jacksonville, fl - the local newspaper had an article on the convention going on for the next two weekends.

while i could not find the article, i was able to find this slide show of this weekend's events.

the newspaper article was interesting as it discussed what a wonderful job they were doing cleaning the arena seats and bathrooms and everyone was enjoying their job.

i have enjoyed this site long enough, that i thought it was time to start giving back.

it's been a reflective few days as i tried to quantify the passage of time.

i am just curious, and not judging.

if you are a christian and you know that december 25th is not jesus' birthday, and may have pagan roots, then why celebrate it?

i was raised a dub as most of you know, and have learned the ttatt so i know how wrong they are about a lot.

The best Anti -Witness
by Wordly Andre in
1. jw
2. friends
i think most jw's expect that your world will fall apart once you leave the org.

you will start using drugs, sleeping around, tea party with demons, you know all of the typical bullshit horror stories like oh did you hear that (insert name here) left the truf, and now his wife left him, he lost his job, he is homeless and being ass raped by demons!

oh no thank jehovah we are all still in.

i recently had a conversation with a jw relative, to which i have not spoken to in a while.

like always, the conversation turned to religious beliefs, and what am i doing these days, to which i responded i am just doing my own thing.

i said what happened with me, was over 20 years ago.
