Bumble Bee- I'm glad your mother and you talk now. And have an understanding !
Gretchen- Yeah, I wish his mom would respond in a more understanding way, but she is brainwashed ! She sent him a 3rd message which I will have time to post tomorrow as a thread, but I have to go to work now !
Thanks for all your other comments friends, I will respond to each of you tomorrow more thoroughly when I have more time ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Mr Flipper thank you for sharing this with us.
the ex-wife says
Would it make you happy if I just stopped ( being a witness) ? I wonder, would I have the same morals ? Was my life all in vain ? Tell me then, why didn't I stop ? I had so many chances, my mom was very sick, sad to say and took her own life . I had a very unhappy childhood. I would never go back to that . I had a very unhappy marriage for 19 years . But I did recieve 3 very valuable jewels ( the children ). And I tried, but if it never worked out , I never looked back .
You know IMO just not being a JW doesn't mean that you have to be a bad person ( as in morals, lifestyle). There are lots of people in this world who have come from bad backgrounds and they are good people. Its history and how you deal with it and get on with your life than to dwell on it that is your own fault. Deal with it.
Again you have a truely remarkable son!
Take care

I wish I were with you all having a beer.... good letter, nice young man.. tell him I owe him a cold one.
Mr. Flipper,
Thank you for sharing this letter, and your son's response. He is obviously wise beyond his years.
(Maybe this has something to do with his getting an education, as well as having an astute father)

Thanks JK for your astute observance my friend ! I'm pretty proud of the young man too ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
