Freedom is a wonderful gift, no matter when we accept it.
Your love for your family will continue to pay joyful dividends to you all, and I hope your son can soon feel the mud washing from his life too.

What are your thoughts on the Liquid Flouride Thorium Nuclear Reactor? I watched a TED talk about this technology.
Sounds intriguing - had prototypes in the fifty or sixties - scalable construction etc ... GfG

Hello brainmelt - and welcome to you and your family.
I remember, so many years ago, that same feeling of 'brain melt'. So much pain, but it lessens with each assurance and success.
I'm glad you came here - there is so much wise and compassionate friendship to help you all live joyful free lives.
And great timing too -with the young ones about to start school unfettered - the world is their oyster..
It will all take shape as fast the kids outgrow their old shoes - so keep us well posted.
so, a good friend of mine, a pentecostal christian, invited me to go to a retreat with her church.
we're the same age-19 years.
we were friends before i became a witness and she was always patient and caring with me especially throughout my arrogant spell as a witness.
Go... the world is full of wonders... so experience some already . 19, music, a good friend ? Go, and let the scaredy-cats here know what you learn.

A young Anglican minister conducted my Moms funeral service. She was shy and wasn't one of his regulars, so he had my sister tell him about her - her life and history, the family she raised, and her little antiques business she loved so much.....he wove together and delivered , the most gracious, dignified and utterly appropriate, funeral I had ever attended.
He understood, and took the time to make it apparent, that my Moms quite life of hard work, was a blessing to many people in many ways.
His wonderful delivery was truly a gift to a family in grief.
i am interested in the answers for a new poll.
also, feel free to suggest other options, wording etc.agreed in full with the watchtower guidelinesagreed with shunning in general, but not for familywas stumbled by this practice but shunned as instructeddid not agree with the practice and secretly associated with disfellowshipped people .
for me personally, i did not agree with the practice and secretly associated with disfellowshipped people, even whilst at bethel.
