I can't think of a single positive thing about being raised (I use the word loosely) a JW.  Yes I did learn some valuable lessons while leaving.  But that's like saying you survived a plane crash in the wilderness, and say it's a good thing because you learned cooking skills from having to eat dead passengers, and learned wilderness survival by walking for 3 years out of the woods.

Jody image

  When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
-- Ansel Adams
