  First Easter Service

  well i did it today - having said to myself all week i would not go to a church this sunday i decided to go - it became a very moving experience for someone who does not normally get "moved"!.

  after removing myself from the jws over the last few years i have started to attend a local church (nazerene - as close to non denominational as we have around here) - i stay un involved with any day to day activities just attend services 2/3 times a month - always have avoided any communion services - till today - having sat quietly by as most in attendance filed through for the wine/bread i felt moved to partake myself - i came to see that jesus had died for me and i can acknowledge this by taking the symbols - after over 30 years of being excluded/not allowed to even think of this involving me - i cried as i dipped my 1/2 inch circle of bread into the glass - returned to my seat and quietly wept - i felt so happy and yet sad too - .

  i really cannot explain how i feel now today but wanted to share my days event - i am in a good place today but when things happen as today i really see the negative effects the jws had on our lives - their going beyond the written word dictating a persons daily choices is beyond excuse -.
