  Shauna,

  Thank you so much for sharing your story. I especially enjoyed hearing how your relationship with Jehovah has not fallen apart, but has actually grown. That has been my experience also. Before leaving, I prayed to Jehovah repeatedly: "Look, if I have to stay here to have a relationship with you, I will. But, if I'm in danger here, let me know and I will go." After ignoring my drug abuse problem for a year (after I had gone to them), my favorite elder ran up to me after a meeting and said, "Someone has reported seeing you smoking cigarettes IN PUBLIC and this is a VERY SERIOUS offense." Before my eyes, I saw Jehovah remove the elders and WTS from the pedestal I had placed them on. Jehovah tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go." Now I practice spirituality on a daily basis - free from the controlling WT cult and all other organized religion.

  I'm so proud of you and your husband!

  hey, i wanted to share my latest brilliant idea for pissing off dubs.

  i frequently see the mags in the usual public places: doctor's/dentist's office, supercuts, etc.

  i didn't want to throw them away 'cuz then the idiots would just leave more - and get to count them as placements.

  Hey, I wanted to share my latest brilliant idea for pissing off dubs. I frequently see the mags in the usual public places: doctor's/dentist's office, Supercuts, etc. I didn't want to throw them away 'cuz then the idiots would just leave more - and get to count them as placements. When I started seeing them on campus, it really pissed me off, so I started carrying a marker with me, and would write on the front of the mag:

  "BEWARE OF CULT PROPAGANDA!!"

  Well, after printing out some address labels ......You get it! I printed out a sheet of stickers with my warning on each and every one. (Okay, I'm blond, so I get excited about these things.) So, I keep a sheet in my purse and stick them on every mag I see. (3 so far, but I start classes on Monday.) Now the dubs will be HORRIFIED when they see their precious mags, and they'll HAVE to throw them away, plus will be PARANOID about leaving more and WORRIED about how many people have seen the stickers.

  methadone clinic next to Toys R Us

  by Princess in

  2. friends

  i was just reading an article in the seattle times about a new methadone clinic that will be set up lynnwood, washington.

  lynnwood is quite literally, across the street from me and most of my shopping/errands are done there.

  this is the first i have heard of it and i am surprised it hasn't been more newsworthy than an article in the wednesday edition of the seattle times.

  Every time you take your child with you out to a restaurant, they are more than likely surrounded by alcoholics, so what's the difference?

  2. friends

  i love to christmas shop, but i have to admit it i am one who kind of leaves things to the last month.

  but i love to decorate early.

  I started buying gifts last month and try to buy a few every week so I'll be done early in December. And I try to wrap as I go.

  Best part about wrapping: ending up with a funky-shaped piece of wrapping paper and finding a funky-shaped gift to wrap.

  Worst part about wrapping: losing either the tape, scissors, pen, or gift tags every 30 seconds.

  Guilty Pleasure: using the cutest gift bags for my family and the ugliest for my in-laws.

  Merry Christmas!

  Who is Todd?

  by nilfun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  todd was so cool.

  he'd lived in his mom's garage ever since the day he'd announced that he wasn't going to attend kingdom hall anymore.

  he worked at the taco bell on the corner of front street and el rey avenue and he was saving his pennies so he could move out his own.

  Beautiful story!

  I have a "Todd," an elder that I had a crush on for my 9 yrs. in the borg. I fell in love with him the first time I met him - great personality, great laugh, warm heart, sexy eyes. Right before my departure, we had a confrontation of sorts. I looked in his eyes as he lied to me and himself, choosing to spout elder bullshit instead of being honest. I could see that his conscience was really hurting him as his WT-trained mouth said it. It was the saddest moment of my "exit." I think about him all the time. I drove by a newly-built KH that's on my way to school (oh, pleasure) and saw his car in the parking lot. He continues to break my heart.

  In my US History class, we read an excellent analysis of the original Wizard of OZ. Turns out the story illustrates the Populist platform and its desire for a bimetallic standard.

  Dorothy - the innocent citizen

  Tin Man - eastern laborers, labor interests; the harder they work, the harder it is to work

  Scarecrow - midwestern farmers; often criticized for having a brain of straw

  Lion - William Jennings Bryan, Populist Party Candidate

  Wicked Witches - political interests of east and west coasts; the plight of the midwest was often overlooked

  Flying Monkeys - Native Americans

  Silver slippers on a gold road - Populists' belief that creating a bimetallic standard would enrich the midwest (with silver) enabling them to keep up (on the gold road).

  Symbolism in Literature is so cool!
