Have you been abused by a controlling religious group? Has your family been harmed by such a group, possibly to the point of being destroyed as a family? My first family was duped, abused and eventually destroyed by such a group. I was finally able to see through the group's facade of religious hypocrisy. Unfortunately, my first family was destroyed by my "Brothers in Christ" who thought they were doing God's work.
 

It took me a long time and a lot of study to make sense of the situation I had gotten myself into. Just recently I found that there are many other people who were similarly affected. After reading the personal accounts of others who suffered greatly by the Worldwide Church of God and its offshoots, I now know that I did not suffer alone. It has been very healing to read the accounts of others, some of whom suffered to a greater degree than we did.
 

If you were harmed in this way, and want to read the accounts of others (or if you just want to read these accounts), I suggest that you start with the many personal stories presented at this web site: http://ironwolf.dangerousgames.com/exwcg/. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to send me an EMAIL.
 

Now, back to the normal listing of activities that I have been involved in.
 

Recent Projects - The following are some of the projects I have completed recently. If you would like to make a comment or suggestion, etc., feel free to send me an email .

Does your house have plain slant-back metal roof vents? Why not upgrade by adding some fans to these vents? Construction Details.
         

Holly loves the snow. But her love of "chewing stuff up" is still her main interest.

By this third placemat (crocheted) and sixth dishcloth (knitted), I was getting the hang of it.

Placemat Another crochet project. I heard that knitting and crochet can become addictive. Luckily, I don't have that problem. Did I miss lunch again?

First crochet project - a Pot Holder The Harry Potter scarf got a little boring, so I took up crochet to overcome the boredom.

For some strange reason the lawnmower and bicycle didn't fit in the barn anymore. A barn addition provided more storage space. Construction Details.

Doghouse Holly, our new German Shepherd puppy, needed a doghouse. We are resigned to the fact that she loves to chew on stuff (our stuff as well as her stuff).

Second Knitting Project Moving on. A small hat knitted in the round.
First Knitting Project This is one corner of my first knitting project. The rest of the item has a few glitches in the stitches.
