all night. They have bloody diarrhea today, so there's that.

    No storm shelter. Since my husbands unexpected death last summer, i have had to sell our home (closes Monday) and move into an RV. Last June they called it 'severe weather' i think they may have upped it recently to tornadic conditions. No electric for 9 days is a record breaking heat wave of 113-115 F daily for a few days. So naturally no AC. Grocery stores closed. Gas stations closed for many and long lines at others. This is when my husband passed without my knowledge as I was in Ecuador taking care of business required for our pending retirement and subsequent move...he was estimated to have been deceased 10-12 days before i was able to finally make contact with county sheriff for a welfare check..so this type of weather is bringing great anxiety from that truamatic event. Im just hoping me and my dogs dont blow away and end up like Dorothy.

    Oklahoma has been included in another severe weather advisory. It was a term I had not heard used before. PDS

    I wonder if Agatha Christie, Lt. Columbo, Sgt. Joe Friday, Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, James Rockford, Sherlock Holmes, Fox Mulder and Dana Sculley will head up the investigations? Just think, cold cases as we know them today will really be delving into some cold cases.

    I have wondered about unsolved crimes for years. Only recently, i have been leaning towards it not becoming common knowledge. Since death is the wages of sin what good would it do? If the person really comes to know Jehovah, then they will truly come to repetence so why should they have to then be humilated by past shameful works? This has just been a different view i've been juggling the last 6 months, so i am not commited the that thinking if that makes since.

    Its funny you ask this because i was wondering about this very thing earlier today.. Now since I am living in an RV with no washer or dryer for the last 6 months, i realized i have every pair of socks i moved in with..15 pairs. I hand wash my socks, and fine unmentionables and air dry in bathroom. So, im convienced the dryer is the Bermuda Triangle of socks.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Was at the end of my rope in my 2nd marriage--honestly felt suicidal. Remembered my grandmother visiting years ago from CA and that she would talk to my Mom about the Truth. My Mom died at 53 but had mentioned to me that if there was a right religion JW had to be it. My Mom had died and JW's came to my door. I had a house full of company and invited them in. Later they would remark that they "knew" I was a sheep because I invited them in and visited with them and got them cold beverages to drink and made them feel so hospitable in the midst of all my turmoil. If anyone knows Phyllis Bittner, originally from Bartlesville, OK and now residing somewhere close to San Diego tell her I am in the Truth now.Thanks for our time together and planting that seed. Anyway, I read the Truth Book and quickly stopped my study due to my unhappiness with my first marriage. I was a nurse and took care of my present husband who was in for ETOH tx. Began a relationship with him, divorced, remarried and began a life that was always drama filled due to the alcholosim. Left Oklahoma and moved to LA. Had an unbelievable life style change, went from living in the Salvation Army shelter because I was to afraid to tell my family my husband was still drinking and lying to constantly make things appear better to my husband getting sober and starting his own business and even having a yacht slipped at Marina Del Rey and living in a 6000 sq ft home owned by the wealthest family in CA (Otis Chandler)--lots of things I am not able to talk about transpired, I made a cold call to JW's from the yellow pages and Gwen Logan was sent to study with me--6 months later I was baptized.
