  i myself was raised in the "truth" til i was df'd at the age of 21. i have often wondered that if i were allowed to grow up just as every other child did in the u.s. would i have been interested in looking at the organization and taking interest?

  do any of you think and wonder the same thing?

  while reading minimuses post under "friends" about a sister who kept up auxillary pioneering even though her 5 year old daughter died, it brought to mind a similar story that happened just 2 months ago in a large cong.

  an elder serving in that cong.

  for many years now, lost his wife to heart complications.

  Here is an interesting story:

  In 1991 while I was an active witness there was a wedding, where the bride was the only JW in her family. The same week she got married, her aunt died (father's sister). He decided to go attend to the funeral matters rather than attend his daughter's wedding--they were pretty distanced from each other anyway, especially since the daughter became a JW. I was shocked at the way the witnesses were talking about the bride's father--"he should have been here, the aunt is dead there is nothing he could do, etc." Like he would really enjoy a JW wedding?? Im pretty sure he wouldn't have even been allowed to walk his daughter down the isle.

  Nope. not changing my plans. I live and work in downtown NYC. I ride the subway and the buses. I walk past ground zero almost everyday. I just live my life. I refuse to let the terrorists control my life. If and when something happens and its my time to go, I'll go in peace.
