Hey woman, did you have a nice vacation? Have you remembered everything I taught you? I hope so, I charge for it now.

How's your son doing?

I figured you'd show up again someday.

Big hug and welcome back.

Dave

Hi Flower, I am fairly new here so from a new person to someone that is not new but reintroducing yourself, nice to have you around and I look forward to getting to know you on the board. Sorry about the pain you deal with regarding a loss of family. So many of us understand about that one. Fortunately we can all support one another here.

Flower,

He's a real cute little guy. Good to see you back. If you stick around a while I'm sure you are going to help some people here. You always had a good head on your shoulders.

Take care,

Dave

Flower,

I must say.....I was happy to see you return and had wondered what happened to you. It's very hard to keep track of people here anymore as there are so many new ones.

All of the answers are gone and its wierd as heck but its reality and I kinda like not knowing everything.

Boy can I relate to those words.......except the last part. I wish I had at least "a few" of those questions answered. I thought I had the answers from the bible when I left dubdom......only to find I had been snookered again.........damn! I hope life goes on in a better place somehow..........but I really have no reason to believe this yet.

Nice to have you back,

Gumby

Iv told you before, for $100 an hour I would give you all the answers. Now quit being a butt pimple and pay up. I don't offer this to just anybody ya know.

Sns, Thanks I think hes handsome too but I may be a little partial . Nice to make your aquaintance...looking forward to more conversations..

Jwelder, thanks. To be honest, when I left I was like 'good riddance' to my family. I couldnt stand them half the time anyway and I thought I'm better off without them. Its taken two years but GEEZ..I miss having a family regardless how dysfunctional. I suspect it will get easier once they are replaced but I still cant believe I may never see my sisters again in person. Its one thing to be shunned and ignored. My father will just act as if I am invisible if I am in their house and that is fine with me if he wants to do that but my two older sisters refuse to even be present in the same building if I am going to be there. I guess they feel its too hard to be there and not say anything so they choose to never see me again if I dont go back. That is so sad cause we grew up together and hung out together and I really looked up to them. Makes me want to bash something in.

Gumby, thanks..its good to see some familiar faces here also. just think how boring life would be if we had all the answers. Remember when we had all the answers? Life wasnt really all that great. We werent really all that happy..it was just a cover. I dont think life would necessarily be better if there were PROOF of Gods existance, proof of what happens after death, proof and solid answers to lifes most perplexing questions. I understand where you are coming from though...but I dont look for answers anymore..at least for now. The search is just too exhausting.

Why thank you Dave I'll take that compliment!

HI Flower!!! We miss you too!

I loved reading your little summary of the past 2 years. Our journey out of the cult has been going at a similar pace. I was touched also by your words about your family.

I also hate the WTS for taking my family. On a postive note, I have become a lot closer to my brother who wasn't in the borg, and my wife has come a long way in the past year and a half since she left too. My stepson is doing great in adjusting - he said the other day that it was hard for him to even remember the lifestyle and routine we had as JW's. And little badwillie just turned 3 last month and is getting ready to go out as "the red power ranger" for halloween- oh boy! So things are good for us.

We all need to have a reunion soon... we miss you and Jaden too. Let's get Funch in on it too. A little Fall Phillyphest?

- BW.

Dave,

Can I pay you fifty now and fifty later?

After you get my first fifty, I expect at least to find out if there's life after death...........if your answer suffices.....I'll send you the other fifty to find out if a god exists. Is a deal?.... Btw.....where has your lazy ass been lately?

Flower,

Your point is well taken about how we once thought we had the answers.......and we weren't any more content than we are now. I really have to wonder how much a witness REALLY believes 'a paradise is around the corner'. Perhaps it wouldn't make life any easier to know all the answers, but it would be nice to have a shot at it.
