Is it worth it to sue the Society?
by Pathofthorns ina few weeks back i helped my brother move out of a shared apartment to a rented room in a rooming house.
there's no question that the years of having been a jw took their emotional, physical and mental toll on him and now as a former witness, life is not easy for him.. he understood when i refused to help him move the boxes and boxes of wt literature, the "apostate" cassettes/vhs tapes and other literature.
i asked him why he had to keep these things that had hurt him so much and he replied that "it was for the lawsuits".. i wondered in the back of my mind how many others obsessed over suing the wt society.

Sometimes, it just ain't any fun...
by safe4kids ini took my kids on a vacation to disney world...their dream vacation, actually, although it didn't turn out that way.
midway through we get a call that their grandmother (the real one, who was never a dub and who hasn't ever turned her back on the kids or on me even thru my divorce from her son, unlike my own jw mother) is in serious condition at the hospital.
we spent one of our 'vacation' days sitting in a hospital icu waiting room, timing our 15 minute visits so that we could see her, and throughout it all the kids were troopers.

Goodbye Hair.
by CoolBreeze ini haven't posted in a long time, but i did say i'd pop in every once in a while if i had something of significance to say.
well i thought this was significant enough to share.. a few weeks ago in a moment of altruism i had my hair tested for the "locks of love" program, which is a hair donation program for chemotherapy patients who have lost their hair.
today i received a letter stating that my hair meets all the requirements for donation.

Would you be willing to admit it if you've been a hypocrite?
by onacruse infor the last 20 years of my association with the jws, i was, more or less, a hypocrite.
they taught things i didn't believe, but i went to the meetings and, by my presence there and by my "non-answers" i in essence supported something that i didn't believe.. it's a hard thing to say "i was a hypocrite.".
i was.. craig

Portland/Vancouver Fest! Pics soon to follow :)
by onacruse inwell, we had a grand old time yesterday dakota red kindly offered his home for our mini-fest, and what started off as a little party for searcher (our uk guest of honor) became somewhat more than that .
in alphabetical order, our group included: bikerchic, blueyes, bruce and dorian baker, buster and wifey, carmel, dakota red, goshawk, lost diamond, onacruse, princess and steve (and steve's mom and a family friend), searcher, seven006, songmistress, and veniceit.. carmel brought some delicious salmon for the barbie, and we even got searcher to have a taste.
we overlooked the fact that brits prefer to eat fish in the form of fish and chips searcher and songmistress--when we brought out the cake, everything was fine until somebody started to sing happy birthday...the words just sorta stuck in our throats, and we looked around at each other like a bunch of dubbies lolololol.

COOKBOOK First Draft is off to a publisher
by Lady Lee ini just sent the first draft of the cookbook to an e-publisher to see if they will accept it.. late submissions will still be accepted and can still be added to the book before turning it into a pdf file.. but the first draft gives them an opportunity to take a look at it and see if it meets their standards.
and it gives me a chance to make any improvements they might suggest.. so cross your fingers.
lol.
