Get well soon, Brooke! That was one long surgery. I have missed alot of posts and didn't realize that you and Had Enuf both had surgery. I'm sending you both warm wishes and healing thoughts.

by HadEnuf injust wanted to let everyone know that brookie is home recuperating from her surgery on monday.
it was over 6 hours long and now she has stiches and staples in both legs...as they had to take a vein from her good leg to repair the aneurism...so she is cut up pretty bad.

Ooooh, the more I think about this the madder I get. It's is mean-spirited to rub salt in the wound. I would write them a letter (and put tracking on it so you know it was delivered) and ask them what kind of religion (and individual) gets a perverse satisfaction in blatant emotional blackmail and cruelty, and tell them how evil it is. Put the wrong motives right back on them. They deserve it for being so heartless. Natural familial feelings are suspended on their part, so don't play into their hands by showing hurt. Sometimes well-placed self-righteous anger is necessary.
JMHO

Oh, how cold! At least, that's how I would take it-like they were trying to rub it in.
But on the other hand, perhaps others here are correct in saying that your parents are trying to balance the JW-think and their natural feelings for their own flesh and blood, because the dubs I know wouldn't even send me a momento like that invitation. They are the type that threw our pictures out once there was any sign of trouble. Not sending them back, mind you, but right into the garbage, as if we never existed.

Family tragedy.........HappyDad
by HappyDad ingot a phone call from my daughter who lives in florida a couple of hours ago.
her significant other who i chose to call my son-in-law (because he is the best thing to ever happen to her) got a phone call that his 6 year old daughter was killed in an auto accident near lake placid, florida and his 5 year old son is in very critical condition.
the ex wife is also critical.

Trevor-the page that you quoted is one I sent to our elders in our disassociation letter. I'm sure they never read it, but it sure felt good sending it. There is a small part of me that hopes that the one or 2 decent elders would read it and think for themselves, but I know it's wishful thinking.

Well, I'm in central Wisconsin, so yesterday was just dreary and bleak, with heavy rain and thunderstorms. I know what you mean, though, because I've seen the sky when it is perfect tornado weather, and it's scary when things turn yellow and green.
