he has not had the internet, he has not studied the bible much since being disfellowshipped, he has been feeling guilty and considering returning for the last six months.. i had no way of contacting him, having lost touch in the midst of his many moves.

well its been well over a year now that ive stepped foot into a kindgom hall.

it was a rough start with many mixed emotions that i know many of you can relate to.

over the past year ive learned so much about myself and others.

Imagining unbidden horrible things that you choose not to act on...is strength.

I have no argument there! Thanks for putting a positive spin on it!

depending on what it motivates me to do

AuldSoul: THAT is key.... You got it right on the head, my friend! ( by the way I always enjoy your comments)

I understand what you mean too.... I guess in THIS situation I feel I should be stronger, because when I allow "them" to get to me, I feel like doing mean horrible things, and that is out of character for me! LOL!

In other aspects of life, it's different and I can control myself more and make the best of it or turn the situation into something good!

I don't think "the truth" will ever completely leave our minds, so there is no use struggling.

Warlock: unfortunatly, you are probably right. ( SIGH)

It's obvious since we see some who have left years and years ago, some who've only studied, or just have relatives "in" go through these struggles.

Are you saying you should be able to pretend you don't love those you love simply because they are retarded in their love by organizational dogma? I don't see how pretending we don't love people is strength. I'd say it takes more strength to acknowledge and endure the pain their choice causes us than it does to pretend the pain isn't there.

AuldSoul: Hummm good question!

I guess I feel allowing them hurt me again and again, IS a weakness. Feeling pain, is only human. Does that make any sense?

But, he is missing out on so much, he has two grand kids, and soon to be a third. Hes the one missing out, not me. If only he could see how happy I was. Hes never met my husband either. He doesn't even know me anymore. Its his problem, not mine. It just takes time .

Nowman.... GREAT attitude! How sad though, your dad is truly missing out!!! I hope that he, like your mom, someday will see the light!
