Worried about you, Brotherdan

    I don't know if you lurk here (my guess would be that you do check in every once in a while), but you haven't done anything on your blog in almost a month, and you haven't been here in just as long. I hope you're doing okay. I hope you're handling the org, your wife, your children... and your own spirituality and sanity.

    You don't have to respond, at all. I just wanted you to know that I (and I'm sure others) am thinking of you, and do care.

    1Peter 5:7 'Cast all your worries onto Him, because he cares for you."

    Luke 11: 9-10 "And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."

    Peace and strength to you,

    Tammy

    Every once and a while I think about Dan, hope you're ok.

    This religion eats you alive and spits you out in such a devastating way that it can take years to piece your life together. Others never recover.

    From what I have seen here and from my personal experience, it is very hard for someone coming from a fundmentalist group like the JW's to find a "middle ground", they either become atheists or go for another "fundamentalist" expression of religion.

    Dan seemed like the type that needed an absolute view of things with something to fall back on, in his case the bible being inerrant and being able to expaling everything from the bible ( a JW and Fundi trait).

    There is comfort in that, in having something to hold on to when we are questioned - either disbelief or belief based on soemthing tangiable, aka the bible.

    I hope he is doing well and that he has found peace.

    Dan was a main feature on here when I first came on. He had that bigger avatar then. I miss him.

    Btw, where is Vampire, hope he is doing OK. Miss you vamp!

    Everyone who comes on here is somewhat a Hero. This takes guts.

    Here's to all the missing Hero's...

    (sorry Tec, just had to go on a bit)

    Thinking of you too, Brotherdan. I know you are in very difficult times and hope for God's spirit to fill you with love, joy and peace during these times and always.
