Radical Apostasy v Liberal Apostasy
by diamondblue1974 inin the wake of the 'dannygate' issue it made me think about the impact of apostasy and it various forms and on some level how it equates to the feminist movement and its development over the years.. initially, the radical feminist movement were and are the typical man hating, bra burning cross section who undoubtedly moved womens rights foward significantly and to some degree still do.
without the radical feminist movement, the likelihood of the liberal and more balanced feminist movements ever existing would have been uncertain if not improbable.
so indirectly the feminist movement owes a lot to those radicals who were out there burning bra's and linching men (i was joking about the last bit).

The Waning Year - Preparing for Samhuin (Halloween)
by diamondblue1974 inas the year slows down towards winter we enter a time reflection and preparation for the coming year, it is, for many pagans (as well as christians) a time for rememberance of those passed over, loved ones who are with us no more.
this fits in well with the belief of many that at this time of year the veil between the spirit world and the physical is at its thinnest and our ancesters/loved ones are closer to us.. for those loved and missed, who would you choose to remember at this time of year and why?.

The story so far...cause for reflection and introspection
by diamondblue1974 inafter 12 months i am now at the pinnacle of some considerable change in my life, a time of consolidation and reflection; i thought i would share my journey.
when someone joins jwd they often post a biography to highlight how they come to be where they are at and what stage they are at in their recovery from spiritual abuse; i did and my biography spanned my childhood and into early adulthood.
some of it was hard to write, and caused some bitterness to raise its head again, luckily it was shortlived and i hope that my experiences in one way or another have helped others.

Appreciating true spiritual freedom - a word to our newbies!
by diamondblue1974 ini remember my feelings of bewilderment when i first read through threads on jwd back in february 2005; by then i had been an exjw for over a decade.
i must have been at my pc for two days solid while i just read and read.
it was impossible to take everything in, but i couldnt stop reading and couldnt stop taking in all the information this site contained.. i remember the initial fear i felt too, like reading about other's experiences was an act of rebellion or evil.

Your favourite place....
by diamondblue1974 indo you have a favourite place in the world...if so where is it, why and do you have photos?.
mine has to be nisyros (a very small greek island near kos); i last visited there some years ago and ever since i was captivated by its beauty and tranquility.
in short its a volcanic island but unspoiled by tourism; the people are amazing and so down to earth.. take a look.
