Can only fellow apostates understand us?
by sleepy incan only fellow apostates understand us?.
as a witness i often felt that i could only really get on , on a deep level with fellow witnesses.. they shared your outlook on life , and had similiar experiences and problems.kids who grew up as witnesses had been through the same things in school as me.. so even though i could get on with other people , in a way i felt connected to other witnesses.only they could understand me.. but know i feel an instant connection with apostates.. we now share the same things.in a even deeper way than when a witness , as what we have done has effected us even more.. is it possible to connect in the same way with people who havent been through the same things as us?.
do you feel closer to others like you , and find it easier to make friends with such people?.

Do you consider yourself an ex-JW?
by Introspection ini'm gonna go for the direct approach here.
it's kind of strange to identify yourself as an ex- anything, to define yourself using a former identity as a point of reference, one that is no longer.
in some cases you might use it to clarify your relationship, (i'm jane's ex-husband, or whatever) but again it gets weird.. i mean we don't think of ourselves as ex-kindergarteners or something do we?

Observations on a bunch of Ex Dubs
by refiners fire inperhaps i could have put this in the "apostofest" thread, but i didnt want it to get buried and unread.. a load of melbourne ex witnesses rolled around to my house yesterday for an "apostofest" bbq.. i must admit i was a bit..apprehensive.
fact was, i didnt know any of them.. total strangers really.. would things be strained?
would people have nothing to say to each other?would it, in fact be an embarrassment?.

LaRouche Throws You Know a Mirror!!!
by cellomould in"and when the president of the united states refers to sharon as a man of peace, i'm sure that sharon feels insulted.. "but the point is: why, then, does the united states support this?
it's not because there's a zionist lobby.
as a matter of fact, some of the worst anti-semites in the united states, are the so-called pro-armageddon christian fundamentalists.

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic ini had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).
(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).
anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

Who Pays The Ferryman....?
by hillary_step infrench philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
