I read this last night and although I didn't post in it, I have spent a lot of time thinking about it... I feel so badly for your friend Verdelle, Bebu.. It is so sad. I hate how much the WTS can affect people and hurt the very things that should be so natural in lives. I wish I had some insight to make this all better, but of course I have none... only sadness..

I think of the kindness you show to all people young, old, religous, skeptical, intelligent or even dimwitted ones like Gumby and it reconfirms your an amazing person..with cute kids to boot.
To say that one person cannot make a difference in this world is clearly proven wrong by you

This thread is getting embarassing. Really. Egad, I'd better not meet any of you in person!! Now I have pressure to perform, or something. I'm jealous of gumby--everyone knows he's a b@st@rd.
(But Tale, I'll take any compliment from you!! )
You know... I wonder about how to carefully discover who else might be "marginalized" or collateral damage around here. Maybe thru networking--who knows who's backgrounds... It's a small town, and I haven't been here too long. But if I did... then what?
(....Have 'em all over for coffee?? ...That might actually be an idea....)
I'm just thinking aloud. Don't panic! Don't hold me to it.

Upbuilding thread bebu.. and I have to concur with my friend, Talesin when she said,
"You ARE an extraordinary person"
And if your having everyone over for coffee. then I'm going to first in line.
you are very unique and special to us here.
You give us a different perspective on things because of the fact that you never were a Jehovah's Witness and most of all.. you just CARE.
thanks ((bebu))
love

You are an encouraging person in all your posts, to everyone, and I appreciate that.
I hope you will be coming over for coffee soon. Your chair is always waiting!

Edited to add: I am finding a couple of other networking people, and we are doing some informal brainstorming about what we can do locally... we'll see if it can lead anywhere.
