    I'm GLAD that worked out so WELL for you!!!!

    Isn't it AWESOME when people can break down walls between them and just show LOVE!!!

    I'm so HAPPY for you!

    ps - I'm living with the hope that by showing love to jdub family members you can show them that you are not what they have been TOLD you are and will see that you may not be as off as they thought. Following Christ's example and showing LOVE can make them curious as to what YOU have!

    Hope it all works out for you and me both!!!

    To have regained your sister is a wonderful thing. I am very happy for you. You know, despite what those a-holes in Brooklyn say, I think it really is true that love conquers all. Hooray for you and your sister. Smart women, too peas in a pod.

    Beautiful experience! Well done, and like others have said, forget the doubt planting and just enjoy having your sister back in your life. Your story reminded me so much of me and my brother, you might like to read it here - http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/21351/1.ashx

    I hate to say this, but she may have interpreted that "I'm sorry" to mean that you are sorry for doubting about Jehovah--thinking that you acknowledged how you wronged HIM (not her) and that, while you may be spiritually weak at present, in time...and with that repentant attitude...you may increase your spiritual focus again. [meeting attendance, ministry, etc.] She may be entertaining equal hopes for your return, just as your hope for her is to remove the wool from over her eyes and to free her to leave.

    I only bring this up because if things progressed with the two of you getting closer under such a [tragic] comedy of errrors, the pain and dizzying shock of it would be that much more intensified if discovery led to a reverting to your former estranged state. In other words, enjoy the renewed connection, but try to discern (discreetly, of course) if she is still placing conditions on your association with her, and if those conditions are ones you can comfortably meet with. [and vice versa]

    That having been said, I'm so happy that you have found your sister again! Good for you. And, especially, good for you for being proactive and mature in taking the first step.

    You know what, just enjoy having your sister back for a long, long while. These times we get with them, they're too precious to waste.
