I knew a MS married, two kids. Several bros and sis accused him of homosexuality. They couldn't prove anything. But one day he got out of the closet and started living with a "worldy"man. He was df. I know a couple more, and ond of them is an elder, married and super gay.

You know that kinda gay guy in your old hall?
by changeling inyou know him, every hall has one.. he really knows fashion.
he hangs out with all the middle aged women at the hall.
his gait, voice and gestures are feminine.. if he were a "wordly" man he'd be a "flamer".. well, here's my question: is he or isn't he?

One of us says:
- I read the whole Bible
- I got questions
- I shared them with the bros and sis
- They got scared and avoided those questions (la la la la la. I can't heeearr yaaaa!)
- That got me thinking. Why are they scared of the Bible?
- I found info in the Wikipedia
- I shared again. They go even more scared
- Since nobody cared or wanted to hear about it I started my journey and here I am

The Good, The Bad and The Troll
by outofthebox inthe good.
thanks everybody for your warm welcome days ago (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/141779/1.ashx).
we really enjoyed all your comments.

THE GOOD
First of all. Thanks everybody for your warm welcome days ago (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/141779/1.ashx). We really enjoyed all your comments. We had a lot of fun reading them. We like to express our special thanks to BrentR, Locutus of Borg, The Oracle, Gordy, edmond dantes, BluesBrother, Angharad, bikerchic, Lady Liberty, and really everybody who took the time to read our post and write an opinion. You made us feel at home. Thank you.
Here is some additional info about us: We are a group of awaken people at different stages of the process. I (the one who is writing now) am the first one who got the courage to write in the forum. Not everybody in our group is so eager to do it, but they read the posts all the time and agree with many things. Since we are 'in', I think you understand why we have to be so careful. About our chat with our PO, here some additional details that may help understand why it happened:
1) He was alone with one of us. Nobody else was near. So, in case of emergency he can say: "I never said that".
2) He had been very open in the past with some of us about other things, but nothing like that. We had to tell you about it.
3) He is the kind of guy that enjoys other people company and talk about interesting topics, not just about the Borg. So, until further notice, we believe him (Also, we can deny, deny, deny).
4) We don't got to an English language congo. Sorry about the "ministry" thing. So, you say "service"? Cool. I'll remember that.Questions for all of you:
1) Do you think about JWD when you are in the KH? We do. A lot.
2) Do you say 'Amen' in the meetings? Some of us, don't do it anymore.All this is part of our little mind revolution.
THE BAD
Some of us didn't love very much some of your comments. Some of us have no problem with them. Some didn't sleep thinking about it. Some of us love all the comments and some of us are so excited to even be here that we just cared about the number of responses (What a geek). So, we have different opinions.We are sorry to even mention it, but, I guess you want us to be very open.
We have a hard question for the board: Why are you here? Are you looking for the truth or are you just mad about the WTS? Do you even think there is a true out there? Are we asking too much? Yes, we think so. Please, don't kill us.
THE TROLL
Thanks for letting us know the meaning of the word Troll. We had no idea. We know you have to be careful (trust us, we know). Someone in our group said the comments weren't the problem, but the reality check. We are not lurkers anymore. We are part of the process. And that's a little bit scary.

Our PO just confess to one of us: He doesn't believe anymore
by outofthebox inmaybe we are the crazy ones!
but, after a chat with the po of our congo, we felt a little better with the knowledge that we are not alone on the inside.
let us explain .... today we went to the ministry as every saturday :(.

to eclipse: I guess he trust us because he knows us for a long time. He's a nice guy.
to bigdreaux: Yes. It is true and it is incredible, isn't it? We went out to celebrate after the ministry! We couldn't believe it ourselves.
to freetosee: I guess he has so many years as PO that he knows there is a guy behind the puppet. He stays because he is used to it. He won't change his life now. But his mind is free.
to journey-on: Yes. We are trying to be careful. Did you notice one of us didn't talk much? The PO was the one doing all the talking!
to sweetface2233: Yes. JWD has been a great help. You are awesome. Some of you are crazy too. LOL.
We never expected this will happen a day after we become JWD ex-lurkers. Coincidence?
Thanks for the advice guys. We will try to be veeery carful.

Sometimes while we learn more and more about the truth about the Truth, we have those feelings: "Maybe the JWs are right after all". Maybe we are the crazy ones!
But, after a chat with the PO of our congo, we felt a little better with the knowledge that we are not alone on the inside. Let us explain ...
Today we went to the ministry as every Saturday :(. One of us was with our PO. And this is what happened...
One of us: ... Yes. I think there is much to learn yet.
PO: You know what? This may sound apostate... but I want to tell you something. Ok?
One of us: (eyes wide open) Yes. No problem. Tell me.
PO: We always used to say the Pope thinks he is infallible, and now we are saying the same thing about the GB.
One of us: (Thinking: Wow! Hearsay! LOL). That's right. We have several popes. LOL.
PO: You know what? I am not really sure about the 1914 date.
One of us: (Thinking: What?!!! O-M-G!!)
PO: We have changed that date so many times! If this system stays for another 70 years we will need to change that date. I don't really believe in it.
One of us: Yes. I thin...
PO: (Interrupting. He was on a confessing rol. LOL) I think about the Universe and there are so many galaxies and planets, billions!, I can't believe there is nobody else beside us out there.
One of us: (Thinking: Damn! I need a recorder)
PO: That's why you will never hear me saying the 'Truth' but the 'Organization'. Because what we believe now maybe we won't tomorrow. So, Truth is a relative thing.
One of us: (Happy and relieved) I agree. Actually we don't even know if we are going to heaven or earth.
PO: (Puzzled?)
One of us: Here. Look. (I showed him Rev. 19:1 and the Heb. 11:16)
PO: (A little shocked and relieved, since now he was sure I wasn't going to tell on him). All I know is I am going to die and maybe God will give me some reward. Where? I don't know. Maybe he won't give me anything... I don't know...
There you go. We are talking here about one of the most loved and respected members of our congregation. A man that has been for more than 40 years in the 'Truth' and he does not believe it any more. Who knows for how long. We were so happy to discover that other JWs have splinters in their minds too. They just don't talk about it. This conversation was so honest and refreshing that I had to tell you about guys.

Hi guys,
We are several people sharing this new account. We hope you don't mind. But, we don't want to get in trouble... yet. So, we can't share too much information at this moment. We just wanted to say hello and thank you for all the mind opening information. We have been lurkers for a while.
We decided to open an account because we have one question: Do you know anything about a 'virginity test' for females getting into Bethel?
Thanks :)
