Off to tell the family...
by Gypsy Sam inthe day i've been waiting for is here.
i'm flying home to see family and some old friends, most of whom are jw.

The JW cart/booth nonsense
by Gypsy Sam inhttp://www.christianpost.com/news/battle-of-beliefs-baptist-evangelist-nation-of-islam-muslim-and-jehovah-witnesses-vie-for-souls-at-new-yorks-subway-stations-112512/.
will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

First trip to Europe this summer...only 20 years later than I planned :)
by Gypsy Sam inso, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).
this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.
i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.

RBC
by Gypsy Sam init's hard to believe it was only a little over a year ago i received my first official rbc assignment.
i was so excited i posted about it on facebook, to many likes from my fellow jw friends.. fast forward to this year, learning ttatt and fading (last meeting was the memorial and special talk).. i've received my fourth email, in the past two months, asking for rbc help.. stifling urge to hit reply all, with a jwfacts and candace conti case web link.... isn't it amazing how much your life and worldview can change in 1 year?.

Held my first "worldly" party last night
by Gypsy Sam ini used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.
although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.
well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

Ronald Aronson book
by Gypsy Sam ini'm reading his book, "living without god" ~ new directions for atheists, agnostics, secularists, and the undecided.
it was written in 2008 and is a logical, thought provoking, smooth read.. i am a bit more than half finished and didn't see any other threads on this book.
i'm really enjoying it and would recommend it for anyone.. has anyone else read it?
