The Texas gang (Jade, Roo, & Megadude) are home and safe after 14 hours of driving. It was worth every minute though.
What can I say except that I met some of the nicest people in my life. I feel like I have 25 new close friends so here are just a few of my memories:
Joy and Steve, you and your family are such gracious hosts and I just want to say thanks for welcoming us into your home. And what a beautiful home it was. Joy has a smile that would melt anyone's heart. I feel like I've known her for years. Steve is so sweet and has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen.. And you should see the kids, what a beautiful family.
I had a blast kayaking with safe4kids. We were so busy yacking away like old friends even though we just met that we didn't realize that we had drifted way down the beach. Wish we lived closer. I had fun building sand castles with your kids too. They are wonderful.
***Watching all the adults ride the clown bike*** I think Dorian had it down the best.
***Talking to everyone there for hours like we were old friends
The last night we were there, Venice, Roo, Dantheman, and I went to eat and then to the karaoke bar. And let me tell you Aztec, he sings too!!!!!
Well, it's late and time for bed. Thanks everyone for a great weekend!!!!

Has anyone seen Dog Soldiers yet?
by searchfothetruth in.
we went to see dog soldiers at the cinema last year and i've just bought the dvd.. an absolutely brilliant film.
it's about a group of british squaddies on exercise in the highlands of scotland that get attacked by werewolves.. great humour throughout, lots of blood and guts and a good storyline.. take a look at the website: www.dogsoldiers.co.uk.

My Story
by Jennie in(note from mom -- cruzanheart -- our jennie, who is 9 years old, wanted very badly to join the forum, so we agreed that she could as long as she posts and reads while sitting on one of our laps, for censorship purposes!
she wrote the following essay over the weekend after we had a talk with her about the circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death.
she's letting me type it, but the spelling and punctuation is hers.).

I am soooo sorry you lost your grandpa. My husband and I lost my grandpa-in-law about a year ago after soley taking care of him for two years and so I know how painful that can be. We loved him very much. It really stinks to lose someone that you care about so much. Over time you will feel alot of different things so don't be suprised if you are sad one day and angry the next day and then happy again. It takes time to get over those feelings.
Keep talking to your parents!!!!!! Tell them how you feel, especially when you are sad. Try to remember the good things about him and the fun you had when he was here. Take care and give your mom and dad a hug from me.

I NEED you all's opinion!!! Please read................................

I think going to the gravesite would give you some closure and thats a good thing. It's private and you can say your goodbyes. As far as going to the current funeral service I would think twice about what you will face. Like Big Tex said, you probably will not be welcome and you WILL be shunned. If you can handle that, then more power to you. I for one, don't put myself in those situations because it hurts my feelings to be treated that way and I refuse to let them do that to me.
Take care

Have you ever run a marathon? Would you?
by Princess init's official.
i just registered for the suzuki rock and roll marathon in san diego on june 1.
26.2 miles of torture.

Princess,
That is so cool. My husband runs and a couple of years of ago he ran two marathons within 4 weeks of each other. I only ran the 10k. If anyone here enjoys running, but can't handle the pain of a marathon like myself, it's still fun to support the runners. I've worked at the water stations and the fruit stations and cheered them on.
The worst thing that he had happen was on the second marathon he ran, he ended up with stress fractures at about mile 20. He still finished but he paid for it dearly.
Good luck to you!!!!!!

Proof that JW teachings are fading from my youngest son
by LyinEyes ini just thought this might be of interest to some of the parents here on the board who have left the borg,when their children also were raised in it......my youngest son, is the spiritual one of my 3 kids, i mean he wants to know what jesus was like as a boy, if he was a boy in heaven, why did god put satan down here with us, etc.
etc.. as many of you know, our whole family left the borg, a little over a year ago.
my oldest son was glad and still deals with his own spirituality, he is your typical teen, interesting in other things not spiritual.

Dede,
My son was five when I left the borg. It has been a slow eight-year process trying to undo what I did for the first five years of his life. I feel so terrible about that. The first time I started introducing him to holidays, he cried because he thought it was wrong. But time has healed alot of that. He now sees that there are other paths besides the JW's and the biggest impact has been making sure he has lots of friends outside of the borg. Hope all goes well for you and your family.
