i can't remember the drive home from the airport...all i can remember is how relieved, how incredibly thankful, i was to be back on my own bed, in a safe environment, with two parents who would help me get through all of this.
it was the first peaceful night of sleep i'd had in a long long time.. i also don't remember much at all about the explanations i tried to give to my folks.
but i do remember this: i apparently told my dad enough such that he was compelled to drive over to see the congregation servant (as they were then called), who had himself been at bethel...and demanded to know why he hadn't told my folks about what bethel life was really like..why he had let them send their firstborn son into such an environment without any warning whatsoever.
Craig, your life story topics have been very addictive, I don't think I posted on them, but wanted you to know that they are helpful in knowing that what each of us has been through, we have not been alone after all. Thanks for sharing. I am watching for the next segment.

haven't seen him around.
anyone know what's up?
i sure do miss the gumb-master.
Gumby if you don't get back here soon I am going to hold your little buddy hostage!
its getting to that time of year again, so who wants to do another secret santa?
it worked out brilliantly last year and the year before.
if any one wants to join in let me know by either posting in this thread(to help keep it bttt so people can see it, lol), or pm'ing me or emailing me at [email protected]
I'm in too!
a few months ago my jw sister emailed me out of the blue asking for me to suggest a good telescope for her little girl (about 12, but i'm not sure).
my niece has had a strong interest in science since she was very little and my sister is trying to encourage her.
if you are wondering, yes, my sister and her jw husband do shun me... so basically she got the info she needed and then disappeared again.
Don't worry about tagging it as a birthday gift. Send it at the time of her birthday, she'll know what you are intending, but you will put her on the spot with her parents if it is sent as a birthday present.
in november i will turn 35.. i did ok in the morning of life.
i was a pretty happy kid, maybe a little weird but not extremely so.
i got good grades in school, loved my mom like nothing else, never dreamed of getting into trouble.
How do I find contentment and peace during this part of my life when I have so little to hang my hat on or to feel proud of? How do I live the rest of my life without despair and remorse over the lost opportunities and the unrealized potential? How do I solidify my identity and my place in society when I have neither of these things?
By doing these things one day at a time.
it's thursday again and time for our weekly vigil for outnfree.
please send your good thoughts, positive vibes and prayers tonight starting at 8:00 central (9:00 eastern, 7:00 mountain, 6:00 pacific) to brenda ryan (outnfree's real name) in the detroit, mi metro area.
let's visualize her cancer fading away while the chemo does its job without making her feel ill. .
Hugs & Prayers for you Outnfree
got a phone call from my daughter who lives in florida a couple of hours ago.
her significant other who i chose to call my son-in-law (because he is the best thing to ever happen to her) got a phone call that his 6 year old daughter was killed in an auto accident near lake placid, florida and his 5 year old son is in very critical condition.
the ex wife is also critical.
((((((((((((HappyDad & Family))))))))))))
I can't begin to imagine what you are going through at this time. I do know how much hurt I am feeling for you right now. HD let us know when you are back, we are here for you okay?

my daughter came home from work while ago and told me that some of the snooty elite in the woodlands (north of houston) community are complaining because there are a lot of cars with louisiana license plates parked on their streets.
they are also complaining that some houses in the woodlands community are housing too many families.
where do these snotty people think these refugees should go?
They have no compassion. If they lost their house I guess they figure they would relocate and buy another. No compassion for those who lost everything and have no where else to turn.
