With Heavy Heart
by PSacramento insometimes we find a place and it feels like home, it is accepting and understanding.. then, sometimes, that place becomes cold and inhospitible.. when i first joined here i felt i have found a good place.. people like narkissos, leolaia and others impressed me with their knowledge of scripture and motivated me to learn more for myself.. others touched me with the stories of their pan and hurt, pain and hurt that i was feeling also.. i don't think i ever offended anyone with my views on christianity and if i have i sincerly apologise for that was not my intent.. but things change and sometimes home isn't home anymore.... this site had been invalable to me for my understanding what is wrong with the jw's relgion and the wt, it has strengthened my faith and belief.. here i found people of religon, faith and love.. here i found agnostics and athiest that challenged my views and made me question, they made me a believe via reason and not "blind faith".. for that, i thank all of you, especially the "jeff's" ( ak and alltime), i also say a special thanks to leavingthewt, many of his posts made me feel welcomed and made me think and be a better person.. chalam, bts, dd and so many others, i thank you from my heart for your kind words over these many months.. people like mary and sylvia and so many others filled my heart with love with their stories.. all the best to you my dear brothers and sisters.. .

Giving The Undertaker A Fright!
by snowbird inthis here is a true story, so please don't interrupt me until i'm finished telling it.. way back in the woods in the late of night, a woman died.
her bereaved husband walked 20 miles to get the undertaker.. he and the undertaker returned to the home to remove the body of his wife to the morturary.
too upset to assist with the removal of his wife's body, the husband remained outside in the hearse while neighbors helped the undertaker.. after placing the body in the back of the hearse, the undertaker went back into the house to do the necessary paperwork.
