Small Fundraising Idea To Help The Board
by Celtic inart is known to be one of the most effective tools for people recovering from almost any kind of traumatic experience.. to raise funds for simons board and having some fun at the same time, why not, each of us produce an artistic creation whether a painting, a sculpture, a ceramic peice, whatever, and then auction the works off, first within our own community and then perhaps further afield if sales do not reach expectations, ummmm.
whichever items are sold, these monies could go towards alleviating simons costs incurred.. this is just one of potentially many simple fundraising ideas.
anyone reading this can surely contribute their own, so i am asking for a sharing out of this theme and to hear your positive sharing.. peace, more sunshine, to drumming, meditation, thinking some more and having fun.

smiliness & healing + other bumpth
by Celtic inif it wasn't so sad it'd be laughable.
here we are this community of ex jw's around the earth trying to make sense of an organisation which we were brought up in, but unknown to us at the time completely, was changing its light on so many different issues.
they the jw's perceive this as really cool - ahhh new light, smug smiles.
