  Quendi-So very, very kind of you to reach out to him. He probably hasn't had a stimulating conversation regarding religion in years. About his wanting to be reinstated: As humans, we often long for things we no longer have, we remember the good old days, even if they were quite difficult. People pine for their lost teen years and/or salad days. Maybe that is what he is doing, rather than remembering the tedious meetings, the boring talks, getting ready to go the meetings and driving to the KH regardless of the weather. He's probably forgotten th chore that field service was, and only remembers the coffee, donuts.

  I'm sure Reading does love the money. Plus, the people attending have been instructed to be on their best behavior. When attending there about 6 years ago, we (the JW's) were advised we could not use the parking garages on Friday. We had to find parking on the street. Sovereign Center is in a run down barrio neighborhood. We had to park between 3/4 - 1 mile away and hoof it carrying toddlers, bookbags, lunch, cushions, sweaters and various other misc. We were afraid our car would be stolen by the time we got back in the evening. We had to pass by lots of young people hanging around and looking scary. Nary a word of English could be heard spoken by the locals. Our car was intact, however, my feet were not, after walking in heels on the concrete sidewalks all that distance, packed down like a mule.

  lil-why do you bother with Granny? She sounds mean spirited and selfish. It might be better for you to shun her, stop having any contact with her, don't show her your precious baby. She is toxic for you, especially right now. I wonder if she would've gone to the baby showers for the daughters of Lot, if they would've had them. They certainly should have known it wasn't right to bop you daddy while he was drunk.

  Rudderless, I sail through life,

  Bumping into unfriendly shores,

  Seeking a safe place to hide,

  My compass is broken,

  My direction unsure,

  The horizon is before me,

  Yet, I know not how to reach it.
