recently, i had to help my mom move from ny...she has just retired and has been a witness for over 30 years.

i wouldn't call her devout in that she never misses field service or that she would walk through horrible weather to get to a meeting but she is devout in a sense that she will believe whatever the wts puts before her.... anyway, my two older brothers who are also "in the truth" were helping go through what stuff we were going to move when we came to her literature stash.

my mom is an extreme packrat and we had been throwing so many items that she had bought over the years without even opening the boxes (the items got old & musty so they were unusable to others .

it is snowing in atlanta, georgia!

i grew up in new york (a few miles from wallkill) and snow is actually something i miss....i used to love sitting back inside a warm house and watching everything turn white.

well, now it is really coming down here; i thought it was just a flurry because of the huge flakes but it has been going on for an hour now.

Ever Seen The Movie 'Blast From The Past'?

you know, the one where brandon fraser grows up in a bomb shelter and finally comes out after so many years to a world totally new to him (like some modern day rip van winkle)?

that is how i feel right now except i simply got out of a religion.... i am not totally clueless; i fortunately was allowed to do most of the normal things that kids do while growing up (play videogames, watch all the tv shows i wanted [including smurfs] & listen to the music i liked) so i am not a total square.

however, i am 24 next month and yet i am out of 'friends' & relatives to hang out with (they ditched when i da'ed) and i have only made two true friends outside of meetings/school/work in my whole life.

if you thought growing up as a witness was bad,

at least you didn't put up with self-righteous cartoon characters.

i particularly like how they portray eastern religions with that elephant named hadu?in case this has been posted before, my bad....
