You're welcome, NVR2L8, and, also, thanks to you and never a jw for commenting.
This link was sent to me by an ex-JW family member who suffered horribly from parental corporal punishment. The police and CPS finally got involved.
And, to think, for years we misinformed family members were told the child was rebellious and wanted no part of the Truth.

Our beloved child wanted out of the cult when an early teen.
Suicidal tendencies and fierce rebellion against "The Truth" woke us up, and we said we love you and don't want you to hurt yourself. No longer forced to be a JW (never baptized), our kid turned into the sweetest, most non-judgmental, and obedient youngster on the block. Never mind what the elders thought of Mom's and Dad's position on saving their child.
Thirty years later, our "youngster" is a good and generous person. We couldn't be prouder.

From link provided above:
Does anyone know if the area was cleaned up before construction started? I was working there on the concrete with a private contractor, and no one said a word to any of us about the contamination (the union or the people in charge of the project). It was a dusty job, and we would have breathed in quite a bit of it if it wasn't dealt with before the project began. any information would be great...
the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.
example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.
the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.
7 Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night."
Evidently, they got a head start . . .

the oaf and the one-legged man.
spatters of rain dribbled into unsettled silence.. the man with the prosthetic leg dropped the umbrella from his shoulder and shook it onto the sidewalk in front of the bookstore.
his scooter chair roosted nearby like a guide dog for a blind man.. steadying himself, he exchanged tattered raingear for his cane and wobbled uneasily toward the door handle.a tall man with a van dyke beard held the door open for him with a neighborly grin.. "you get caught in this downpour on that thing?

the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".
7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

Well done, Terry!
Our background in literature and language is similar, which makes reading your atmospheric and colorfully detailed writing so captivating. You truly do write what you know . . . works for me!
