    So sorry for your loss Brother Mike,

    It really hurts to lose loved ones. Please hang around and try to learn from those of us who have been through it all and just try to ignore the ignorance of some. If some comments offend you, just let them pass over you like water. I learned that the hard way in my 9 year on this forum. Sometimes I would get nasty with a few posters but I have learned to like some of them in the meantime. We are all on a journey.

    Take care,

    HappyDad

    Good to hear from you again Bro Mike. Sorry to hear about your fathers' passing. Tell us a little bit about him, without revealing too much. How old was he? Was he also a JW? What did he do for a living, etc?

    Sorry to hear about your Dad Mike. It's a bumpy ride you're starting out on but you'll share it with friends - and the occasional idiot.

    Hi Mike, great to have you back! You can find refreshment for your soul here. And some answers. Not all of them, but some.

    Because the WT treat people like idiots, it stands to reason there will be some here. We do all love you however! Keep asking, keep searching, life is just beginning.

    My deepest sympathy on the loss of your father Brother Mike. You are going through two of the hardest things people ever have to face. The loss of someone very close and the loss of your faith. Be gentle with yourself at this time and we are all here to help you.

    Love to you

    I am so sorry for the pain you are suffering Bro Mike. Death of your father is so difficult and then to have your faith shaken is like having the rug pulled out from underneath you. Please keep reading, keep questioning, keep in touch here so we can help as much as possible. You, my friend, are not alone.
