well folks, it had to happen, i returned to the kingdom hall.. or at least to its parking lot.. but not to worry my little jwd'ers, my return was in true rollerstyle!.
i had dropped off my mom a few days previous when she made some remarks that steamed me, i had felt she was talking through her teeth, but i now know i could only have been half right.. she calls and rambles a while, then directs me to keep her teeth safe.
after i got the explanation for this cryptic remark from her i go and investigate..... there, on my bathroom counter, next to the tushie-cleanliness paraphernalia, is an unexplained white plastic container which contained my mother's lower plate.. smelled 'minty.'.
Dave,
I love reading your posts, I feel like i'm there with you and can visualize the whole thing!

i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.
that you all found your way here is amazing.
you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.
Thanks for the post jgnat,
I'm also glad to be in your company and everyone her on JWD!

recently, i was reacquainted with a friend that i knew since i started grade school.
he grew up in the world wide church of god and i as a witness.
neither of us did christmas so often we would find ourselves in the library while the rest of the school did christmas activities.. .

Joy riding in a stolen car, crashing into someone's home.....funny the elder dad didn't step down, and the kid got private reproof. He was 17

so, i get the call today from my aunt, who still speaks to me, and she fills me in, and tells me the visitation is friday (i'm not going), and the funeral is saturday.
my dad told her that he wants me to "sit with the family".
i never went to pay my last respects to him or talk to him, because he was an elder forever, and i was told he wouldn't speak to me, so i never went and never sent a card, nothing.
((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))
I'm so sorry about your grandfather. Make the choice to go or not based on how you feel. If you, deep down inside want to go and you don't you will never forgive yourself.
For those who say "I miss you", tell them that you are still here, still alive, give them you number and address and tell them they can visit or call if they want. Remember it's their choice that they are not seeing you. You are no longer are of their religion, so what? Many families co-exist together and are not the same faith. That really pisses me off, I'm upset for you on this one! Don't let their bullying techniques get you down!
Do what feels right to you on this one.

our fun-loving friend, nvrgnbk, has turned somber and apologized for "everything.
" i, too, am an unwitting transgressor and owe many apologies, mostly for things i'm sure i don't even remember i did.. let us all apologize here, and then begin an absolution thread, so we've all cleared the air and everyone is forgiven by everyone else.. i'll start:.
i'm sorry.. penitently,.
Since everybody is apologizing......I don't know what I did or said or will say or do in the future but I'm sorry!
There..I think I feel better?
