Lucy offers psychiatric help for 5 cents. She pretends to be a psychiatrist not a “physiatrist” which is apparently some type of pain management doctor. (I suspect the 1st comment misspelled psychiatrist then the 2nd person came along and didn’t remember how to spell it either so they copied the 1st guy lol)
I just wanted to thank everyone for their condolences and kind words yesterday when I commented about missing my grandad! What a lovely bunch of folks the Pickles fans are! :-)
I’m not actually disfellowshipped I just haven’t been to a meeting in close to 10yrs, so inactive. There are plenty of people in the congregation who do still speak to us, in fact my husband continues to work with several brothers. My husband and I were both raised in this congregation so there are people in it we’ve considered friends our entire lives. I certainly know plenty of good people who are witnesses and in fact my grandad was 1 as well! I actually suspect the rest of my family has other issues (it’s almost entirely my mother and the rest of them just do as she wants them to) and shunning us bc we aren’t active witnesses is a convenient excuse but she’s the jw, if she’s going to say she’s shunning us as 1 I’m not going to correct that, she’s the one who should care how it makes the religion look!
I spent the 1st 30 odd years of my life as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses so I can certainly understand your impulse to defend the religion but I can no longer believe that the Jehovah’s Witness organization is God’s organization, for many reasons, not the least of which is the way they covered up the molesting of kids in the halls for decades and are now being forced to face these kids as adults in courts around the world, it would certainly leave a bad taste in my mouth as a kid who was molested in my own congregation to know that money I put in the donation box was supporting both the witnesses fighting these cases and all the settlements they’ve been ordered to pay out! Especially when I was taught that 1 way we could recognize christendom as “Babylon the great” was the way the catholic priests molested children!

Miss my grandad. He was the father figure in my life (only he and 1 of my 6 sisters bothered to come to my wedding) Passed away a little over a year ago and I didn’t get to say goodbye nor attend his funeral as the rest of my family is shunning me since I’ve chosen to leave their religion (JW’s) they didn’t see fit to tell me he’d had a heart attack and was in the hospital or that he’d died, heard it from others after the fact. I don’t know how much he had his wits about him in the end and worry he wondered why I didn’t come see him when he was in the hospital! Sorry, today’s comic is a feel good 1, nice to see Earl and Nelson’s lovely relationship!
