Hello my name is Jacqueline and I was a loyal witness for over 60 yrs. I moved when the organization moved. I have been an aux. and a regular pioneer, aiding many to come to a knowledge of the truth. I am a third generation witness. I have many family members who are still witnesses. My Crisis of Conscience began when I became aware of the governing body’s great influence and encroachment on Jesus’ place in the congregation. It seems he was mentioned less and less each year, but the governing body scores of times during the meetings. I left in August 2009 and went back to the original Bible Students in January 2010. As a” Holistic Alternative Psychology Practitioner”, I was also disturbed over the many pedophile cases that came my way, done by elders and other brothers within the congregation. I made the society aware. Little did I know it created a file on me in Bethel. I thought I was making them aware of something they didn’t know about. I was wrong. They already knew and threatened to disfellowship me if I cooperated with one case. I had a “ CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE” and went in “SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM” IN CHRIST.
I am here only to help ones that have come to a crisis where “THEY” have decided to leave the Corporation, need help and Christian Fellowship. Sometimes we don’t know where to go. So it is with this attitude and mindset of the Lord Christ Jesus that I want to do what I can, if the Lord permits. Additionally, I prayed hard before deciding to reach out and help if someone needed it. I could have been satisfied with just escaping myself. I was on a sinking luxury ship, I prayed for help. And along came a little TUGBOAT. (The Bible Students). How could I not throw the lifeline to the ones that had jumped without knowing about the little Tugboat. Torgue, Tug placement and Momentum allows a little tugboat to pull even a big ship. There is lots of room on board for those that need something less polished, sleek, fancy and slick. Just plain old Bible , Jehovah and Jesus. No fancy building, just love and trust. The little Tugboat was sent by Jehovah I feel to rescue me and others, that need something that just sticks to the Bible without Big Corporation laws and by-laws.
Ask a question, share your experience, or just blog and talk. We all would love to hear from you. This is a fear- free zone. Comment on questions, reply, or just follow our blog.
In Christ, Jacqueline.

Pat,
Here are some phone numbers and the time that you can be on phone hook-up with Jehovah witnesses and ex-Jehovah witnesses. They have all gone thru the same or similar trials. Most of us object to the same basic things, although we come from different parts of the world and the USA.
1.Every other Saturday nite at 6pm (712)432-8710 conference code is 9925# Richard Rawe a Former Witness elder in organization since 1930′s.
Rick Fearson the next Saturday same number same time.
Sixscreens of the watchtower. These are subject talk. You can press *1 to talk, it is so encouraging.
2. Sunday every other one at 12noon Joe Emerson moderates Bible reading and discussions. You get to read and comment. We don’t skip about we read verse after verse.
3. Sunday Upper Room Ministries 1pm.-3pm (712)432-8710 Code 9925# Normally a public lecture. There are actual friends there current JW’s as well as ex JW’s and others. There is the phone hook up as well as Social networks coming in like facebook, skype etc. You get to read scriptures and ask questions later on, any subject or whatever is on your mind.
4. Sunday 2pm-4pm Richard Rawe, Kris from Canada and others discuss deep Bible topics. Nothing is scripted everyone is polite and curteous. If everyone thinks alike, that’s because only one person is thinking.
Come join us and have fun. Also if you will write the moderator in the contact us section, he can tell you if their is a BS group in your area. He will keep all info confidential.
So you see there is a lot to choose from and you will be among friends. No one will beat up on you. Take car my sister. Talk to you later.
P.S. Some of the sisters are on skype. Come on Saturday nite if you can and let’s see if we can do an online study. Do you have unlimited long distance? if not dial thru skype. It is free.
Pat,Richard Rawe on Sunday number is: 218)5483324 code 534929#
Pat and Joey,
All of the times I gave are CST. http://www.christianwitnesses.com is the site for all things related to fellowship of other ex-witnesses. It is by Joe Emerson. Peace
Hi Pat,
I am sorry it took me so long to answer but Sundays I meet at 12:00pm by phone hook-up with a group of witnesses and ex-witnesses for bible reading and discussion. At 1:00 Upper Ministries is on that same hook-up. There are witnesses and ex-witnesses and persons from other religions meeting in a home in Massachusetts. Many of us come in via internet and phone for participation. Then at 2:00 There is another Bible discussion group with Richard Rawe who was a witness sine the 1930′s and others. Then I go to dinner. So Sunday is a full day with all the pre-study for each.
Many think that when you leave the watchtower society, you leave God, but that is not the case. I really study the Bible now, and can understand more accurately what it is saying. I don’t have a doctrinal view in my way, just Jesus and Holy Spirit, where there are two or three meeting in his name we can be assured of Holy Spirit.
I agree with you, we could never go to those false teachings, that is why I have chosen to go back to the original BS and relearn what I was taught as a child. (I was BS influenced in my youth, I will blog about that later).
The Dawn is also Bible Students. Each Bible Student
congregation is autonomous. They all hold the same basic beliefs as stated on the we We believe Tab.
I will ask the administrator to post is there is more info on this.
On the How to leave the witnesses without losing your family tab you will find a lot of helpful comments. You don’t seem to have that problem so much, but like most witnesses we are taught that this is the only way to be saved. You have to be associated with the watchtower. That is what causes some distress.
By all means Fade, don’t put yourself out there as a scrapegoat, protect your mental health, because they might say you are apostate and that will be a very difficult judicial committee.
I encourage you to read more of what is on this site, you will find the fine difference between JW and BS. You might also like to join in on so of our discussions tell more of us your story and we will help you. It is so nice when there are actual voices of real people to hear.Talk to you later.
In Christ,
HI.I hope the program you were listening to was recorded so we an listen to it…I’m very interested in learning what the BS teach as I could never go back to the teaching of hell fire and the soul and so on.I love the basic truth I learned as a witness and that the BS have.What is the difference in the BS and the Dawn…….You asked about my familey.I just have one son that is a jw,and he lives along way away.He doesn’t know how I’m feeling about things and I don’t want him to know.The rest of my kids are out.I have a few friends in the cong.But there friendship is very conditional,as you know.I feel very sad about how I feel,at one time the “truth”was every thing to me.So much has changed.At the same time my mind feels free.Right now I feel like I don’t want to go back at all.My husband is not well,so I’m going to use that if any one calls or comes over.I sure don’t want to talk to the bro.What are your thoughts on fading with out much attention.It is so nice to talk to some one about this.Thank you for being there.Till next time..
Hello Pat, I have been checking to see if you commented.
I too was baptized in 1960 so I could vacation pioneer. Remember the 100 hr. 33 return visit and 100 magazine placement required. I was twelve years old. I was told 1984 was the date at that time,not many people remember that. It was 70yrs plus 14. I will began a blog of my life as a witness and you can too on this page.
I just decided to stop going physically to the Kingdom Hall in Aug. 2009. I listen in on the telephone hook-up until January of this year. I never missed.
I saw an announcement on the Dawn Bible website about a convention for the Chicago Bible Students being held in a suburb of Chicago. It was one of the coldest days of the year. I found it and recognized immediately that these were the people from my past. With this support system behind me and their kindness I was able to break free.
I didn’t leave because of all the big problems. When a church came to my house to help with the flooding in my basement and I told them I was a witness. They didn’t ask why aren’t they helping, they just did more. That was it August 2009. Isn’t it strange that there is a straw that broke the Camel’s back.
It took me 10 yrs to fade. I have over 200 relatives still witnesses. I dropped little tidbits at a time to test and see if I had any relatives that were doubting also. I held them dear. I also kept a very close relationship with all my relatives and the young ones that had left or were disfellowshiped always knew I would talk to them openly. So you might say I made friends before I faded. I was very vocal on scripture in my comments. I explained them properly, my congregation was not surprised when I stopped. A circuit overseer said from the stage, “we know you are going to leave let us help you.” That story is on http://www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com.
What problems are you having? Other than your husband, is there other family in the truth? Do they live in your city? Do you have other associates outside of the witnesses. Your husband is a great asset, he is your ally. Also having a network like this one and sixscreens will help you so that you can heal and move on. Also learning the doctrinal truths from others thoughts will help you realize Jesus’ role in God’s plan. You see we have our time frames wrong as witnesses. Just reading some of the books from the BS, helped me to see the scriptures more accurately. Pray and Holy Spirit kicked in after I admitted I needed help. I am listening to sixscreens now and an active ministerial servant is on 712-432-8710 code 9925#. This is Sat. nite at 7:30pm they are still on now.
Talk to you soon.
Hi Jacqueline,was so nice to meet you last night.My word 62 years.You have me beat by about 15 years.I became a jw in the early 60′s.I was a young women with small children.I fell away for about 12 years.I got back in about 3 years ago,but somthing isn’t right.The generation change is the strangest thing I have ever heard of.The generation sence 1914 are gone so this new change is like to keep every one with new excitement waiting for the end.Many other things.I just want to walk away,but it isn’t easy at all.I have missed many meetings and I just turn in token service to keep the bro away.My husband fell away about 20 years ago.He would love for me to leave…I’m trying.I think of you in for 62 years.What made you leave after so many years of service.Was it fast or just over time.Please share your thoughts with me.Please call me Pat.
Rachael – I am very sorry for your son has been torn out of your life and is being tempted by the occult. It is important that you continue to pray to God every day to protect him and guide him. Evidently, your influence is limited at best, but God knows this. I have just posted some an article and audio discussion on spiritism. I hope the information will help in some way. You can find the information by clicking here:
To persons that have written in regard to Rachel, we would like to let you know we have received your comments and thank you.
To Rachel, all of your comments will be private, they will not be published. Coming forward may have helped others. You are courageous and are to be commended.
Take care of yourself and your little family. Keep in touch. Godspeed.
In the Grace of Christ,
Jacqueline
Brenda, Hello,
I am sorry if you have seen first hand the damage these allegations cause.
I hope it is not of a personal nature because that can cause much distress. But my dear sister please don’t shoot the messenger.
Please examine for yourself. are all of these lying?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/855727.stm
http://www.silentlambs.org
I know you are not suggesting that I personally have been a victim of molestation in the organization, but I would like to just say. No, I have not.
My mother and father were very aware and protective.
Most of the victims that I have dealt with are not necessarily beautiful. They are just vulnerable however. with no visible helper.
They were children below the age of consent, under age 18yrs.
You are correct, however, one elder body said a 12 year old child seduced the 40 yrs old married brother, father of two. She was put on reproof, read before the whole congregation. He was put on private reproof. At 12 yrs old, she lost a baby and 1 kidney and all of her female organs. When I got the case 8yrs later, the wife said her husband had repented. One elder said he walked out of the committee room. I asked why didn’t you stand up for her? He said he would have been DF. He could help more by staying in and protecting others.
This man offended again. Some of the so called seductresses were as young as 3yrs old. Another 5yrs old. I feel ill.
There are indeed 6 million stories in the naked city.
I have another email similar to yours but not printable. The wife admits lying in the bed hurting while her then elder husband raped and used a young girl in their care. Her description is graphic and unprintable. She said the child was wicked. Her beauty beguiled her husband and trapped him.
You seem annoyed at these things coming forward. Well I am too. I have asked Jehovah to remove me from having to hear this in a religious organization that claims to be the only ENTITY ON EARTH that he deals with.
Pedophilia and predatory religious men are in many other religions, most however do not punish persons that try and help.
You take care my sister and thanks for viewing the website. Please take advantage of some of the other spiritual truths presented here.
Thank you. In Christ
Brenda, I AM SORRY, I didn’t know who you were. Could you please forgive me. You are right I didn’t behave like a friend at all. I had tunnel vision. I knew something was going to happen so I focused on only one person. The crisis is over now. I will widen my vision. Let’s focus on you and others in your position. You can vent here.
I committed a sin of omission, failure to realize you existed although I have been told about you from at least 3 persons. Their comments are not posted.
YES, indeed you are a victim too. Your mother, your siblings and to a lesser degree the whole congregation that you attend. Now, I can break your comment down and hopefully we can have a meaningful conversation.
Don’t cut me any slack! Let me know how you feel and why. It’s not just you and me, other sisters may be in the same predicament. Be their voice let all of us know how it feels to be a family member. Tell me if I can post it.
In order to do so I must explain, I will blot out any real names, so make up names for your characters in a separate email so I know who they are. I won’t print that.
I Will get back to the site in a few hours. Have to work to make a living.
What if I call you MS. Forgotten. Come on, smile, I am sorry for being so direct with you. You have taught me a lesson. See you later
Sincerely, in Christ
Dear Brother In Christ,
Thank you so much for keeping us updated on Rachel. It seems she going to make it. All thanks goes to God, you and yours are the vessels he has used. What good would it do to throw a ball, if nobody is willing and brave enough to step up to the plate, catch the ball and run!!
Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the the Father. 16- that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be STRENGTHENED with MIGHT through his Spirit in the inner Man. Jehovah and the Holy Spirit may it guide you on your journey my BROTHER. You have renewed my trust in the fact that not all elders of Jehovah Witness are afraid. You are MEN and taking care of those in your charge. Take it from here my brother. But please come back and tell us about your journey. We’d love to hear how it turns out. Tell Rachael all of us were and still are praying for her recovery.
Your Brothers In Christ on the other side of the Globe, Jacqueline
Friends of Rachael,
Thanks for keeping us updated on the situation. We pray all will go well.
Your comments are not being printed in a public forum, rest assured.
Please don’t forget your own sleep and rest. May Jehovah bless you and your family. In Christ
Hi Seeking Christ, Thanks for sharing.
If this has not been your personal experience, I would not try to make it one. Also some of the statements you make concerning how I think or feel are not accurate I will normally say exactly what I mean. My experience is here only to show that I was a witness and there is mistreatment of God’s people. I am one in a million stories. Go to other internet sites, just type the letters Je. Many would wish that the society will see these stories and change. Personnally I have moved on, but I will help others if they ask for my help. The Brothers and sisters on this site are not and never have been witnesses, they have not been abused. We however have many former JW elders and bethelites that are elder with the Bible Students now. David Stein and Roland Rodriquez just to mention a few. The feeling that I use on this site are out of love not education.
But it is because of that, I have come in contact with many victims. If you are bothered by this site it is not for witnesses that are in their comfort zone. Those that it is for, enjoy it. They have a landing so that they can heal. Jehovah witnesses is not the only way to God. He does not need an organization. Since Jesus those type of systems have ceased. You can be a Bible Student and please God and get everlasting life also. The organization does not mention the Bible Students, because they know brothers will jump ship if they knew about them.
And because I don’t say much about myself that means your assessment of me could possibly be wrong, this is not a personal issue. We are dealing with God’s Sheep that have been tossed about. Ezekial 34 chapter explains this.
Also since you are on the site please if you will consider some of the other points and subjects. Don’t let me be a stumbling block to you. My imput is minimal. What do you think about other subjects on this site?
Hi dominique, I really never want to say go away, because their problems are real. I am going to get personal emails so others can have space to comment to our right.
These are persons that feel they cannot say these things to the congregation, but here there is no fear. This page is here for persons needing to vent. However, now I see a need to get emails and respond personally, but others at least got to see that Christians have to help each other with problems also. Thank you so much for commenting. In Christian love, Jacqueline
elissa and Sharon please send me a private email to reply to you. I am getting your emails. Elissa, hang in there and Sarah stay with her please. The drs. are doing all they can and it was right to put her on watch. We are praying for you here.
When one in our Christian faith suffers, we all suffer. Tell her to just say the Lord’s prayer to God also, so he will just help her endure. She needs calmness now.BTW, men react so differently than women. Tell her father we are pulling for him and his wife, he has a little baby and his whole family to think about, that’ what men do they feed their family. That’s why he offers takeout. Our prayers are with you here, In Christ Jesus, our Savour’s name we pray to Jehovah to help you all. Jacqueline
Elissa, I am glad to see everything has worked out. Stick close to your family and your guardians. They love you very much and they are there to help you. When a family is in deep crisis, all other people need to butt out sometimes, for fear I say the wrong thing. I am not there and your parents and guardians makes the decisions about what to say to you. You are in good hands you will be okay. Remember you always have access to Jehovah thru Jesus Christ our savour. Take care my little sister
Marielle, I got your email and I am so sorry for your lost. Our prayers will be with. In your circumstance you are probably doing the right thing by handling the funeral that way. Many probably will not come if the elders have taken a stand against you because of the Blood issue. I wish you and yours the very best. At these times John5: 28,29 and Acts:24:15 where a resurrection is assured.1Tim2:6 assures us that Jesus is a ransom for all of Adam and his offspring. That is the hope we all cling too.
Remember you will alsways have access to Jehovah in prayer. Jesus has made that possible. You also have been called to peace in your marriage situation, so maybe now you can work on healing yourself. Both of your dear children are at rest and waiting on Jesus to call and they come out. Take Care my sister and all of those with you. They have proved to be better christians than your spititual brothers and I would think they are an answer to your prayer, from God.
Elessa, May I have a private email please, if possible. And don’t forget to get permission from your guardian or parents. Pray elessa, just open your heart to Jehovah, like he is your friend. You will get thru this. Kiss your Mom and hold her, okay. Take Care luv ya. Jacqueline
PS. You are welcome, but I think it was your prayers that worked, not mine(:).
Hi Elissa,
I got your message. I am so sorry about your mother. Your have been in my prayers. You don’t have to apologize, your Mom was passing and you were under tremendous stress. Maybe the doctors will see that too, that you hurt really bad.
Adelaide and Barbara are doing all they can to help, they are your friends. I will get some suggestions for you later and put them in this post. I wanted to let you know I am here. Elissa pray to God and Jesus to help you. I want to show you how to set up a blog page so I can talk to you in a private forum. Do you have an email? That will allow me to talk back and forth to you. If not I will open a special email that I can post publicly. I have to step out for a while today but I will be back. In Jesus dear name, take care. Jacqueline
Elissa, That’s okay if you don’t have an email. I’ll reply here. Sorry you are feeling so bad. I think that is what the drs. are trying to stop. The meds you are on takes time to get in the system. Watch and see you will began feeling better. If it makes you not be able to stand tell the drs. and maybe they will adjust it or change. Try if you can to cooperate with them. They have to fine tune your meds. Taking medicine don’t mean you are crazy or mentally ill. it is a chemical imbalance like a diabetic who must take insulin. Its like wearing glasses sort of, to correct the curve in your eye lenses. You just need a little help to get you thru this period of time. These awful feelings will level out as the meds take hold. Be calm and talk to your dr. Listen to Barbara and Adalaide, they love you. Sarah is your true friend sticking closer than a brother. (Pr. 18:24).
Does God love you? If so how does he feel about young ones?
Matt.19:13-15 when young children were brought to him, for him to put his hands upon them and offer prayer; but the disciples reprimanded them.14. Jesus, however, said:”Let the young children alone, and stop hindering them from coming to me, for the kingdom of the heavens belongs to suchlike ones.” 15. And he put his hands upon them and went from there. So Jesus loves you and wants you to live. He reflects God’s feeling about you. Pray, it can just be a talk with God, ask, explain to him what is in your heart. He’s not far off from you. In fact he is closer than I am and can have mercy and direct the drs. in your proper care. I will pray for you, as I do every night. I want to print at least some of your replys but your language has to be clean. May I delete something if need be so I can print it. I told a friend about you and she wants to write you. I will show her the website. Get some sleep and take care my little sister. Love you, Jacqueline
Samantha, I got your emails. I am so glad you have a counsellor. They will be able to give much needed help to you. Prayer helps and volunteering to help others either spiritually or even at a soup kitchen or something for a few hours will help you feel worthy within yourself. There are a lot of helpful subjects on this site. Choose some and see if some inner peace can come to you. Also keep going to your counsellor she is there with you and can help. Many of the things you say have happened to your sister can be remedied by her, you are a very young person. She can remedy her situation, the choice is hers. Your Mom will be back in the resurrection, I know you know the scriptures but that seems to be the problem you are missing your mother. I know the feeling, it will lessen as time goes on, it will still hurt but not so much when you are older and can understand death a little more. Is there another sister or sisters in the cong, or really good friend that can help you? I wish I could but most of your problems seem to have a lot to do with the cong. also. I know the frame work of the cong and you won’t be able to get help if your father is an elder, but maybe when you are of age you can. Take care Samantha you will be in my prayers and others.
sam im glad that at an early age u are gettin the help u need …. to me that is a very big step and im proud of u …. i wish i had the courage to speak out and seek help at your age…. keep your head up…. if u ever need someone to talk to , vent to or even a shoulder to cry on …..my dear lil sis u are not alone and there always someone that will believe u and encourage u to let your voice be heard….. whenever u need im hear to talk or listen….. blessings to u
Hi Dayna,
Dayna Out of the cocoon is a good book. Brenda tells her story.
http://www.ifallsdailyjournal.com/view/full_story/13602058/article-Jehovah-s-Witnesses-Childhood-Story
Incest and pedophilia happens in all cultures and some religions, but not in the religion that claims to be the only one on the face of the earth that God deals with. There should be something in place even if it sisters to help those that are already worshippers. This would have kept down some abuse. The society has known about it for decades.
Be aware that your brother is probably still offending and you must watch your daughter if he comes around.
I at least have to give your parents credit, they sent you to therapy. Sometimes just saying it or talking about it in an open forum helps.
That’s how it was for me when I told my story on sixscreens. I knew noone could do anything about it (I did enough when I went public in court) but just saying it and having other brothers and sisters acknowledge my hurt after their witch hunt made me feel good. So this is s fear free zone and you can talk. Telling your story might just help someone else.
If you told me you were a good teenager and life was all rosy, I would not have believed you.
You probably have seen young ones with piercing all over black eyes, black everything. Doing hard drugs, prostituting even boys. Show me 100 and I guarantee you 99 have been molested as a child. 90 of them will have it done by a religious person and the shocking thing is that a large number are former JW children. One after the other turns out to have been a witness. There are other religions also, but the format of some make it more prevalent.
Mostly one that put women down, this allows her offspring to be attacked.
A lot of witness women work, have a family and pioneer or do the bulk of the preaching work. She can’t watch her children, the predators however are watching them and her also. Remember this with your own daughter. (just a side bar). Distract the mother or make her feel inferior, always downing her and her children will become bait for any predator looking for easy prey.
Highly organized religions with strick controls on it’s members fosters this type of environ. Whenever you are told not to do critical thinking or think independently of others you will have predators getting into that type of religion.
There is freedomn and liberty in Christ, and your conscience and awareness helps to protect the most vulnerable in a religion.
You definitely was not a consenter in this. But it should be a lesson to all the mothers that are afraid to speak up when they notice something inappropriate. I probably never was molested as a child because I could tell my mother and she would act, she never backed down.40 children was molested in my neighborhood by one man, it was on TV. He is the man who I told on to my mother 50yrs ago. My brothers called me to tell me it was on TV. I say this to encourage or empower any other young ones to tell your parent and a teacher as you did. Always speakout, you may not be believed but at least he will leave you alone.
And by the way, the predator can be a sister as was the case in my and Chinita congregation. Attempts were made on teenage boys.
Your story and similar are so plentiful. I am not saying only JW have this problem, but the smugness of saying we are perfect creates a dummy zone where people don’t watch out for each others.
All men sin and fall short of the glory of God.
In millenium, it will be a time to heal and learn and forgive. Some of the offenders have been molested themselves.
Isa. 32:1 ” A king will reign for righteousness itself.”
Isa.60:17 we will have peace as our overseers and righteousness as our taskmasters.
Dayna, I have found that almost all of the scriptures the society says are being fulfilled now among JW will actually have fulfilment during the thosand years.
Look more closely at the subjects on this sight, you may think you know the answer. The society changed most of what it taught, this site makes sense when you reconsider the topics we know so well.
And don’t you ever down yourself for the life you have led. Let it be a teacher so you can help others.
You turned out just fine. No thanks to anyone but God, Jesus, you,your husband your little girl and other little ones.
Remember 1Th.5:17 “Pray Incessantly.
Php. 4:6 (JB) “there is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, PRAY FOR IT, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving, and that peace of God which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in CHRIST JESUS.
BTW, I am amazed how so many of you see the light at 22yrs, it took me 60.
Take Care my little sister in Christ
That’s so weird, i wrote a message and thought it got erased and wrote another one..LOL oops sorry for two Long Same stories. anyways I’ve been praying really hard lately to Jehovah and asking him to guide me to what makes him happy. i hope to keep in contact with you and maybe get to know some of the sisters on here. well again I’m sorry for the two comments hope it didnt confuse you to much. hope to hear from you again my true loving sister.
Dayna that is my fault, I will unpost the one you want deleted. I have to read “Ask Jacqueline” first. Everything else on here posts immediately, so some think it was lost. How are you today. I would like to call you while I travel to the convention on Friday. It is an eight hour trip. I am so busy working now. I know your hands are full with 3 little ones. I have 3 adult children and daughter inlaws and grand children, what a blessing for me.
I don’t know if there are Bible students in your area, maybe your dear husband can check with Br. Peter. Attending one of their 2 or 3 day could be inciteful for you. Take Care I just got up so now I will get some coffee.
