Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Raven
Just posted this for my friend and fellow ex-JW Richard. He is blind, so I post his blog entries for him. He has written a number of books that I found helpful, and he has devoted himself to a life in love’s service. He’s a mystic and has all sorts of interesting opinions on a wide range of topics. I really enjoy helping him out in the little ways that I can. When I saw this little nugget, I had…
Saxby Chambliss Says He Wants Me
Saxby and I correspond quite often, so I feel comfortable thinking of him by his first-name rather than by the whole ducal title “Republican Senator of Georgia, Saxby Chambliss.” I’ve never known anyone named Saxby before.

Yup, you get the right combination of conditions and – voila! beauty. From Snopes This is…
JW District Convention Invitation Received
What’s a girl got to do to have her house marked with an X on the local territory map of the JWs? For the second time this week, I received a home-delivered invitation to the District Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The first was delivered when we weren’t home. The second was delivered this morning by a lone man carrying an uncommonly nice leather valise. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a JW at the door by himself;…
