Most of my hobbies are fiber-related. I knit a lot, just started learning to spin with a drop spindle. Learning crochet for just one project, mostly I don't like crochet. I've designed some patterns and want to do more of that.

I learned html and css for the fun of it, did some websites for people. That's interesting to do although it changes all the time and there is much more to learn.

I like cooking, canning, foraging locally, gardening.

Life is too short for all the interesting stuff there is to do and learn.

"in" Family driving me crazy on social media

by freemindfade in

does any other fader who maintains a minimal connection to preserve family ties have this issue:.

i post something on ig, facebook whatever.

and from my super zealous family i get preachy posts.

On each post there's a little icon in the upper right corner. If you click it, you can choose "I don't want to see this" and it will disappear, but it won't unfriend the person who wrote it.

watching the pbs program as i write...........

I liked it that the tone of the report was even-handed, no excessive drama. It made the story all the more shocking. Especially at the end when the reporter revealed that the wtbts recently sent out another letter to the elders, with the same policy.

What comforts you when you no longer believe in a ressurrection ?

by EdenOne in

our family just lost someone dear and very close, a faithful jw.

as we went through the entire funeral services and meeting long time brothers and sisters, who in general have been very kind and warm towards us, we realize that the hope of resurrection is a meaningless utopia for us, like a fairytale for little children.

we don't have faith in it anymore, and serves us of no comfort.

I find it comforting to know that someone who has been suffering is no longer suffering. I find it comforting to know that those I've lost aren't aware of the loss, I may be missing family and friends that have died, but they aren't sad and missing me. I find it comforting to know that once I die, I won't know I'm dead.

I don't want to die, and feel sad there are people I'll never see again. I think it's sad that awareness/consciousness comes with the price of knowing it will end some day. But, just the same, I'm glad to have had the chance to live, to appreciate the universe and the wonder of living, even if it's temporary.
