Aunt Connie: Don't ever change! If you are what you say you are, then it is very telling that the only ones you can be yourself with is apostates! You're rude, opinionated and outspoken... And we love you for it!
I second the motion, Captain Obvious! Aunt Connie you are a scream! I would love to meet you in person! Your thread 'Memorial Invitations Revoked' has given me so many laughs! Laughter is healing. Keep being you! Is And Don't Call Me Shirley your brother? LOL. And yes, doctrine is applied arbitrarily depending on the BOE. No doubts there.

Rub: I think most of us have regular daydreams about some of our friends doing exactly what your friend has! That's so exciting! Help her along, then introduce her to us! She'll make a nice addition to the JWN family. Although once she reads Steve Hassan's books and JWfacts, she'll be good and ready to join the forum.
You are right, THIS IS SO EXCITING! I have my friend back!
