A little Monday Morning fun
by caligirl ini just got back from the doctors, where i decided to entertain myself a bit.
the waiting room was not too crowded, and i spotted a few recent copies of the watchtower and awake on the magazine table.
so i broke out my pen, and left a message on the inside of each of the magazines.

It's an invasion....
by caligirl inof seldom worked territory!
we have been here more than a year, and this is only the 2nd time that anyone has ever rung the bell.
six weeks ago when they rang the bell, i engaged in a 15 minute conversation outlining the reasons i no longer go.

by caligirl ini received an email from diane wilson on an interview to be aired this week, and i wanted to pass the info along for anyone that might be interested in listening in!
david rutledge, producer of "the religion report" at abc radio national in sydney, australia, just confirmed that our interview on awakening of a jehovah's witness: escape from the watchtower society, will be aired june 4 at 8:30 am australia date/time on abc radio national (so it would be june 3 for us in the us).. .
also, he says there'll be a transcript of the program, along with a real audio link for online listening, available from wednesday evening (u.s. time) on their website at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/relrpt/ .

Can anyone help me find....
by caligirl inany concrete quote that says that it is the responsible thing to do to shun people who have left?
i am pretty sure it exists, but quite frankly i am emotionally exhausted, wrung out and on the verge of a total nervous breakdown and can't stand the thought of wading through the cd rom right now to find it because i just might snap all together.
so any help anyone with a strongre stomach that might be willing to assist in finding references would be a big help.

Looking for Newest CD rom
by caligirl inwe are set to have "the discussion" with my stepson next week as to why we do not attend meetings anymore.
he was going to bring his cd rom with him, but said tonight that he is not going to.
we don't know if that is because he is chickening out on the discussion ( i hope not, because i will have spent the last 4 weeks reading all this vomit for nothing) or if he doesn't want to make his mother suspicious by asking to take it with him( which i don't doubt that he would have to do, given the control factor that goes on there).

Where do you look?
by caligirl indo you primarily reply to threads from the active topics list when you log on, or do you take the time to check out the other sections as well?
just curious!
most of the time i tend to stick to the topics that are already on the active list, which i admit might be short changing perfectly good topics that havn't made it to the top pages.

Play Therapy
by caligirl inis anyone familiar with play therapy for children?
opinions?
it has been recommended to me for my 9 year old (anxiety/add related) and i have done some internet research and it seems like it could be very effective because it would allow me to be involved in all aspects, unlike traditional therapy where they treat the sessions as confidential ( yes, as a parent i am not allowed to be party to what is discussed with my child) .

Assembly Invite
by caligirl inmy sister and i were talking yesterday, and she shared with me a bit of a letter she received from a girl that she was friends with growing up.
my sister, like me, left more than 6 years ago and will never ever go back.
people have left me alone, but my sister gets lots of invitations to go back.

Help with stepchild
by caligirl inmy stepson lives with his "witness" mother.
he is early teens, and recently baptized (he tells us it is because other kids his age did it) he has heard my son talk about holidays and had no qualms accepting christmas gifts from my family last year.
i think he knows that we are fully "out", though the subject has never been discussed.

Link to an article Re: Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness
by caligirl inthis is a link i was just emailed to a story that ran this weekend on diane wilson's book.
i thought it might be of interest since the book has been the subject of a few threads this week.
thanks for reading!
