  Blondie provides an invaluable service to the newly exited by showing them how to use their critical thinking skills. By learning how they were manipulated, readers of Blondie are no longer swayed by the winds of doctrine the WT spews out.

  For Unbelieving Mates (UBM's), we get an invaluable inside peek on what's going on in our partner's heads. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

  Besides, Blondie is an excellent person. She tells me that street people take her in to their confidence, and I believe it. In the few hours my JW hubby spent with her, he trusts her implicitly. Plain people know instinctively she will be kind and direct them to a safe haven.

  And then there's her photographic memory. Every article, every change in WT doctrine, is tucked away in there. Absolutely nothing escapes her notice. There's an image I will never forget, when she went toe-to-toe with my hubby, her diminutive finger wagging inches away from his nose. She had his full attention, no doubt about it. I imagine that same figure going toe-to-toe with the elders, and you just KNOW who came out on top.

  Thank you Blondie. From someone no longer "newly-exited" I can always count on being able to find what I need in your reviews. This week's was really timely, due to some recent conversations with my dad, and I'm glad I have the inside "scoop."

  I ignored the WT Studies by Blondie for the first couple of months I was on JWD. I think mainly because at the time I was so intently focused on the things that bothered me - the awful NWT, 607, 1914, etc.

  I started reading them after I became comfortable with the other stuff. Her studies just left me absolutely fuming by the end of WT Studies on Sunday. How could I have been so stupid ... heheheh.

  It taught me to identify and eliminate JW buzzwords from the articles. Once I did that, I saw that what they were really saying was a whole lot of NOTHING.

  Plus all the additional help and info and counsel she gave me as I started breaking stuff to FreedomLover always helped. Sometimes she just would send a PM out of the blue, saying "I was thinking of you and your wife ... hope all is well."

  Thanks Blondie!

  Yep Blondie deserves all the recognition being delivered and some more.

  Even if I were paid to do blondies job, I could never meet her standards or the amount of research she has collected.

  Thank You many many times Blondie.

  A few weeks ago I got my days mixed up (I'm no Blondie). I thought Blondie wasn't going to post her usual WT review.

  Did I go into a decline. I only came out of it when I saw the usual Comments You Will Not Hear at the ............ Phew it was close. I am used to my stupid mistakes, but for Blondie to miss a WT commentary would have totally ruined my whole week.

  Thanks Blondie, you're a real trooper.

  Now now. Let's not get Blondie all "puffed up with pride" or anything.

  But really, I have never followed along in my entire life during a WT study as much as I have since Blondie started doing her Comments. At the very least, her hard work deserves much more than just a quick lunch to the Olive Garden.
