  i got a call tuesday afternoon that my gran (in the us) had a massive stroke and was in a coma.

  they already knew that they were going to have to transfer to hospice.. i flew out wednesday, and the horrendous trip began.

  we were a bit delayed coming in to washington because there was a plane sitting on the runway.

  i want to thank all of you for all your thoughtful pms.

  i'll respond to them in time but can't at the moment.

  i wanted to just check in and let you know that i'm doing relatively ok. the confrontation with my parents was a bit sticky.

  It's very hard standing up to your jw parents, especially at your age. I found it hard when I left aged 35!!

  Hang in there and stick to your guns.

  Let's Give AudeSapere a Great Big Hug

  as many of you know, audesapere (denise) had reconstructive knee surgery last wednesday.

  the surgery ended up being quite a bit more involved then she originally anticipated.

  she has approximately 5 more weeks walking with crutches and then i believe she will continue with physical therapy.. denise made it through the first several days post-op like a trooper!

  i was just remembering some of the great sleep i used to get at the meetings.

  towards the end i would sleep while reading for the bookstudy and the watchtower lesson.

  who can top that?

  I would always fall asleep during the keynote address at district and circuit assemblies. Obviously I had suffered spiritual overload by the time the keynote address came around and my brain could take it no more.

  Was It Easy For You To Leave "The Truth"?

  was your life totally disrupted?

  did you lose a lot of family and friends?

  It definitely wasn't easy leaving 'the truth'. Not because of leaving behind the beliefs, that bit is easy.

  But being shunned by all your friends and family is a different matter. But the more they do it the less I want to go back, so I guess that doesn't work eh?

  What's the Superbowl?

  Is it a game that only Americans play?

  That would explain why the rest of the world DON'T CARE!

  We all like soccer.

  You lot now have David Beckham, so hopefully you will start liking soccer too!

  hi everybody and happy new year.

  2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.

  i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.
