Remembering
by Granny Linda ini spoke with my elderly aunt yesterday about much of what i've read over this past week...catching up on the best of series...well, some of it anyhow; and her comments echoed much of what many former jw's have already spoken of.. she reminded me how many years ago when her one grandchild needed a blood transfusion and her daughter had called in a panic...my aunt simply told her to do what she felt for best for the child - not the church.
or, the sometimes humerous stories of field service - the dreaded thought that someone might actually answer their door.
my aunt releated how her own father had once asked if she wanted to "pioneer" and when my aunt told him, "no" my grandfather had the most shocked look on his face.

Holidays and former JW's
by Granny Linda intwo threads in one sitting...i'd best get busy with housework or something.... i'm relaxing and enjoying conversation about the holidays when i had to remember this is a site for former jw's, or mostly anyhow.
last holiday season someone reminded me that not everyone has family to enjoy this time of year with, and it made me sad.
sorta like those bitter-sweet times that life sometimes gives us.

Life apart from JW's.
by Granny Linda innot sure where all this rambling i'm going to do will end up, but i'm sure there will be words reminding myself how grateful i am for recovery from religious abuse.
some may remember i orginally came aboard sites such as this doing research for a fence-riding jw sibling.
after years of no contact we were able to begin anew.

JW family
by Granny Linda init seems that after many years of no contact with my elderely jw mom, she and my older sister will be dropping by to see me here in colorado.
funny, the sister that doesn't speak to me lives a few short miles from where i just relocated to, and they plan a visit with her.
so, my eldest sis called to see if it would be ok to bring mother by.
