I watched it and felt Audra McDonald out sang Carrie Underwood. Still quite a gutsy thing to do live for all involved and I did enjoy it. Personally, I think a show targeted at families on a school night should definitely have started earlier. My teen was too tired to stay up for the whole thing.

My daughter and I decorated our first tree today. She started studying Judaism (Jewish boyfriend) and once she knew we were done with JW said she wanted to celebrate Hanukkah. We did and it was nice. I have zero interest in the relgious aspect of Xmas, think it's a shame when people overdo the commercializaction of it, yet for the first time, see how for the majority of people the holidays are more about time with their family.
We did a white tree with aqua and magenta trimmings. It came out quite pretty.

Trying to find a suitable non relgious card to send to our non JW peeps.

I loved life before. I love life now. Kinda like that quote about being married...if you aren't happy single, what makes you think you'd be happy married?
I've always had issues with JW things, but was still in the bubble. Stepping out of the bubble has been eye opening and faith shattering...and I'm okay with that. My mapp used to say, "Life is what you make it". It really is :)
I choose to look at the positives of being raised as a JW.

Doc, how true :)
Oh, I should have initially added the email was for us to update the BA site with our skills, languages and passports.
Also, the email said they are looking for help for Warwick (we are in Forida).

I'm fortunate that my entire family lives quite a few states away from my daughter and me. I'm a very socially active person and I finally let the non-JW girls that were always there really become closer to me. They have been an amazing support to me and show more concern for us than a single JW ever showed.
Snare&Racket, I like that quote. I had wine bottles engraved with labels that symbolized my freedom, in my most recent (and first to be celebrated) birthday month: Carpe Diem for one and "to thyne own self be true" for the other.
If you are leaving JW and don't have a support system I HIGHLY recommend finding volunteer opportunities. You'll have fun and meet some likeminded people.
Yes, some will smoke and curse excessivley or be annoying religious, but part of moving on is re-educating ourselves and opening our minds. Think of how many Americans are asleep Sheople and be happy you escaped And can now question everything!
