Now that I’m on Facebook, I forget about my blog. So, here are some updates:
1. I went to a JW assembly! It was crazy, and a post about it will be coming.
2. I went to Seattle to work on Solace stuff. It was such a great trip and a great experience, and [...]

I left the Jehovah’s Witnesses two years ago this month. To commemorate the event, I thought I would write about my experience with leaving and post it here. It is incredibly long, but I think it is interesting **********************************************************************
My parents became Jehovah’s Witnesses in the early 1970’s. I was born in [...]

Owen’s language key;
( ) = sign language or gesture indicating a word{ } = my narrationHuh-uh = Uh-huh or YesHaaah! = this is either said with an angry tone to denote “yes, and I’m not happy about this”, or a high pitched one to denote “Yes! You are exactly right!”Uh-uh = NoHhhmmm = Yes! [...]

Have I ever written about my snake dreams? I think not. Anyway, I have been having snake dreams since I got pregnant with Owen. I had a four month break after he was born and then I had many snake dreams again. I don’t have them often anymore, but now when [...]
