  Didn't RR go down to FLA or somewhere for a gaming convention for the week? Maybe he did get caught, but he's probably just busy...

  on saturday i had to get my driver's license.

  the clerk asked if i wanted to register, and i took her up on the offer.

  i have often thought about joining the ranks of voters but never felt strong enough about an issue to go through the process.

  okay, so i suppose i asked for this...but regardless i'm ready to puke!

  last week i e-mailed an old "dub" friend from another city.

  she's had some health issues and i hadn't heard from her for a few months, and wanted to know how she was doing....her brother also recently got married and i asked about that as well.

  "wow friend, I was just checking in to see how you are coping with your health and family. Didn't expect the shepherding call, but you know what they say: 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!' Really, I do hope you are well. Love, Krissie."

  My Story

  by XJW4EVR in

  2. experiences

  i was adopted into a jw family in southern california.

  my birth mother gave me up after 6 months (the terms mom & dad refer to my adoptive/real parents).

  she gave me up due to the fact that she already had a three year old boy, and back in the late sixties it was not as socially acceptable to be a single mother.

  Reading...and waiting. I too grew up in a home with "real" JW parents. They were true believers and lived the "truth." Interested to see the story of your exit.
