Totally agree!
" Standing Ovation "
i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.
one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.
i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.
Totally agree!

i am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.
My, how times changed quick.
I take pride in cursive hand writing. I like to write letters and most always in cursive.
A little off topic but I learned that Latin was taught in 25% or more american high schools, before I entered school. I felt like I got ripped off.
... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..
I would fit into the "to wrapped up in many epiphanys about the borg" to debate politics. So here my energy goes to confronting my mind on those issues and finding common ground with others in that regard and un-fu#%ing myself.
I learned pretty early on here that I need to take care of that first. Though it is tempting to engage, its not personally healthy for me. What is healthier for me is reading them and looking up things, drawing from my own experiences and let things process in my mind. I also just my be the sort of person that cant ... but who knows what the future holds on that for me.
So this is how I see it. If I come on a site looking for say, Jazz, Blues, and Classical music. I can clearly see the Stations to choose from. I see some Stations are not playing that music. So its up to me to click on the Stations that Im wanting to listen to ....OR.... I could click on a say Hard rock Station and complain that they are not playing Classical. Then I get what I get. .... Or/ and I could just read them, like right now and see what I can learn.
Ive got plenty of opinions that I could vocalize in regards politics but I realize that Im Superior to all you loudmouth right , left , middle shit asses and it would go over your head so I just watch you all play with each other. JUST KIDDING!!!!! I jest.
Really I just want to my interactions to as peaceful as possible while learning and growing.
Amiable A- Im 15 min in The Alex O'Conner video. Thanks, Im digging it so far.
