  granted i expect a couple of you out there are doubting this and have expressed this, i certainly respect your right to do so.

  that being said there are some of you who have dealt with this bigfoot experience in a very real way.

  so here it goes, i had mentioned my son and his girlfriend last weekend were going back to the place my son had his may bigfoot sighting experience.

  open mind, people.

  What Are Your Special Interests?

  first of all, i'd like to say that the purpose of this thread is in know way an avenue for me to boast, but merely to share an interest with you all.. there is one thing at least that i'd like to get back into now that i no longer have so much of my time taken up by jw activities, and that's music.

  i won't name the instrument on this thread because that'll be telling too much info about me(as if i already hadn't) and i don't want to just blatently give my identity away since many local jws know about this, but i'm starting to realize how much i've missed playing the intrument.

  i haven't touched one in 5 years, yet i still feel that i can pick one up and play it.

  Just started COC, can't stop crying

  i left the wtb&ts 24 years ago after being a full time pioneer for 15 years and have never looked back.

  i have no family "in" and have moved very far away from the congro i left.

  no one here knows i used to be in this cult.. i experienced the usual shunning from the members of the congro i went to and from surrounding congregations (the city i lived in was big and had several khs), but it didn't last long because i moved away shortly after the "big announcement".

  I know what you are feeling. It does get better. It took decades for some of my feelings such as yours to surface before I could deal with them.

  I just had a huge surge of emotion that came flooding over me from reading OM's Clarice thread. Emotions mean you are still alive and human.

  We are here for you.

  Peace \/

  In Memory of Clarice. Musings from the Hills.

  this weekend i went for a spectacular, solo, saunter in the hills and woods where i live.

  if you keep reading, you'll be heading down the rabbit hole of where my mind went.

  you've been warned!

  OM, it's not often that a post here touches my soul as yours has. I knew a couple of Clarice's in my days as a teenage dub. There was Dan F. An older brother that tended his huge apple orchard in NH. I worked for him PT as a teenager helping him tend his orchard. The bookstudy was at his house. . We had many talks such as yours with Clarice. Dan was really in touch with the earth . . his philosophy then I later recognized as the modern Gaia (or Gaya) philosophy. His wife was the zealot, Dan was a lover of plants and fruit trees and animals and the brown dirt that living things sprang from. I was blessed to even know him.

  Then there was Heather. A widowed Scottish woman of Clarices age that I totally adored. She was like my Auntie way back then. My Dad, the superfine elder, didn't like me hanging with her because of her independant and somewhat boisterous spirit. . I used to do chores around her place for her, gardening, mowing the lawn etc, all for the awesome oatmeal, butterscotch chip and walnut cookies she used to bake and a few dollars now and then.. She had a thing for roses, she grew them (many varieties) in her back yard. And she was a cat lady with like a billion cats. Wherever she went on her property she was followed by at least a dozen cats. I was quite stricken by Heather. She occasionally would give the elders a pretty good tongue lashing during the service meeting if she thought they were thinking a little too much of themselves sometimes. They were a bunch of pussys when it came to standing up to Heather. I really enjoyed that lady. She once told me "Oh, Douglas, If I were 50 years younger I would sweep you off your feet!" She died when I was 20, that hole is still there. . .

  Sigh . . .

  Thanks, OM for jogging some good memories.
