    Wow. It just doesn't seem like 15 years have slipped by since I was tossed. I still think of my friendships and the people I knew in terms of the way I knew them then. But in reality, the babies I held are now dating, the teenagers I knew are now in their 30's with families and my old friends, like me are middle aged, some are grandparents.

    Its eerie to think of a previous life that now exists only in my mind. I have basically had 4 different lives with different sets of friends and experiences. I had my early childhood in Jesup Georgia in a tiny congregation where life was spent going out in service with the annointed couple that lived there, the Skwarlows. Then growing up in Valdosta Georgia. Then going through my 20's in Jacksonville. And now my present life out of the witnesses since the age of 30, living in Atlanta with my partner Mitch.

    Time; a remarkable thing.

    Hi JoelBear

    Congrats on the celebration of your "out of the WTBTS"..

    I think a celebration in order..

    Shotgun had a great post about the Hawaiin Lu'au..

    I don't know how to access his post by posting the thread like some do..., but just click his user name and ask to display his topic history..

    the Topic was.. Lu'au anyone....

    Seems like the best way to celebrate to me... A HAWIIAN LU'AU...The celebration of your birth into a free state of mind, .. A feast, with song and dance...

    Special K
