  do any of you have this problem ?

  my hub is disfellowshipped and not in the least bit interested in this site , which i find amazing considering everything that has happened , its not even a case of him being to scared to mix with apostates because he doesnt like jws and does not believe they have the truth , when i try to tell him anything , he tells me hes not interested, end of conversation .

  there is so much i want to discuss with him (regarding the child abuse thing that has affected our lives ) do any of you identify with this ?

  Does Ringo ever look any older? Aretha rocked it too, and that Keely Smith lady? Impressive. She won the Grammy 49 years ago and is still touring.

  Mulan, ya missed it. It was good, but a shadow of the real show.

  foo fighters' performance was pretty good.

  Kanye West, what a stupid egomaniac.

  If you had a Time Machine would you stop yourself being a Witness???

  what if you wen't back in time and stopped your mother from opening the door to the witnesses...and your family never came into the truth!!

  what if you risked changing everything else in your life...not having kid's or the same marriage partner...would it be worth it.

  Yeah, I think so. If for no other reason than to stop my mother from turning into the JW woman she became.

  In Memory of Puternut

  after reading the news about puternut, i decided to compile some of his posts into one, so we can all share in his memory.

  there are many ups and downs listed below, but i ended it off with a post he made to all of us who helped him during his difficult times.

  puternut is starting his life over, because i had nothing left, and needed to move on.

  Apart from "My Book Of Bible Stories" and the "Paradise" book?

  call it my anal retentious streak, but i've rated every book i've ever read since i was 7. i had phases of favourite writers.. i was an enid blyton fan - the faraway tree, famous five, secret seven, mallory towers series.

  then i got hooked on franklin w dixon's hardy boys and judy blume's eye opening, straight talking stories about growing up which really taught me everything i knew about what life was like for a normal girl not growing up in the jw world.

  i started reading agatha christie when i was 9 and remember taking the maximum number of books i could from the mobile library van that came to our village and being as impatient for its fortnightly return as i was for the afternoon icecream van.

  No Name is a very good book. Wilke Collins was one of my favs. Not really children's stories though.

  what else: Gwen Bristow, Louisa May Alcott, Mary Stewart, Dickens...

  Childrens' books were not usually author related for me (other than the Oz books, Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, etc) mostly I read subjects-- tons of biographies, histories, science "stories", etc. I was limited by a small town library, but it was a GOOD library... one of the Carnegie libraries, so it was established well.
