my mom had her valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery today.
the operation lasted five hours, and they had just gotten her to her room at 8:00pm when she went into cardiac arrest.
the doctor tried everything, even opening up her chest and massaging her heart.
((((((((((Karen))))))))))
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time.

1. Blaming your farts on me... not funny... not very funny at all!
2. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!
3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?
4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!
5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back.
8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
9. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur?
10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.

Best thing I've heard all day!!! I'm very happy for you and your family!

just a question for the board's input.... background information:.
my wife, raised in a jw home, very popular elder as her father, living through the entire 1975 thing ("honey don't worry about passing 7th grade.
next year will be the new system..."), but beat up for years by the mind-control and spiritual abuse by the wts.... she has recently officially da'd from the society this spring, had her first birthday party ever (a huge blast of a great time!).
In my case, counselling helped me so much. And, because I was a bad JW and was going to college, it was free. I even continued seeing a counselor for a year after graduation.
In the beginning, I had nightmares two or three times a week. It was always the same, destruction at Armageddon. But, fortunately, the more I worked out my issues, the fewer and further between they were. I still have dreams about the WT to this day, but now they are very benign. In my last dream, my "best friend" growing up came to "check" on me and see if I was okay. Afterwards we went fishing. That's a big difference!

was wondering.
in one word, how would you all describe your experience/s in leaving the club?
mine would have to be cathartic

how many of you gave up a college scholarship to appear "spiritual"?
jt's thread about "homegrown lawyers" and the wtbs willingly sending certain ones to college started me thinking about that question.
i know i for one, relinquished that scholarship to show how "spiritual" i was at 18. .
I didn't give it up.
I took it and ran...
away....
from the JWs.

Congratulations for being the kind of Dad everyone needs and few actually receive.
