  hi friends, my father died saturday morning.

  i want to happily say that i sent my dad a print-out of some of your key material re;org, last week and he read it all...witnesses were 'on his back' lately, and he appreciated it.

  keep up the positive focus..it is so important..i wanted to write more, but i guess i'm in shock 'cause i just can't do it...thanks to all of you for your support and help with all the stuff that i've been on the board about..peace and love to all of you and your families..nk

  well, today is the first day of winter.

  winter here in canada is cold and long.

  we have about 4 to 5 months of damn snow every year.

  I am definately not a winter person, I love to look at the beautiful lights and the sparkling snow, but when that temperature drops, I am snuggled up in a blanket to keep warm till the sun comes out. Put me by a fireplace and I am totally happy.

  Did you raise your kids as witnesses?

  my mom raised us as witnesses, and finally left the wts after we grew up and left the house.

  my dad left after too.

  now my mom is so sorry about it all, and how we had to live, with my father an elder, the strictness, and of course all the things that a good witness family could not do.. how many of you raised your kids as witnesses?

  Yes I did raise my kids in the truth, my husband howeve was not and never will be a JW. When they reached a certain age and expressed to me that they did not want to go to hall with me, I never pressured them and said that was fine, the choice was theirs to do as they wanted. It was never a forced issue to me.

  after seven years we finally got a call from an elder this morning.

  he wants to come over and talk to steve (he wouldn't talk to me or give me any message).

  this particular elder was from steve's old congregation in austin, texas.

  I must agree with others here. Go with your gut feeling, I can see no good coming out of you going to the shower. Yes you will get odd looks, even coments, that could cause you more hurt. Sometimes when one is hurting, others get satisfaction in rubbing the salt into the wound. Why put yourself through that. Send a present with your mom and a card, at least then the ball is in your court. If this girl was truly your friend, she would have been there keeping in contact with you, but she is doing what she is told to do, to stay away from you, and why put yourself in such an awkward situation, it would be to painful.

  You are a sweet person, don't let others hurt you this way. Take care.

  Honest Opinion, Please

  by Windchaser in

  i'm not very craftsy, but i have a thing about crocheting dishcloths.

  it's a basket-weave design and i have mentioned in the past how it helps me to keep sane.

  i have been suicidal lately and thought, why not send these dishcloths out to my friends and they will always have a little piece of me to be remembered by.

  The best remembered and treasured gifts a person can receive are gifts from the heart.

  Send your hand-made cloths, they are great, I received some once from my sister-in-law, and I loved them.

  Then again knowing that you are ok yourself and not thinking of suicide is a greater gift.

  We care.
