As a never-been JW, I mostly lurk here trying to learn how to deal with my JW daughter. One thing I have learned is the many relationships that are so sadly hurt or destroyed. I live near Atlanta where there is a church pastored by a man named Andy Stanley and I am going to post a link to his site where there are some sermons. I don't attend that church but I do usually listen to him later in the week because he is a pretty good speaker and teacher. I just thought of some of the posts that I have read here as I was listening to last Sunday 7-2. I am not saying that it will solve anything or even help....it free why not jerry

2 Samuel 14:14 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him.
