  LOL.

  Hi, CoCo.

  I'm feeling especially heartened today.

  My 16 year old g'daughter has a job!

  She's taken an interest in a nice young man and is outside right now "helping" him work on his vehicle.

  I'm giving myself a mental pat on the back ...

  Being a JW Used to Be Fun :-)

  we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .

  Oh, I almost forgot to mention about the bookstudy in private homes.

  We met at the spotless house of one dear soul; it was like one big happy family.

  She had a nice garden and would glady share her lush collards with all.

  The dear lady has since passed on, she had no offspring, so the house is left empty, desolate, and is beginning to deteriorate.

  Much like the WT.

  Simple, kind, honest-hearted ...

  That is what drew me into the JW's; that is what I was looking for; my childhood was traumatic and very unstable.

  Is this an actual account, Nancy?

  So much ballyhoo at the zoo!

  I'm no longer with the JW's, but one of my daughters is still in.

  To me, it's hardly recognizable anymore.

  Tee hee hee.

  That story reminds me of one that my estranged husband used to tell.

  He lived in an apartment during his bachelor days, and one tenant had a parrot that used to sit in the doorway and say hi to everyone who passed.

  My husband said one day he stopped and poked the parrot in the side, and the parrot squawked, "Help! He's killing me!"

  Needless to say he never did that again.

  The chitter chatter of the teenagers, the pitter patter of the little feet of the toddlers, all this combined to pummel my grey matter.

  Yes, but this was during the 70's when I was young and naive and fired up with biblical zeal to do Jehovah's Watchtower work.

  I actually enjoyed myself during those times.

  2. bible

  when i first learned ttatt, i read loads all at once and tried to absorb everything.

  then i slowed down evaluated my priorities and took one step at time.

  now my kids know ttatt and i have set some goals in life, i am ready to take on my next project in my deprogramming.. intellectual intimidation.
