by Soledad inan elderly jw lady that i love dearly passed away this week.

Step One
by Peppermint injust registered today after many months of being a silent spectator, hope to tell you a bit about myself in the days/weeks to come, but not just yet.
one step at a time as they say.
i have been helped so much by what i have read here, at first i expected to find bitter and twisted rantings, not so, you all seem very normal.

A culture of conservationism?
by seattleniceguy ini'm currently going back to school to study biology and biomimicry.
i'm hoping to work to develop green technologies - better energy sources, better product packaging, better waste disposal, and so on.
i'm concerned for the earth, and i sometimes wish that everyone would suddenly start consuming less or more responsibly, but i realize that it simply will not happen overnight.

Newbie Ex's: You CAN Just Fade Away.
by Englishman inthis is on the watchtowers official media site at: http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htmdo you shun former members?those who become inactive in the congregation, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.
in fact, special effort is made to reach out to them and rekindle their spiritual interest.
if, however, someone unrepentantly practices serious sins, such as drunkeness, stealing or adultery, he will be disfellowshipped and such an individual is avoided by former fellow-worshipers.

To my Italian-American Friends.
by El Kabong ingot this from a relative and just wanted to share with everyone.
all italians have a $40,000 kitchen, but use the $179 stove from american appliance in the basement to cook.the living room couch was covered with plastic.strohmeman and wonder bread was for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches only.there is some sort of religious statue in the hallway, living room,front,porch and backyard.a portrait of the pope and frank sinatra in the dining room.god forbid if anyone ever attempted to eat chef boy-ar-dee, franco-american, ragu, prego or anything else in a jar or can (tomato paste is the exception).the following are italian holidays- first weekend in october- grapes for the wine, 3rd weekend in august- tomatoes for the gravy.
speaking of which, it's gravy and not sauce.meatballs are made with pork, veal and beef.
