Beer is my pain killer ...
by kwintestal injust got back from a ball hockey game with a bunch of friends from high school.
most of them i haven't really spent any time with in about 12 years.
two things i immediately noticed, i'm out of shape and it's easy to pick things up where you left off years earlier.

Book - Parenting Beyond Belief: On raising caring ethical children without
by kwintestal inbook - parenting beyond belief: on raising caring ethical children without religion.. i just wanted to point out this book to other jwdr's.
i just finished reading it last week and i thought it would be good to post on here, not only for atheist or secular parents, but also those in "religious limbo" for example those who have just left a religion and don't want to join another and don't necessarily know what or how to explain things to their kids.. it is comprised of a series of essays by various intellectuals and covers various subjects such as religious tolerance and education, encouraging your children to think and explore their thoughts, holidays and how to handle them, how to explain the "big questions" and ways to seek community.. personally, i think that the book kind of pushes universal unitarianism in several points throughout.
it's subtle pushing but it's there none-the-less, but other then that it's actually put together very well.

Kingdumb Halls...crying poor. Are they really?
by kwintestal infor the last 2 1/2 years of my jw experience, the kh was always saying how they had no money to pay the bills.
they started holding "dollar days" at the meetings to get donations (the idea was everyone brought a dollar a meeting on top of their normal donation).
finances reportedly got so bad that they had to decide to buy oil for the furnace, or plow the driveway one winter.
