    I can relate to alot of your feelings.

    My man always teases me about being a `hippie` , too!

    Welcome and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on things!

    It's kind of funny Palm, when I first registered, I just made up my name sort of free-association, pulled out of the air, totally random, whatever hit me. But now I think it suits me. Must have been my subconsious trying to tell me somethin'...

    Applehippie, so glad you joined us.

    "I am very Earthbound. I "trained" for a productive life here. I'm a herb gardener, love animals and have raised rabbits, goats and chickens. I sew, spin and knit. I renovate old houses. Heaven- not so much. "

    I'm with you on this one ... so difficult to imagine floating to heaven. Love the smell of the damp dirt in early spring, turning over the first shovelful..now that is heaven!

    Take some time out Applehippie: Read Proverbs 31:10-31 to yourself in the mirror... I am sure you will feel a warm glow. Your husband could not wish for better.

    Welcome, and thank you for the start of your story.

    Bienvenidos Applehippie:

    'that Watchtower was October 15, 2006. Really quite irritated me.'........I too am curious. Can you be more specific as to what article? I just tried looking it up & couldn't find it.

    Applehippie: Just answered my own question. I was looking in the wrong year. Looks like there are two articles on weddings. Will read them tomorrow. Later!

    Welcome! I had someone say I was the most liberal JW they had ever met, too. Unfortunately, it was a client who said it to the "sister" who runs the spa I work at. Oh well. We all have to come out of the closet eventually. I don't remember, did you say if your parents were still alive?
