and it was all because he didn't want to attend the same church. My parents didn't shun me when I walked away from Catholicism and became a dub. In fact, none of my family did.

I remember oompa well. It was very clear that his split with the Witnesses caused him a great deal of pain. A reminder of how we should treat those who are weak and who need more than the average amount of help.... Oompa you will be missed.

The world has lost much of it's colour, much of it's brightness today.
Eric, may you find the peace denied you in life.

I'm so sorry for everyone hurting here. I first saw what happened and my eyes flew open wide and my heart stopped...though I have only posted here once I was so encouraged by so many of you posting to help me. I thought "Oompa" was one of the many who had shared with me on that post and when I tore back through it I saw it was actually Oodad. Only then did the tears flow, for Oompa, though I hadn't met him, I know his pain - I know how hopeless this purgatory we are in is. Time to go - to read more about him and all of you. Much Love, Meadow36.
THIS is real. THIS is the truth - someone is gone now, in the cold hard light of day the esoteric (sp?) platitudes from the publications are all just like the extra words we use to fill up a book report!
