i was officially installed as a member of kiwanis international last evening.
one other member and i had been attending since spring as members but never had the ceremony.
they finally got around to it this week.
In our community I work very closely during Christmas with our local Kiwanis club. They put on a breakfast with Santa, and they hold it at our local Salvation Army. They ask me to find the children that are in need for them. It is a wonderful club.

NVR was getting ready to go to a 12 step program.

in the 1979 movie, "the china syndrome" there is a scene right after swat team members have retaken the control room from jack godell.
(jack lemon) kimberly wells (jane fonda) nervously whispers to richard adams, (michael douglas) "the reactor is the biggest bomb in there!
this reflected a belief, common in the 1970's that commercial nuclear reactors were capable of going up in a mushroom cloud like an atomic bomb.. although no one can deny that accidents and malfunctions at nuclear power plants can potentially be catastrophic, these reactors are not capable of a bomb-like reaction.
I find it amazing that I never questioned anything that they wrote, and I read. Wow is all I can say.

i am white, my husband is black.
he is not baptized but goes to all the meetings and is in the school.
a few months ago i read the following info which i just copied from vinny's thread.
I say good for you. Please take time to heal from a controlling husband, and a controlling religion. Enjoy you, find out who you are not defined by any religion or man. Good luck we are here for you.

clearly, the internet and sites like this one helped get me out.
once i started continuously reading how the organization and watchtower writings were bogus, i couldn't help but get out!
.
I was already out before I found out the truth about the "truth." If it was not for the internet and sites like this, I am sure I would have tried to return, or lived with tremendous guilt about leaving, that would have clouded the rest of my life. Thank the Lord for sites like these. The internet just reaffirmed my leaving.

I also like the looks of celtic crosses....they are beautiful. I have no problem wearing them. I felt funny at first, but I don't care what my family thinks now.
