Thanks for all your comments ! Great takes on things !
BABA YAGA- Very well put by you. We have survived a very controlling abusive cult to be sure ! I drink a toast tonight to those who have escaped, and feel deeply for those who did not escape, perhaps dying for stupid reasons that the Jehovah's Witnesses made them believe they had to die for. And I too hold out hope that our loved ones who are still witnesses may yet escape the clutches of that mind control cult.
HOBBITLORE- I'm glad for you that you are pursuing your Biology interests . And that your children are now involved in extracurricular activities after school. That is great ! It will help them grow and learn !
QUIRKY- My wine glass stays active throughout the week at nights as well . It helps deter the progression of stress somewhat.
WINGS- I miss you too sis ! We had great conversations this weekend and it was great hearing everyone's stories ! There really was deep respect shown and true support shown between people with unconditional caring and love for each other. That was the way it was supposed to be when we were witnesses ! Interesting to see that we all have the ability to show that caring without being goaded on by the elders, or an organization, isn't it ? We do it because we want to ; not because someone is telling us to.
DWNTWNPHOTG- I'm glad you have found a new family and circle of friends bro ! It certainly has helped you survive all the hardships you went through. Congratulations !
AK JEFF- I'm glad you have moved on as well friend ! You certainly have a lot on your plate, but you seem to keep yourself very busy with other activities aside from raising your grandchildren. And that is good you let yourself pursue hobbies like golf, because it keeps you balanced to deal with the stresses. I'm happy you have got to spend more time with your dad as well ! Nice to have you as a mod here ; as you have a balanced " sane " approach to things discussed on the board. We really are all survivors ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
