Excellent YouTube video for those raised in JW home (or any dogmatic faith)
by SweetBabyCheezits inthere are some really intelligent videos from users, qualiasoup, and his brother, theramintrees, on youtube.
this one tells an analogous story that deals with being raised in a religiously dogmatic household..... http://www.youtube.com/user/theramintrees#p/u/0/kaiprrzvnjg.

Works of Nietzsche, Paine, Wilde
by SweetBabyCheezits inin the past, i was hardly keen on reading for pleasure but i have been cracking open some of the more, uh, classic(?
) writings lately in an attempt to broaden my limited understanding.
i'm pretty taken with thomas paine's the age of reason at the moment but i've also come across a number of quotes from nietzsche and oscar wilde that make a great deal of sense to me.

i went out there and standing in the hallway was [your mother-in-law].

A, uh, belated introduction
by SweetBabyCheezits inquick bio: born-in, third gen jw, devout family, dad an elder/po, mom pioneered off/on, baptized at age 10 (my elder dad asked me to wait but i didnt), had overall good childhood, toured bethel, aux pio off/on, finished hs early, reg pio for a year then pio school, met amazing jw girl (also third gen devout), spent a year in community college (paid for by fairly conservative jw parents), got a good job, married amazing jw girl, appointed as ms, delivered public talks and parts on ca/dc, wife and i had first child.
it was a near-storybook jw life (except no bethel).
i had a couple of normal issues in teenage years, but sought the assistance from the elders and ironed it out.

Any ArkLaTex folks going to DC at CenturyTel (Bossier City, LA) this weekend?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'm kinda obligated to make an appearance there for the sake of, well.... appearances.
thankfully we don't have to go on sunday and be forced to sit through the "stirring" drama.
it's funny that the part of the convention i anticipated most when i was a kid (sara lee cheese danishes, notwithstanding) is now the main thing i don't want my own kids to see.
