  i haven't been inside a kingdom hall in years.

  i wasn't df'd or da'd, just faded away...so to speak.

  but i haven't been totally free from the clutches of this organization because my husband is in it.

  Saturday Morning Musings ...

  one hot, hot thursday, in july of 1987, i worked a half day, drove from wilcox county to mobile county to pick up a sister, then hit i-10 for new orleans to attend the convention which began the next day.. the evening traffic was unbelievable; when i finally arrived and pulled into our hotel parking lot, i was shaking like a leaf in the wind.

  we checked in, and after showering, i fell into bed and slept like a drunk person.. the next morning, friday, was a complete blur as we made our way to the superdome.

  i don't remember anything that was discussed that day, just the searing heat as we returned to the hotel.. after a long shower, i again fell into a deep slumber.

  she began searching for god.
