Great Strides Have been Made!
by Sunspot insince i last posted here, some wonderful blessings have come my way!
my oldest son who i shunned in 1981 and who has since cut me out of his life....has finally "come around" and we are making some real headway towards being in each other's lives again.
he has restored an old 1933 ford jalopy and asked me if i wanted to go for a ride in it with him!

Gal With Inoperable Cancer
by Sunspot ini have been scouring through the older posts looking for info on that gal that had inoperable cancer and the last i saw....she had gone to florida and the space center, etc complete with pictures we saw posted on here.
i have forgotten her screen name and cannot seem to find anything on her, how she is doing---if she died---or what.. does anyone know who i am thinking about and what can you share on what has happened to her?.
(sorry, this is what i get for not keeping up with things here.).

What Craft Or Hobby Keeps YOU busy?
by Sunspot inas long as i can recall, i have always had at least three craft or needlework "projects" going at one time!
i have had a few "unproductive years" due to two strokes that affected my right side and the use of my fingers.
i tried a few things and then put them down in desperation.. recently i picked up a crochet hook again determined to figure out a way to get things working again.....and it is slow and very awkward but i can still crochet!.

On Armageddon....
by Sunspot insince leaving the wts i have come to appreciate that our lives need not be lived while centered around the "coming destruction" or that all our goals should be focused on this thinking 24/7.
when standing back and getting away from the stringent and narrow-minded views of the men of the wts.....and see what jesus actually said on this topic....we are in for a surprise.. when you read the bibles that show his words in red.....and take the time to go through and only read those....it is apparent that his focus was not directed on this "fearful coming destruction", but primarily on showing that he is the truth and the life, and that his followers are to be compassionate, kind and helpful in whatever ways they can.
we have only to look at the "two laws" and the "golden rule" he preached, to get an idea of what he lived and what he died to accomplish.

Recipe Question
by Sunspot inif i had any pride i would not even ask this question or show how stupid i am.....but here goes:.
i saw either on the martha stewart show or another i watched last week---where they took cookie dough and pushed it into and around a pie plate as a crust and baked it before putting the filling in.
i bought some pillsbury cookie dough, did what i had seen them do....and popped it into the oven for the amount of time it took for it to get browned.. the problem was----that the "giant cookie" rose up to look like an already full baked pie....and the center stayed moist and chewy---not like a "crust" at all.

The WTS And Our "Worldly Friends"
by Sunspot inon another thread, finally-free had made this comment:.
you reminded me of the friendships i had before i was a jw.
we could say just about anything to each other without worrying that someone would use it against us at some later date.

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.
