Gripping novel.. I know it will do well. I am so sorry that you had to go through some terrible things in your JW life and I know it will never go away.....I wish I could write a book myself.. get it all out. My children were abducted by their JW father and assisted by Witnessess in any part of the country. I lost complete touch with them for six months and they were only four and nine. My heart was totally ripped out of me. I can forgive but I can never, ever forget... I truly hope you will get some relief from your suffering with this writing. Take care, Terry.. you are loved by many.

How hot is the job market in Alberta? Let me give you a hint...
by jgnat ina business owner frustrated with bad workers placed a brutally honest help-wanted ad in an edmonton-area newspaper this week.. "if you can come to work on time, not steal from us, not show up drunk, then come in and see us today," reads the ad written by charmaine rose, owner of high-end lingerie stores la belle femme in edmonton and sherwood park.. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2007/11/29/newspaper-ad.html.

I heard that Alberta lowered the age for hiring to 12 and that some of the Tim Horton's had 12 year olds standing on stepstools ringing in the coffee! Here on the east coast we have lost a lot of our young people to life in the West...big money for them. I understand the standard of living is very high though so I guess you have to think long and hard about what you want. Housing prices here are going up but are still very reasonable. We are min wage of 7.50 I think. Apartments are anywhere from 400-1000 a month. Homes are still in the 100,000-300.000 range for a decent place..

what a great question! " I have come a long way, baby".. I have been through many stages of the "leaving. Fear, denial, anger, sadness, relief, and happiness. I am so thankful that I am out.. I feel like a survivor. It will take many years, maybe never to fully recover but the journey is so much more pleasant now. I love not having the guilt...of never doing enough, being enough, always trying over and over to prove myself a good enough person. The things that I did back then.. I try not to go there! As far as my spirituality goes, I am searching, searching. always.. terrified to step in the water in case I get sucked in again. There is a piece of me missing someplace. I truly believe in God and Jesus Christ and I pray that I will find my way back to them. Time is the only healer... and I am healing. I am grateful to this board and all of you here. Although I don't post often, I read almost every day and I feel it was by being with you all here and hearing your stories that I have accepted that I too can become exactly who I am and be proud of it.. I have wonderful family and the support of my best friend and I am blessed to have found my way out..
