Good story, Julia.Thank you for taking the time to write it and share it with us. Sometimes we are the choir being preached to, here, but sometimes it is so nice to know someone "gets" us. Thank you. -

It can be a real challenge to put the realities of Watchtowerdom into words. You've done a brilliant job. -

Hi Julia
You have a gift with words and I noticed on another thread from some time ago, that you have a gift with painting as well.

Bravo Julia -
Takes me right back to my days as an elder with a tyrant on the body.
You have accurately captured the damage these self-righteous egomaniacs exact upon any they set their sights upon.
Makes me sick to contemplate - but thanks for the memories anyway.

Does anyone know how Julia Orwell is doing?
Someone mentioned a week or so ago about some GB member's wife wearing a lot of jewelry.
It reminded me of Julia's story of the opal.
I enjoyed reading it and for any new ones, I hope you will enjoy Julia's writing also.
