Pioneer, one of my cousins called tonight, he said he wanted to kick my ass... but then he said, but you ass hole you're right... see, we all make a difference, as flawed as I am we are all chosen... Flawed as we all are... We just do as the spirit guides us.... Velta loves it when I say that... Grandma, are you out there? I love you Velta, I really do.... I hope you always have peace...
May we all have peace, but not until the war over....its a war of love and there'll be no death... we come in love and our words are strong...but love will win the day... I love my family, and that is the thng that will keep me strong...not my hate for the fools, but my love for you, and my family... God, I wish you all were here... lets have a toast, for those that have figured it all out, and those that willl... I love you all...

Dawg - that was a powerful letter. I can't totally understand what you're going thru since only my parents are witnesses, not the extended family.
I think it's critical to protect the children from the JW BS. But as for my parents - they're getting old, and I'm thinking maybe for them having this hope is OK. I wont try to tear it down from them. If they were to lose their friends (they do have really good friends), it would be devastating. For them, I think the false hope may be OK. As long as they don't try to indoctrinate MY children.

Thats a very powerful letter Dawg!. I wish i could have put one together like that years ago. If you were my brother I would stand for you. I have been left standing by myself for many years and you called it man. COWARDS. How sad. Its a shameful family legacy. All my debates, arguments, and pleaing was to no avail. I wish you luck. I get along reasonably well with my family now but I know they will never change. It leaves me with mixed emotions for them. Sadness for the cult life, hatred for their ignorance and cowardice, and love cuz they are my family. I wish you well. Your letter will stand as a testament to the fact that you were the one who knew, and tried to do something about it. Their silence will stand as a testament to their own inequities. You have no reason to feel bad. Be proud of yourself. Your very strong inside.

DAWG - You know I respect the way you are trying to wake your family up to the truth about the borg. You are fearless whatever the repercussions and always give me encouragement. Love you lots.

DAWG......Until this time, I really didn't know too much about you. I guess I haven't really takem much time at all in getting to knw many here at all. But MY FRIEND you spoke volumes here!! And no DAWG it's not that it took BALLS to say what you said, it took courage and conviction to put your LOVED ones on a level playing field.
After your words to them , INDEED! , how can any of them look you square in the eye and say that you were wrong. Maybe they consider you the crazy apostate of the family, I don't. How can they, out of your heartfelt love for them, deny you your RIGHT to sand up for REAL truth?
I say, BULLY for you MY FRIEND!!!

Inspirational, Dawg. You've called your relatives out to the point that cowering back under the GB will cause some discomfort and shame, and rightfully so. You've also managed to restore this ex-JW's pride in his decision to leave. Thank you. I hope this shakes some sense into your family.

Hi Honey,
Granny is here! You know us old folks have to get our sleep. I am so proud of you. You know that. God has His hand on you and
I think you know it. The Bible says "God is love". With your heart, no one can wonder that you are not in tune with His love.
Some day all lovers of righteousness will stand together. There are a lot of us out there. No one can put us down unless we let them.
You are in my heart and prayers, my dear one.
Love and hugs,
Gramma Velta
