A tribute to a remarkable woman - Danmera Dinglebum (AKA JWN's "blond moment")
by cedars inrichard e. kelly has just contributed another moving life story to jwsurvey.. here is the link.... http://jwsurvey.org/domestic-abuse-2/danmera-dinglebum-why-did-it-take-so-long.
i'm sure many of you will be familiar with danmera's brilliant and thought-provoking youtube videos.. for those who don't already know her story, this article should fill you in on the struggle she went through as a young woman thanks to her jw upbringing.. the fact that she has emerged through all of that, and blossomed into such a valuable member of our community, is truly inspiring.. .

i can't sit at the meetings without getting visibily irritated.

Your worst store accident?
by Apognophos inmine: i was walking around a grocery store with one of those snapple iced tea boxes dangling from one hand, looking for the other thing i ran in to buy.
suddenly the flimsy cardboard side of the box came unglued, and bottles dumped out, smashing open on the floor.
a river of iced tea began to run down the aisle.
