  today is my daughter's 11th birthday and she is super excited.

  and today i baked her a boston blackout cake just as i did last year.

  the smell of it baking reminded me that this was when we made our first stand for our children and was a significant step as we exited.

  i must confess, regretsy is my "guilty pleasure".

  it's a website that picks the most oddball items on etsy and makes fun of them.

  for those not aquainted, etsy is a website for selling handmade items.

  Wow- love the part about how school would rob him of "time and energy", so he gets more involved in the congo. Hahahaha!

  Hmm, go to school to get a good job or work hard for free at the Hall? Who writes this shit?

  When I was in high school, a school friend of mine was killed in a car accident. One of the girls my age was saying, "Why does [Jadeen] care?" and "Well, he's not going to be in the New System."

  Such sympathy and compassion

  Haha mrsjones!

  Tim, I don't think a thumb ring will make you "look gay". My husband has several that he likes to wear.

  But it might make you look like you're trying to be (gasp) an individual!

  A Better Attitude And World View

  i've changed a lot in the last year or so.

  maybe some for the good,and some not so good.

  but,looking back, i didn't like myself as a witness.. it turns me off when i hear about the judgmental comments an older pioneer sister made.

  I also feel that my personality and attitude have changed for the better since leaving. I feel more compassionate and have empathy for others. Now, I'll get teary over sad stories that I hear on the radio or read about. It sometimes feels like my emotions were stunted while I was growing up as a JW, and now they're catching up!

  I talked on Facebook earlier with a friend of mine in Okinawa- she said that they hadn't had anything there.

  Hopefully Possible-san is in a safer area!
