  How long it took you to find out

  by one in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how longo it took you to find out your mate was cheating you, kidding.

  really how long it took you to find out the truth about the truth or at least to become really distrust about the whole thing, and why.. to start i just knew, by summer 1974, that big a was not comming on 1975. the oil embargo, nixon etc kept me worry for a while.

  i even resigned a very lucrative and promising job to piooner.

  Any Non-Anointed JW's Posting Here?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are there any jw's posting here who believe that they are not of the anointed class?.

  also, of the jw's who post here who do consider themselves as of the anointed class, do you feel that you have a special mission with regard to making ex-jw's aware of their standing with their creator?.

  englishman.. ..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.

  i ran into a jw from my local congregation last night.

  he was, to my surprise, very polite to me.

  Where were you in 1975?

  by dins in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a vivid memory of 1975 even though i was only 6 years old.

  i remember the whispers and the fervor surrounding the year.

  i even had an uncle who marked his calendar every day with big red xs proclaiming that he couldn't wait for "this evil system of things to end.".

  America Bashing

  by TR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all of the america bashing going on of late, i thought i'd mention the fact that america stands for freedom, as flawed as our system may be.

  you're even free to be critical of the government and it's leaders.

  the many men and women who have died defending this country did so to preserve the rights even of people who hate the u.s. there are many different cultures here, so there are many different attempts at creating laws for the land.
