well ive been raised in the truth for 20 years, and serve as an ms, but have overtime realized that its not actually the "truth".. any thoughts on how to best let it be known that im not interested in being a witness, and once thats accomplished how to assimilate myself into.
the "world", since ive been shut off from it for my whole life and programmed to believe every non witness is only interested in hurting others.. any thoughts would be helpful.
Find a hobby that will allow you to get together with others that have the same interests. You will quickly make friends, real ones that don't care what religion you are involved with or not. Having non-JW friends is absolutely vital. If you have non-JW family now is great time to re-connect with them.
It's not an easy task but a very worthwhile endevour for your mental health. Welcome to JWD!
We have deer on our place every day and I never get tired of watching them. My daughter and I just saw a two point buck yesterday while we were hauling firewood. He came within 50' of us and I enjoyed seeing my daughter trying to contain her excitment. I am constantly amazed at how well they blend into thier surroundings.
Keep an eye out because if they are there once they will most likely be back.

By the time I am 60 I will probably have 500 pics of them.
Uzzah, that is a young elk cow.
i think it was last year, though it might have been the year before that, or the year before that.... one of our great crowd had a holiday display in front of their home.
the display featured a representation of frosty the snowman, a well-known icon of babylonish religion (he was known as zedikiah the snowman back then).
the display was vandalized by some dubs who lived next door to "casa frosty," and the vandalism was witnessed by neighbors.. at the time there was some discussion about how the incident should be handled.. as i recall, the dubs admitted their wrongdoing to the cops.
That happened right after I joined here and I was waiting to hear the outcome. Thanks for letting us know and I hope there won't be a "part 2" this xmas. Sometimes it seems like the only use for the US justice system is to get something out in the open for the public to be aware of. This little incident had to be a nasty little black eye for the local dubs.
i don't think this is a hoax.. i have been watching this am the wildfires in socal.
they have already lost some beautiful buildings.
it does not look like things will let up soon.. i was in malibu a few yeares ago, horrible to see.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,303799,00.html.
I hope they get some level of control over it real soon. Back when I was a firefighter I hated brush fires more then any other just becuase of how tough they were to get under control. Fires double in size every minute and that is w/o any wind. When they get hot enough they start to generate thier own wind.

We rotate two goats on two 1/2 acre fields and within two weeks they have eaten most of the grass/weeds. In the spring the grass grows as fast as they can eat it. The major downside is they will kill small trees by eating the bark off all the way around the base.
The pic above is one of the fields in spring and we just put them in there. It's not as fast or neat as a lawnmower but one of the fields is our dog's field and the other is my daughter's play area. Neither of them need to be manicured but we also don't want to be mowing it all spring and into the summer. So our little hooved buddies are a great compromise. They are also great kitchen waste composters along with our chickens.
We got our first one when my daughter was three and she was out playing with them w/o any problems other then her foot got stepped on occasionally.
The house in the background is big enough for a full sized lab and two mini-goats.
i bought one of those new fangled devices, by cuisenart...pour the stuff into a prefrozen container and watch it turn into your dream homemade icecream....not!.
it comes out soft and soupy.
if you put it into the freezer it hardens into 1000 year old glacier like material.. it tastes good, but the texture is never where you want it.
The older ice and rock salt unit still gave my wife a more consistant product then the automated (Hamilton Beach) ones does.

The lower temp seemed to be the trick. Can you adjust the temp lower on your freezer?
Edited to add: She also told me that she mixes it longer then the instructions say to to get more air whipped into it.

We bring ours to my wife's (non JW) family reunion each year in the mountains. We pick the small wild blackberries and then make vanilla ice cream using the actual beans and mix in the blackberries. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife uses a similar ice cream maker but freezes the container in our chest freezer which is around -10 (f). She never had any success with the fridge freezer either.
i have this happen to my eye almost monthly and i was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this?
i have read that docs usually don't treat it unless it's secondary to hypertension.
my bp is very normal i am am not taking any anticoagulants.
That is interesting and thanks for letting me know.
