Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible."

I think she'll have a lot better things to do with her time and I don't want her to feel obliged to read our blog when it's not that interesting.
Don't try to read more into my posts than just a mother's love for her child in transition, as I did for my other children. I only asked for feedback, as I never get feedback from anyone but Kim (on my blogs), so without it, I still wouldn't know if I should send it or not.
