  Actually, what makes me truly happy is

  • knowing that I have a better future to look forward to
  • knowing that I'm free from the painful burden of the religion I was born to.
  • knowing that I have found real friends, not just the fair-weather variety!

  Immune to shunning

  if that is the appropriate word for it.

  i was walking towards the postal office, and i wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings.

  and all of a sudden i stopped dead in my tracks, cause i was in collision course with another human being.

  Well done Viv, your warmth and dignity toward that "sister" has proven that you're worth a million witness automatons.

  2. friends

  i called today, then emailed my resume and they asked me in for an interview tomorrow - and if i'm accepted - i start on monday for six weeks paid training.

  for those who know me, this is huge.

  this job would take me off of social assistance just like that.

  Useless Drama Pictures

  do any of you good people of jw.com remember going to a district convention and hearing that little announcement the chairman would make before the bible-drama started?.

  it generally went like this: "please remain seated during the drama and please do not obstruct other peoples view if using recording equipment such as camcorders" and he would also say "please do not use flash photography because it distracts others and is of little use.".

  they made such a fuss anyone would think we were all going to witness the second coming of christ, floating down on his chariot onto the field!

  , I loved the dramas as a child, they made me come out of my convention induced sleep! It wasn't a coincidence that they usually put them towards the end of a session. I loved them especially if I was, or one of my family was, involved or starring. I have many truly awful drama photos that I unfortunately cannot post here, as I still have to retain some anonymity.

  Here are some random people, none of which I know, just wandering about the concourse, this was also before the Twickers rebuild.

  Joanna, sure they had postcards! They were all dreadful! Did anybody use them? No. Were they just a money making endeavour? Yes!

  And what about those equally useless postcards you used to buy at conventions? Here's one from the International Assembly in 1973:
