I had to lock down my FB after stating my opinions openly about tax payer property being used to promote one religion over others. I went to Tazewell High School, I graduated from it, and moved on. Believe it or not, going to Tazewell High school was seen as "moving up in the world" when I left Berwind, WV. I, for one, can attest to what Rhonda has posted here based on my own experiences of the area.

I left.

I will go back, my parents are still there, but I won't put them in danger so I'll keep blocking, I'll keep my opinions to myself on most things to do with the place, but I'll keep fighting, quietly and in the ways that I can. Rhonda is not joking, she's not "bigging it up" as they'd say there. I don't doubt a single word that she says because I'm FROM the place. Support her if you can, she needs it living there. She really does.
