Hi TopDog!
Glad you found the site. It truly is addictive. I completely agree with you, being raised jw, I appreciate the morals. I know I could have gotten them elsewhere too, but I am so glad I have them. We must alway find the silver lining.
Also, my sympathies on the loss of your grandfather and mother at such a young age. What heartbreak for you. I hope you will be reunited with them one day. I know I miss my grandfather terribly, and I was married and had a child before he passed (cancer). I daydream that he is happy and reunited with his dear loved ones and his baby brother George who died in infancy. That his brother Kenny is there and his friend Gene. I like to think one day I'll meet my great-grandmother who my grandmother thinks was the sweetest person to ever walk the earth. If she's anything like grandma, I'll love her to pieces:-) I don't think the jw's have the only winning ticket to paradise. There are too many good people in this world.
Have a good day-aye!
