Remembering Jan Groenveld
by Sunspot ini was just reading the "12 steps" thread and decided to start a new thread to give those of us who "knew" her-the chance to say what they'd like to share with all our newbies.
when i was in the process of knowing what the wts was all about, and not quite ready to make the break or tell people what i had discovered---jan took me under her large wing and helped me so much.
i can't tell you how many things she sent for me to read and how many emails she wrote to me as i plodded and trudged through my realization and pain of what i had dedicated my life to serving.

Fall Fair: Or Pumpkin and Apple fare :o)
by Sunspot ina few miles from our home a fall fair is held every year.
it is held between an apple orchard and a pumpkin farm next to a christmas tree farm.they were having pumpkin tosses, face painting, hay wagon rides, horse and buggy rides, horseback rides, scarecrow building events, apple tasting, wine tasting, cider tasting and events for the little kids to take part in.. there were adorable alpacas that were so cute, and a place where sweaters, hats and scarves made from alpacas could be bought.
there were several goats, and a booth where goat cheese and other edible goodies made with goats milk could be had.

Destroying One's Faith
by Sunspot inthe jws are always grumbling that former jws are trying to "destroy their faith" and that they have nothing nice to say about the men who write for the watchtower or their peculiar teachings.. but then---jws go to people's homes and try to convince them that they should stop:.
praising jesus,.
celebrating or honoring their lord and savior on his resurrection or on his birth,.

My Sister's Visit
by Sunspot inmost of you know that my family disowned me in 1972 when i was baptized into the wts.
i have only one sibling, a kid sister .
i was thrilled, but nervous, not having a clue how things would go and trying to keep in mind all the things i should not say as well as things i was eager to find out about, concerning the rest of the family i have had no contact with.. the moment we laid eyes on each other (and recovered frm the gigundo hug), it all went just great!!!
