Sorry for you that your mom didn't even open the letter,
I think the postcard idea is great.

Letter to mom
by dawg insent a letter to mom 4 days ago, came back today stamped "returned" on it... she wouldn't even open it... it had some nice comments in it too.
stupid blanking cult, blinds the eyes of folks so they won't even read what we have to say.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

I ripped up all my diaries when i left the dubs - i really regret it now. i had documented all the elders meetings and what they weren't doing about my abuse and how i felt. at the time it was very cleansing to rip it all up and bin it and say that was my life now it isn't. i want them back!

607 to 1914 calculation question
by bluebell inis there any culture that actually used years of 360 days length?
if so, surely there would still be some kind of leap year to correct the calendar, why is that not taken into account?
i'd never thought about it when i was a dub because you're not supposed to think!

surely a solar year is the time it takes for the earth to go round the sun? ie 365.25 years? Whats a lunar year? Are you saying that the 360 days is correct?

I thought it was very good - it wasn't what I had expected. I had expected it to be very bitter but it was quite dispassionate which made it so much easier to read. I would have been 4yr old in 1980 and so cannot remember any rumblings at all. And of course it was never discussed, so jwd and especially newboys stories of bethal then were the first i ever knew of it.
I thought the historical perspective was very good too - how it all got started and where some of the beliefs come from, also the different ways the presidents affected the org and then how the GB got more influence. I never ever gave a thought to it when I was in and was very much under the impression that the GB were very involved in the production of and read all the literature. I certainly thought everyone writing would be annointed.
It really highlighted the lack of love too. How no-one approached the individuals concerned but went on an inquisistion type apostate/witch hunt, threatening ones with d/f if they didn't cooperate.

How did you feel when first posting on JWD?
by R.F. ini was in heavy doubt about the organization, but still in the back of my mind i was a bit hesitant of posting because it was the "unforgivable sin".
i think it took me 20 minutes to type my first post.
i still felt that once i submitted my post that a bolt of lightning was going to come down upon me, so my hands were shaking as i was typing.

I felt like I was an apostate and that someone was going to find out who I was and come and get me!

by Shawn10538 init's been a nine year battle, but i'm finally graduating from college with a bachelor's degree and a certificate.
it's important to me that this community knows that.
