AAWA ... It's not too late to change the name.... any suggestions?

by Calebs Airplane in

first, i'd like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to cedars, barbara and the rest of the staff who put this together... it's something we all hope will have great success in exposing the watchtower's continuous deception and manipulation.. however, i don't think it's too late to change the name to something less militant or less confrontational.... my humble suggestion is ... pafjw (pacifist association of former jehovah witnesses).

I just finished The Silmarillion. Any suggestions on next Tolkien to read?

by sd-7 in

i've read 'the hobbit', 'the lord of the rings' (including the appendices, well, except the shire calendar and elvish language), and 'the silmarillion'.

i was really impressed with 'silmarillion'.

almost seems like it could be a movie in itself.

I read The Silmarillion years ago or at least tried to. It's pretty deep and kinda dry, much of it was over my head at the time. I've read The Hobbit and LOTR a few times and think its getting lose for another go through. I recently picked up a book at a thrift shop called The Shaping of Middle-Earth edited by Tolkien's son Christopher. Haven't read it yet but it looks interesting.

Are you Proud ?

when we were jw's pride was usually cast in a bad light, linked with being "haughty" and coming before a "fall" etc.. but taking pride in certain things is actually a very good thing, i am proud of my children, they have grown in to fine adults who everybody talks well of, they had the sense never to be baptised jw's, i am proud of that too.. i am proud of my achieving a full education since leaving, i haven't done a degree course due to lack of funds etc, but i am now very well read.. i am proud that i am now a better human, kinder, more empathetic, less judgemental, contributing to the community, voting, donating blood etc etc.

i am proud to be associated with jwn and with aawa, i am proud to know you all !.

what are you proud of ?
