    Thanks everyone..one good thing that came of it is I talked for a long time w/my parents last night...not a lick of JW stuff..all family related and very revealing. Which maybe I'll get to down the road.

    weds...a dustup is an argument or a bit of a fight. He wanted me to do something I was incapable of doing for several reasons. He was mad because I couldn't/wouldn't. I don't think he was very happy near the end at all.

    Sincerely,

    So sorry Valis, your point about the religion taking a person's passion away was something Makena and I were talking about first thing this morning. He used to play piano at the circuit assemblies, and he told me that every time literally dozens of the JWs would say "oh, my dream is to play music, first thing I'll devote my time to in the new system"...

    sorry to hear about your uncle.

    I'm glad you had a long discussion with your parents. Maybe, just maybe there is hope for them yet.

    Hugs,

    Joy
