Surname Change: your opinions please
by RAYZORBLADE inhey folks.. i have been debating for some time about changing my surname.. as it stands, it's in its typical patriarchial form (my father's surname) and honestly, i'd like to change it to my mother's surname.. i would not deny that my father was my father, but i cannot say that he, or his family have been ever there for me.
my memories of them, for the most part are awful.. my mother is no angel, nor is she perfect, but i do have some connection to that side, and my grandmother (maternal) is my number 1 support person in the family.
when i think back at family that were there for me during rough times, it was relatives on my mom's side.

Been There:
This is too MUCH!!!!
Does the Audrey McLeod from Freelton have parents John and Eva? Older sisters ... Pam and Elizabeth ... brother John, then Audrey, then Wilson, Cedric died (accident), and the youngest Skye. The father John named the youngest Skye as in 'skies the limit' in the number of children they would have.
I have completely lost touch with this family but knew them very well at one time ... if you find any of them would you PLEASE let me know how to get in touch with them?
Also, if you knew them you and I may know each other too ... very small world ...

How Sad
by Ariell ini have a distant cousin, 15 and in a wheel chair.
she's always saying how she can't wait until the new system comes when finally she'll be set free from her handicap and can run around with joyful glee.
it breaks my heart knowing this is never gonna happen and makes me even more angrier.

I read your post just now. I've never heard of this L'arche society before. How does it relate to me? I'm not complaining about your posting it, just don't know the relevance.

In a post on a previous page here you made reference to institutions etc. that are there to help the handicapped. Then you say "your tax dollars at work". Do you have a problem with MY tax dollars helping the truly 'needy' among us?

Of course You are right ... I have unresolved issues. Who hasn't?
I've pretty well laid out my past here but will review a bit.
I lived for years (eons?) in a happy, loving family and cong. In my teenage years (when I knew better than anyone) I became rebellious and left the group. I teetered on the fence for years but was df'ed for smoking.
Now, in looking back I realize what I've given up and want more than anything to get back 'in'. I quit smoking two years ago and when I was sure I was 'cured' I started going back to meetings. Wish I could say I was met with wide open arms but the expected happened and of course I feel like a piece of crap sitting there. The hardest part is the looking away when eye contact is made.
The experiences I've read about here don't bode well for me but I have to keep trying because I want what I had.
Life sure is not simple ... is it?

Danny:
I just had a long exchange typed to you and it disappeared when I went to send it.
Briefly now I will say that I am always reasonable in my replies. I use the same tone the person uses with me.
I do still believe all the doctrines of the JWs and reading so many posts here hasn't changed me. The paradise rug has not been pulled from beneath me. I see it as ascriptural promise and fully expect it to happen.
The one thing that baffles me here is the vast amount of past suffering at the hands of JWs. This is so foreign to me as our cong, was like our extended family. Anyway, I plan to keep reading lots of posts and trying my hardest not to ruffle too many feathers. If I do there are plenty of you here to set me straight.

Coffee:
Belive me ... I understand what you mean more than you may realize. I know one has to live in the present. I also know many elderly are facing the possibility of dying for the first time. I lived through all that too but with the clear understanding that the day and the hour are not known to anyone, not even Jesus. Therefore I've always lived in the here and now ... I guess that's also why I'm df'ed. Always been a bit of a free spirit and as I've said before I've paid big time.
My point is no one knows when THE day will occur, but I DO believe it will ... possibly in my life-time. If not, then there is the hope of the ressurection. The elderly know this too. To me that isn't false hope .. it is a sure expectation of things hoped for.
