Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

JWs just not important in this world no matter what they/we want to believe
by restrangled infor most of us raised in the "truth" and i hate to use that term, we were brought up/and or taught to believe we were very important in this world.
the message being preached, god's chosen people, yadda yadda.. so as we leave this religion, the things we can point to as being news worthy, those breaking the law in the ranks, coverups etc....its really small potatoes in the world at large, although to this group it is huge.. i believe that part of the letting go of the witness mentality is recognizing that in the end its all just a small cult that captured your soul, or you were born in and had no choice.
it sucks bigtime, its larger than life for most of us, but in the bigger picture of life its a very small blip.. there is no question this religion has ruined/destroyed many lives, but to the world at large it isn't big enough to make a differnece to those not involved.. in reality, to use a horrible analolgy.....the jw's are just a pimple on the butt of the world.. .

Lies, lies, lies being fed to the to American public.... ie: Gulf Spill
by restrangled infirst off, you can look up the chemical now approved by the epa today: .
it is so deadly, you should not breathe it in, or let it get on your skin.
it causes burns, disrupts reproduction in all fish/shellfish, and possibly humans, and should never be consumed.

For all bird watchers: Does this remind you of your own fledglings?
by restrangled ini have 4 baby cardinals, now just as big as their parents.
they are capable of getting their own food, drinking from the bird bath etc.
they are always the first in the morning to the bird feeder, a little shakey but able to take care of themselves.

Tamoxifen...for breast cancer....if you are taking it or know someone who is!
by restrangled inthis was talked about in the senate today.....tamoxifen is not metabolized by all women.
due to the new gene research it has been discovered that a good portion of breast cancer patients do not metabolize the above mentioned drug.
in fact, it was stated, unless your doctor has done a blood test to see if you can metabolize it,....you might as well be eating m and m candies....virtually worthless.
