    There's this guy i've been corresponding with for a couple years. I was finally supposed to meet up with him @ the burning man fest this year. Our paths did'nt cross, though we tried to find each other. Just found out he died a few days ago...

    I love each and every one of you courageous, strong, beautiful people. Just had to get that out there.

    im sorry

    I corresponded with a jw for a long time, exchanging jokes mostly. for a few years. one day i got an email that he had died. his family wrote everyone on his email list and told us that he had been in a fatal car crash.

    i have kept alot of his mail in my email account so i have something to remind me of him

    so i do know what you mean. I dont get close to people online unless we can back it up with physical phone numbers and addresses so we dont lose touch.

    sorry again for your loss

    Amen.

    Sorry to hear about that, it's always rough to lose somebody, even if through the internet.

    Sorry about that, avi.

    A friend of mine from back in the day just died, 39, cancer.

    We really do have to appreciate one another in the moment.

    There's really no way to measure the value of having a group of people that share such a life defining experience as changing/losing your religion. Especially one that takes away so much and changes everything about you.

    I don't think there has been a single person I know or know of from the forum who has left us and not caused me to grieve for a few days at least. It is strange to me sometimes, and to people close to me, how I can care so much for people I never met.

    You had to be there, I guess.

    So sorry, Hon.

    Whose design was this, anyway? This fragile container with a mind that wants more... hrrrumph.

    (...oh, yes, and we love you too.)

    Love,
    Baba.
