    Dear Oompa and All, thanks for your congrats, love and helpful advice. I like the idea of sending a christmas card to the PO.

    My parents have been in-active for 10yrs (still in to be able to see their daughters-now only one to go), they are very happy for me and the best support. I know I'm fortunate. My brother, the most clever in the family, never joined. My sister is workin at Bethel with husband and said good bye to me y-day??? She won't write, talk to or see me from now on.She's disappointed of course and very sad too. God, that hurts. I don't think I'll ever get over it. Any ideas?

    I grieve I was once of the same mind and I'm so sorry for you who's lost your children etc. I've been crying all night. I can only hope this will start her thinking but I'm afraid it'll only make her stronger.

    your friend

    Newborn, re: the grief over your sister, it does get easier in time. But it's only natural to truly feel the loss now. At least if she and her DH are at Bethel, you won't be missing out on the lives of neices and nephews.

    I'll be your sister, if you want. I lost mine, too, to the Dubs.

    Congratulations! Welcome to freedom! It's hard at first, but as you let go and start to feel the relief from all of those WT burdens and requirements, you will be happier and happier.

    I am very lucky that I came from a non-JW family, and I was effective in converting only one cousin, who was promptly DF'd for homosexuality. I'm sorry about your sister, but most of your family seems to be on your team, so you are lucky, too!

    Regards,
