  my mom's memory (mental clarity) has been slipping every day.

  for the last three days she has insisted that we go and see dad (he passed away 2 months ago).

  she wants to bring him his shoes or something (can't tell).

  Poor thing...so sad:-(
  
  Must be hard on you. On the other hand, your mother is so fortunate to have you.
  
  Hugs to you both...

  father in law went into hospice and died.. mother, after a five month illness, died.. chaos financially.. started college, made dean's list in the midst of all this disaster.. obtained substitue teacher's certificate from state of mo.

  and have began to sub-teach.. i want to apoligize: i did not send out my christmas cards: they are still on the shelf ready to mail...overwhelmed....hope everyone will forgive me.. i have logged on to the board, now and then, and appreciate the discussions.. my son bought me a 07 kawasaki vulcun.....nice ride...... i, also, promised my wife....signed a contract.....to reduce ex-jw activity: i am out of that contract now, however, will continue to be a bit "reserved" in my activities..... if anyone is in sw mo and wants to share a cup of coffee....stop by...give me a week's notice.... wishing you all the best, .

  Vernon Williams,
  
  No, I cannot name a non man-made religion.
  
  Then, allow me to re-phrase.
  
  I should have said "I put all religions in the same basket"

  I was born and raised catholic.
  
  Very nice veneer...all gold:-)
  
  But for instance...if you think JWs and pedophilia is bad, just have a look at the catholic religion. Badder than bad.
  
  At this stage, I put all man made religions in the same basket.
  
  But of course, that is only my own opinion.

  If you know in your heart that you gave all of yourself, what else is there to give? perhaps you only need to take a break, regroup, and reconsider.
  
  And for the many who did not see you as the "loving self sacrificing amazing individual" that you claim you are...it is their loss.
  
  I know it sounds very cliché but it is only too true that a door has to close for another one to open.
  
  Keep watching the Eckhart/Oprah show...it gets better and better:-)

  so, we aren't going to stay young and never die.

  how do you feel about aging, especially those of you that are over 35?

  aging poses some concerns for me, especially since i am 49 and pretty much single.

  Why worry and complain about the inevitable?
  
  I eat well. I exercise.

  Long last letter to dad...please comment-not mailed yet

  by dawg in

  2. friends

  dad, .

  i doubt youll even read this letter since it comes from your son, a son youve abandoned over your religious views, but i wanted to write you one final letter to see if theres any hope that you can come to your senses as far as this religion goes and we can renew our relationship.

  im doing this because i care for you and mom deeply and feel very much distressed that you two refuse to see anyones opinion as being factual other than your own when it concerns the jw religion.

  A great letter that sent shivers down my spine, and brought misty eyes:-(
  
  A letter obviously straight from your heart.
  
  I can only try to imagine getting such a letter from my own son...
  
  I sure hope he takes time to read it.
  
  And if not, it will be a great loss on both sides...all in the name of religion that is supposed to unite the world:-(
