  i cannot believe the difference in my vision.

  even with glasses my vision in the left eye was poor.

  but i can now read a 12 font fairly clearly without the glasses.

  My husband is in the "not ripe" stage, it is so nice to see that it is totally outpatient and virtually painless!

  in october of 2000, i faded away from the watchtower.

  like most people, i have family and friends who are jw's (including my wife and parents).

  fading is generally the best method for people in that situation.

  Agnostic, my husband is a devout christian and I see no reason not to attend with him. A "social christian"?

  Visited Beth Sarim today

  my sister in law has been shunned by the family since she da'd herself at the age of 18 and moved out of the house.

  i always insisted that my wife keep in contact with her and made sure she knew she had a soft place to land,with us, should she need it.

  even at the risk of it getting us in hot water with the pioneer,elder,bethelite family members there was no way we were going to let her disappear into the wild blue yonder on her own.

  The New Diary of Winston Smith

  we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

  fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

  i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.
