Oh, man! I'm a middle child too. I think the middle children get screwed. The oldest got stuff the others didn't get, and the baby got stuff the others didn't get. So unfair! What a conniving little brat. Did your lil' brother get his payback later? I'm guessing he did...

You're sitting
by John Doe inaround the table with your 5 siblings and two parents, about to eat a chicken dinner.
everyone has worked hard that day, and you can see the jealous sneer and determined posture of your brothers as you leer at each other and wait impatiently as your father says the prayer.
"amen" comes, and you all reach for a chicken leg, while your mom swats your hands away and bids you to mind your manners.. everyone gets a piece, and all of you could easily eat a second or third, but there's only one remaining piece of chicken sitting in the plate.

When I use Firefox I can't format my posts for some reason. Chickpea, I also want to say that you are an amazing parent. AMAZING. And yes, it is sad that you are an obvious exception in this area; I'd like to think that is changing as well, starting with parents and families like you and yours. Peace be with all of you. I have a lot to learn from your family. ~Rachel

Chickpea, thank you for teaching me this: for edification and PC-ness, when in doubt, the question to ask: how do you identify? most people in a sexual minority will appreciate a desire to be clear.....

I agree with Cog: Dad gets the last piece of chicken AND manages to swat a kid or two as well. Are we right?

OMG, Chickpea, I never made the connection! Doh! What an idiot - I was just thinking about this too, all the Pampered Chef and candle and tupperware and Avon and whatever else parties I went to as a Witness and how it was so strange that so many Witnesses at so many different congregations had these parties. I thought it was just a local thing. Someone nailed it on the head when they said many Witnesses are not well educated and thus easy targets for scammers. Thanks for the enlightenment. Just another sad thing about the poor sucker JW's - and how I'm so glad I am not part of it anymore.

changing
by lancelink ini have realized lately that i have come to terms in a way regarding the beliefs of the jw's.
for over thirty years, i did my best to be a productive, supporting member of the congregation.
within the last three years there have been a number of deaths in my family.

"I didn't write a letter to quit, they didn't own me." I like your attitude about this! "I didn't know what "grace" was. The word was taken out of the NWT and replaced with the negative words of "undeserved kindness"." I didn't know this!

Are you now involved in a different religion or structured group?
by feenx ini was browsing another post where wtwizard implied membership in another group, and was asked what it was.
that got me thinking...since coming out the society, has anyone embraced another organized religion or group, public or secret?
if so, what is it, and what made you join and continue membership?

I have visited a Unitarian church service(really liked it) one time. I thought I would go back, but the following Sunday I started to feel something like what a panic attack might be. I tried again the next Sunday, and it was the same thing. So I decided that organized religion (even one as liberal as the Unitarians) is just not for me - not at this time anyway. PEACE, Rachel
