Will they Eliminate the District Convention?
by kid-A inok, i am now guilty of feeding into the "big announcement" frenzy on the board!
another poster made an interesting suggestion that the "hypothetical" big announcement may be the elimination of the d.c.. i think this is a real possibility.
its been cut down to 3 days from an original 8 days over the years.

Why do the majority of "newbies" disappear ???
by kid-A ini have noticed that, in general, there is a "core" of regular posters on jwd that have been members for several years.. however, it seems the vast majority of "newbies" disappear after a couple posts, days or perhaps a week.
how many "welcome" or "introduction" .
threads have we had here where the new member disappears within a day or so, never to post again?

How do we define a "Victim of the Watchtower" ?
by kid-A inmany of us ex-jws feel like victims, regardless of our personal background with the watchtower.. however, how do we define a "victim" of the jws?
i have often felt that the only true victims were the "born-in" children of the jws who through an accident of birth, have been forced to endure watchtower brainwashing from infancy onwards.
in addition, we had to endure the barren existence and public humiliations of a typical jw child as our parents forced us "to be no part of the world"....... should we consider adult converts to the watchtower in the same light?

How many people have you SAVED from the JWs?
by kid-A inok, maybe the word "saved" is inappropriate.... in my case, i would have to count three.
two of my best friends from when i was growing up who initially resisted my questions and apostate leanings but are now free of the borg and have confided it was our conversations that led to their de-programming.
and, my sister, through pretty much the same circumstances.
