I am wondering why so many of us are hiding behind an alias? I really wish we would disclose our true identities, to make all of this a bit more up front. We have nothing to fear, except for ourselves.
I am the former Jan Whitwer. I was married to Ray Whitwer. I was in the walk in the 70's, phasing out of it and out of my marriage in the early 80's.
I was in the walk in Campbell, Ca. under Howard Klein, and moved to SD after hooking up with Ray, in sort of an "arranged marriage." Yes, arranged marriages were quite common as it was frowned upon to date or mingle with any "Outsider or Old Order" people. Choice in Life Partners was quite limited.
Life was very strange at that time. I tried to be obedient. I went with the communal living movement, to the total Earth Mother who made all food out of scratch, providing the household with nutritious and healthy food. I watched as we invested our meager savings into a fiasco called the Holder Mine Investment or some such fraudulent entity. I had my eyes "Wide Open". It produced a huge amount of angst.
In any case, back to my original thought.............why don't we shed our coverings which we hide behind, and reveal ourselves to one another? I think it is time. We all share much in common. Why not put a face to it all. I don't think there is anyone or anything to fear in doing so.
