Mouthy, I'm very happy for your rejoicing. I have two children and have had trouble with one of them (drugs) and when he finally beat them, I felt like he had come back from the dead. I feel your happiness in your letter and I hope that it continues for you.

Mouthy,
I really enjoyed your shared story....and thank you. It reminded me of similar things that happend/s to me.
After being out for 7-8 years now, it hasn't been until recently my dub sisters would allow me to come to visit or feel comfortable talking on the phone. Now they don't mind.
The dubs are trained to think apostates will be mean, or attack their faith, or just plain talk apostate stuff to them. Sometimes we do exactly that when we are adjusting and coming out of the borg.....I did a few times. Then we move on and realize we won't say anything negative or abrasive the next time.
My point is.....in time if we are cool, the dub family realizes we are harmless, we're not AFTER them, we love them, and that we have chosen another road. It's then they realise......your just another worldly relative.( for many it doesn't work out like this. ) The sad part is.....there not supposed to compromise and talk to us........the good part is......that they break those god-dishonoring rules.

Dear Mouthy:
I am so happy for you to hear from your daughter. Mom's always will love their kids regardless of the control of this silly religion. I am also sorry to hear of your loss of your other daughter. My heart goes out to you. I sure hope that she continues to at least check in on you from time to time.

Mouthy, I ALWAYS enjoy reading your posts. You always have a kind word to share with others, and that's something the world in general could use more of.
I'm sooooo happy for you having heard from your daughter. Those times really can make our day even when we understand the rest. I'm sure you will savor the moment. I quit looking for "the burning bush" years ago because it dawned on me that it's moment upon moment that creates the whole. And you dear lady are a whole person filled to the brim with unconditional love. No one can really ever forget that.
Love you,
Granny..btw; my only child, a son, and his family will be making their major move up here where we are. I'm so excited!!!

I am rubbish at putting feelings into words.......I feel both great happiness for you but great frustration too for your situation!
The things religion can do to a family!
Just had a tiff (fall out) with the wife.........she's an active JW's, she would not go with me to see my DA Mum. She's in fear that someone from our old cong will see us!
We have a good relationship, she's torn....... and as strong JW family.
I am happy for you and hope your daughter keeps up the contact.......I hear the Borg might be trying to soften up!

Hey Grace-
I'll answer your question- to keep your sentences from double spacing- when you are at the end of a short sentence and you want to go to the next- instead of hitting "enter" hit your "shift" key & then "enter" and it will take you to the next line instead of 2 lines down.

Mouthy, your sharing with us was so nice. See we can get smarter as we get older and your daughter is proof.
