I just had the best two weeks of my life. I am on a count down to when it will be perfect again. Seven months and counting.
Although my kids and I have a damn good time together too.

The Brought-in, and the universal exit of a dub
by wanderlustguy inof course there are exceptions to everything, this is strictly my view and no judgments should be implied.... .
there are different levels of brought-in, starting with the varying ages of childhood, when the childrens parents are brought in.
for the purposes of this, i am dealing with from teenage on up.. .

Do you think this is tacky and just plain pathetic (Watchtower) ?????
by run dont walk ini just returned from ontario, where a family member died, i was reading the obit, and i know its been said millions of times, but this really blew me away.
"a private family burial at ______ cemetery.
a memorial service will be held at the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses on saturday august 13, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. as expressions of sympathy, please send donations to world wide work of jehovah's witnesses.".

I think it is extremely tacky and pathetic in this instance to request donation be sent to the JW's. On the other hand, I actualy think it is nice when I see other obits request "in lieu of flower please send donations to ________" because the blank is usually a charity or research organization that affected the persons life/death. So maybe I just don't like the JW's and am more critical.

Thank you everyone. My kids are already coming through to keep me busy. We went school shopping today. Argh! I spent a small fortune!
I LOVE to do crafts. I also love Christmas. I knew this was going to be a rough period so I did some preemtive (spelling??) ebaying. I got two books on easy Christmas crafts to do with the kids. They just came in the mail today. I am already looking forward to starting some of them.
I have to admit, my kids are my savior. I see Andrew in each and every one of them. Without them, I would be in trouble. I also work full-time. So, as I said, logically, I know I will be just fine. It is just readjusting to him being gone again.
Thank you all for your support. You have no idea how much you have lifted my spirits.

Does your family still think you are coming back?
by kid-A inhope springs eternal in the wts.
despite having left before even being baptized, i would have to say my parents still wholeheartedly believe i will someday come around, .
get baptized, become active and maybe even become an elder !

Have you become the 'Pagan' that you thought you would?
by AK - Jeff ini mean - when we were witnesses we always thought that is what one who 'leaves jehovah' does - goes right out and becomes evil incarnate.
or do you live a life similar to what you did as a witness?
on a scale of 1-10, how wicked would you be considered if the witnesses were making the call on your current lifestyle ?

Let's see. I'm married with three kids. I'd say I'm pretty tame. Although, I do have a very W I D E wild streak. Nothing too serious though.

I dropped Andrew (Troucul) off at the airport this morning. He is on his way back to Iraq. I was warned that it was going to be harder to see him leave the second time. I just didn't know how hard. I miss him so much already.
His tour is another 7 - 8 months long and I don't have much to look forward too, other than the holidays but even those seem empty without him. Prior to him coming home these past two weeks, I was remodeling our house, but I am done now so I don't know what to do with myself.
I have a very strong personality, although a bit on the emotional side, so logically I know that the kids and I will be fine. I just can't seem to think past the pain right now.
Thanks for listening..
