Waaaahhh!!! The Pentecostals have my OH held hostage in a field
by mummatron inwell, ok i admit i exagerrated a little bit there.
they don't actually have him held against his will.
he's stuck in a field in essex being paid to do the sound for some pentecostal convention/rally/festival thingy.

The J Dub Culture of Skirt-Wearing
by mummatron inthis is something that has always bothered me.
as a born-in jw i was raised as a little girl wearing skirts and dresses which is clearly quite normal in terms of gender-appropriate clothing.
however, the older i grew, the more i realised that all jw women and girls wore skirts to meetings and when out in fs, but would wear trousers in their everyday life.

A Typical Witnessing Letter from JW Family
by mummatron inthought i'd share this as this is a typical example of the kind of letters i get very occasionally from my jw family.
in this instance it was sent as my daughter had spent some time in hospital.
note, very little information in terms of family news.

Food for Thought Music Videos
by mummatron inthought i'd post these as they're quite 'deep' and in-keeping with many of the discussions on this site.
but not only that, they are great songs in their own right and i doubt many of you outside of the uk will have heard them, so definitely worth sharing imho.. http://youtu.be/s3b-rirbaa0.
super furry animals - run!

Astounded Newbie Here...*Waves Hello*
by mummatron inall i can say is "wow!
" in the 10 years i've been out i had no idea that forums like this existed.
a tad naive-sounding for someone with a background in it, i know, but it's taken me this long just to feel comfortable enough to type 'jw' into google.
