I've been registered to vote for 16 years and participate in all elections from local to national. Luckily I've never been called for jury duty. But if it ever happens, I'll tell he truth and say I have no faith in the justice system, and it would be impossible to believe either side, rendering me useless to make a decision.

To Vote or Not To Vote... that is the question.
by harleybear inas we all know voting or any political involvement is a big bad no no in the jw org.
i actually have been a registered voter since i was 18 and was still in the org.
obviously i kept that very quiet until i made my break from the org.

I would if I could. I had jaundice from a bad gall bladder, and a rep from the American Red Cross said I shouldn't ever donate.

My 8 year old gets it
by discreetslave inmy 8 year old has recently discovered star trek and loves it.
the other night we watched an episode "return of the archons".
whenever someone spoke differently or questioned, it was recognized that they were not one of them or "of the body".

For example when she was almost 3 she proudly announced at the dinner table "I'm a goat. I want to be a doctor not a pioneer so I'm a goat and I will die at armageddon because I want to be a doctor.
Well, she's a smart little goat, LOL! Good for her, but I hope she's over the fear of Armageddon.

"one of the most tragic things i know about human nature is.
that all of us tend to put off living.

My jw mom was in her 30's before becoming a jw, so she already had kids and was on her third marriage. Even so, she has no family life with her kids or siblings, (even the two who are jw). From what I hear, she's isolated herself with a few select jw friends, two of which are a nephew and his wife who are close to her in age. It's really very sad, because she could be grandma and great grandma to my brother's and my stepkids and their children.

I'm in NE Ohio three miles off of the turnpike between Cleveland and Youngstown. You and your pup are welcome to stay in our old camper, (electric but no water), or you can stay in our spare room as long as you can tolerate cats and cigarette smoke. The dog, though, would have to sleep in the camper or garage, because our cats would probably kill and eat him, LOL!!!
We're not fancy, but we have a clean, comfortable home, and I'm a decent cook. My husband does prtty well on the grill too.
My brother lives in NW Maryland and loves to ride his motorcycle. He may want to accompany you for part of your trip if you're in that area.

Welcome Tabitha!
Welcome Tabitha. I also go to a Unitarian Universalist church, but I don't believe. They are just wonderful people and a good community, and don't concern themselves with what I believe or not.
New Chapter, are you certain you're attending a UU church and not just a Unitarian one?
