Something I found useful
by outbackaussie inwhen i was mostly recovered from being a jw i found i was pretty angry and following from that, wanted to "save" my family that were still in.
i have a wonderful husband who is eminently logical and thoughtful, somewhat the opposite of me.
we used to have lengthy discussions about family and responsibility and suchlike.

Warm and fuzzy
by outbackaussie intoday i was blessed with the joy of having a person ring me to see how i was doing....purely because i hadn't been posting and they were worried about me.
kelpie, that was just the nicest thing and i spent the rest of the day feeling fantastic.
yep our very own kelps took the time to look up my listed number and give me a call :) it was great to talk to a net buddy and hear her voice (and it is a very sweet voice indeed) and i just wish i'd had more time to chat.

A year in the life of a JW
by outbackaussie inhaving posted my account of growing up as a jw and subsequent departure, i decided to go back and read my diary from 1988...my pioneer year, i turned 16 lol .
it has been quite a laugh and i thought it may amuse some here, or at the very least provide some light relief from the mundane realities of life for a time :) so here are the best bits of january 1988 for your reading pleasure.
(for the sake of privacy i will only use first names) .

Life, death and other musings
by outbackaussie ini have been absent from here for afew days.
on thursday my hubby got a phonecall from his dearest and best friend's partner that the tumour in his brain had agressively spread and it was looking like time is just about up.
we have known that this was coming for about 2 years since he was diagnosed with the cancer but even now it is a shock and very numbing to know you will lose a dear friend soon.

I "won" COC in ebay auction
by outbackaussie ini am pretty darn happy, i got the book for $13aud which is about $6.50 in usd, so i am looking forward to getting it and having a read.
i talked to my mum about it today and she is interested in having a look too.
(she is still in, but largely inactive) i know many here have read it, is it worth the look?
