you must have the patience of job, i don't see how in the world you kept this site up as long as you have.

you have provided a much needed service to decent people looking to escape the jw cult.

you have been insulted, threatened, and everything else.

i have been very lucky over the past few years to have a good relationship with my mom (she's a long time faithful jw and i'm a long time df'd person) and avoid any contact with the rest of the jw world.

unfortunately, this has all rapidly changed in the past several weeks.

my mom was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness and has only a short time to live.

hi all - it's been a while since i've gotten a chance to sign on and visit you all.

nice to be back.

i heard this from a friend who attended a meeting last week.. .

the speaker said that two months ago he heard of a pioneer brother in new jersey who was carjacked and shot dead after he tried to run away.. anyone confirm this?.

i always shuddered when i heard of witnesses being killed in unnatural ways, especially while out on the ministry - where the hell were the angels flying in midheaven when he needed them?.

So...I got duped today!

i am one of those people who always gives money to those who ask me on the street.

the reason is because there was a time when i was a kid that my siblings and i needed to beg on the street for food money because mom and dad were both addicts.. anyway, i was on my way into walmart and a lady stopped me and asked if i could give her a few dollars ($5 to be exact) so that she could pick up a prescription for some medicine.

she explained that she and her kids have been sick with bronchitis and although the kids were better she was not and had run out of money until her check came on the first of the month.. i can also sympethize with having to wait for government checks to buy what you need having grown up on state welfare programs and i reasoned that $5 is nothing for me and my husband because combined we bring in over six figures a year income.
