    My uncle Gus

    He was one generous person. My uncle died back in 1999. He just loved giving and making people happy. I'll never forget him. He gave more to others than he kept for himself... He was just happy seeing others happy...

    The JW's pale in comparison with their free bible studies........"with a string attached"

    By far, my mother. She is an amazing woman and without her my father and I would be in the looney bin, dead, or worse.

    Second would be my friend Greg who I just called and asked to bring me something from the store as it's freezing out and raining and I have no car.

    That's true Cygnus....mothers are so generous

    It's funny, I never met generous JW's just obedient ones

    I would probably have to say my father. He was a lifetime janitor and never really had much money, but he would give the shirt off his back if he could help someone. He would give various "needy" JWs money without wanting anything in return. Unfortunately he got walked on for being such a nice guy. One guy who was studying asked my dad to co-sign on some credit cards and then defaulted on them. My dad had to keep paying. Sad.

    My grandma. Grandpa, too. They were overly generous with us kids when we little pagans.

    Then my parents starting studying with the witness and restricted the gifts from grandparents.

    Eight years later my parents moved us 3000 miles away.

    Eventually grandparents showered their generosity on the kids in their neighborhood and gave us just token gifts occaisionally.

    In her final few years, she and I became rather close and we talked frequently (from opposite sides of the country). She died 4 days before my trip to visit her.

    I miss my grandma. We both missed out on alot.

    Cults suck.

    My grandparents, on my mom's side.....they didn't have a pot to pee in, but they gave freely of what they had. When I was little, I always loved my other grandparents a wee bit more, as they gave us more, but as I grew up, I learned to appreciate the little things the other grandparents did.....and I love them dearly . They are the salt of the earth.

    Now, I'd have to say that's a beautiful thing! Have you been married long?
