how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?
do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?

after a lenthy illness, 10 years in total, my mother, margaret stecko, passed away peacefully today surrounded by family.
she was 84, and leaves behind 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
she was a jw but never shunned me.
I am so sorry for your loss of your mother. Reading about your mother, she was a strong women who had to endure many things during the war. (I know...my mom was in Germany during the war)
Thank you for sharing this with us. Sending you my condolences and love. Tweety
i love cruising.
cruised twice in the six months, have one planned for april and another one for 12 days in the greek islands with spain, italy and turkey.
royal carib all the way.. what do you like to do, been anywhere special or exciting?
My husband and I love cruises. We just went on one last Oct 2005 and another one in April 2006. We like vacationing with friends. We have a blast on those cruises! (My hubby gets cruises really cheap, plus we have a visa card which gives you points to fly free)
Our next trip will be to Germany, Italy and England. Probably in April maybe May of 2007.

our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.
the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.
he was in a car accident.

I'm so sorry for your lose...My thoughts are with you!

i feel a little odd in posting this..... i am a 39 year old former witness, former elder, former just about everything.
been through much in the last two years... realized not all things i believed were true to me, not all things in the faith work the way i thought.
no anger about the past... i did what i believed to be true to myself, and what others do is their decision.
Hi Somlet,
Just wanted to welcome you to the forum and hope to see more posting. Was born near Pittsburg area...and have a lot of family in Pa.

.
elders are supposed to meet everyone once a year, either df'd ones or inactive, just to try to bring them back.. in my case, they usually try right before the memorial.
how about you?.
They have never tried to contact me in all the years that I was df'd.
it's dedpoet's 55th birthday today, although he celebrated it on saturday with a great party, had a special beer brewed etc.
he doesn't drink much usually, but was extremely drunk on saturday lol.
he took some getting home, but we made it!!.
Happy Birthday!!!

this new database allows anyone to view your drivers license on line.
not a good idea in the age of identity theft.
there is a box to check if you want it removed.
Now everyone will know what I look like.

two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.
i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.
Dear Paul and wife,
This is a time that your family should of called you or at least have sent you and your wife a card. To go through such a loss will take time to heal....(speaking from experience.) I am so sorry for your loss!
