My Best Friends Still Love Me
by Piph ini had a talk with my best friend (who is still an active jw) the other day, and told her that i wasn't interested in remaining an active witness any more.
i knew she would accept my feelings, because she's a wonderful person and is actually very emotionally healthy, but was afraid because i didn't really know how tight a grip the mind control had on her, and didn't know if she would feel obligated to back off in our friendship any.
i was deeply afraid of that, because we're as close, if not closer than, sisters.. to my pleasant surprise, she not only totally accepted my feelings, but she already knew what i was going to say before i said it.

Hit Me With Some Snappy Comebacks Puleeeeeeeeze!!
by HadEnuf inokay...so i'm invited to a baby shower for my daughter-in-law which will most likely be attended by myriads upon myriads of jw's.
i won't go into the nasty details...but they've been married four years now and have another little daughter...their wedding was boycotted by most jw's because she was not baptized yet (but grew up a jw)...and my son was.
so every since the wedding fiasco...they have been pretty much shunned by the jw's...and attend meetings infrequently.

Move Over Sharon Osbourne!
by HadEnuf inas the proverbial "stage mom"...i would just like to announce to the general population here that my two boys & two of their friends had a song from their first cd played on a local (very popular) radio station the other night!
since i consider you all my friends and support network...i decided to do a little bragging.
they had a nice story written about them in our local paper last week, along with a picture of the four of them back stage at luther's blues in madison, wi.

Playing The Hand You Are Dealt
by jst2laws inmy wife and i were df'd about six months ago as apostates after our combined 88 years in the organization (i love borrowing wt methods of making figures impressive).
if it were not for the wt perhaps i would have gone to college as i had planned instead of to bethel for six years.
perhaps i would have started my business a decade earlier in life rather than spend ten years in the 'fulltime preaching work'.
