Sounds wonderful David. I've been following your story on here of your son and daughter in law waking up. You got them back and all your dear grandchildren to spoil and celebrate fun times with. I'm so happy for you. I wish this for everyone who has lost family to the Borg. Thanks for your lovely story today.

Happy New Year everyone.
I'm glad your year has been overall wild HC. Hope that means in a good way?
Yeah I got a new contract for my job after applying for my own position for the third time in seven years. All good.
Had two weeks in India, trip of a lifetime.
And my energy company refunded me £127 last week! Wow!

Quo Vadis ..2019
by zeb inwell friends what is before us in the coming year?.
i often end my postings with 'live long and prosper in wisdom and health.
' this live long quote is taken from star-trek and it was the late wonderful leonard nimoy who suggested it from his orthodox jewish background.

Live long and prosper Zeb. Can you do the hand thing? I can but some can't, might be something genetic so I've heard.

I had books by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross recommended to me, particularly On Death and Dying, although she has written many others concerning coping with grief. She is a Swiss-American psychiatrist who doesn't believe we ever get over losing a loved one but we learn to live with the loss.
We have lost many loved ones in my family, my daughter had attended 15 funerals by the time she was twenty, including her father. I agree with you, grief is a long, hard process that nothing in the JW religion prepares you for. All I can say is the pain gets less awful as the years go by and you learn to carry on without them.
The way I coped was walking in beautiful countryside, listening to music, confiding in friends and planning trips. You need to plan things to continue living, something for you to look forward to. I feel for you, take care.

Don't give them 2019
by snare&racket ini am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.
it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.
those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.

Franz memoirs 'A crisis of conscience'.... hands shaking as I began to read, I realised I had been manipulated. I had been brainwashed! Here I was with a book in my hands, having a physical reaction due to fear. Why was i so scared to read something negative about Watchtower???...because i personally 100% wanted to read it! Why would a man fear a book? What had they done to me?
Well said. Why be afraid of any book? I remember the fear I felt when I read this book. To me this is the true mark of a cult that people are made to feel terrified of ideas that contradict it.
