  This is a poignant thread, Babel.

  Terrible what we held in our bright little hearts as children raised under such unnatural teachings. Folks who can't relate just have no idea how deeply scarred those "nice people going house to house" really are.

  i have been trying to get on with my life without jehovah's witnesses and my mom.

  just to let you know briefly about me......i was pretty much raised a jw by my mom.

  she never let me know my dad because he was "worldly" and was going to die soon.

  Hi, Strawberry Fields... it's nice to see you again.

  First of all, so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. Thank goodness you had that time to heal and have some wonderful years with him!

  As for your Mom, I am sorry about that, too. Yes, unfortunately, most JW love is conditional (the WT dictators demand it.)

  Do what you can to heal and move on... and in the meantime, yes, we do understand, all too well.

  Love,
  Baba.

  my father passed around 9 this morning.

  he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.

  we are going to miss him terribly.

  Jeff, what an astounding story, and an astounding soul. I am so very glad you two had good times together these last few years.

  May he rest in peace, joy, and discovery. Love and strength to all who loved him.

  Holy crap, Dear Lee. I am so sorry you are going through this, but so glad you are getting support (in more ways than one.) You are amazing, and I hope you can feel how much you mean to the faces and souls behind the typed words here.

  And Big Tex... it is wonderful to see you.

  Serious hugs to you both. The loss of Oompa will be felt (all over this Earth) for a long time.

  Much love,
  Baba

  this is a fascinating, beautiful story.

  "separated from his older brother at a train station, five-year-old saroo munshi khan found himself lost in the slums of calcutta.

  nearly 20 years later, living in australia, he began a painstaking search for his birth home, using ingenuity, hazy memories, and google earth.. .

  Oh, Poppers... I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Feels so strange to outlive a younger sibling... love and strength to you and your family and all who loved him.

  Rest in peace and light.
