  My wife and I recently summited Half Dome with some ex-JWs. It was a spectacular experience.

  Clarice would be smiling.

  The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  She chose her tribe a long time ago. It's nice for her that they are there now.

  Enjoy the time you have with her. The love bombing will likely subside after this is over.

  terry explains jazz (to those who hate jazz)_______________________________.

  there are too many reasons to cite.

  suffice to say, we all know annoying people.. we don't become a hermit because of a few annoying people.

  A former boss of mine used to say: "If you shake it more than three times, you're playing jazz music!" (Referring to a guy taking a leak.)
  

  I'm still not quite sure what that means.

  Great post Terry.
