    I think this poster and I met online in 2001. Early 2002, a JW girlfriend of mine came over from Australia, I had a "get-together" at my house for some of us chatters from about.com. I think that is where we chatted then. I am not sure if it was shut down at that time or not. sKally might remember.

    Shortly after about.com went down I started a JW community. So we all were pretty close, small, about 250 members.

    Anyway, this poster and I were in gabbly last night and he knew who I was, as I have kept my same screen name.

    I was so floored.

    He has slept on my purple sofa on two different occasions!!! Two different get-togethers I had at my house. He was cruisin the chics!!! We climbed Pinnacle Mountain in Little Rock, I will never forget that.

    I asked him if he thought I would ever be out of the truth and he said ......"I thought you were a lifer like me." We were not chatting about any doubts with the TRUTH.

    So here is another person I meet at JWD that I knew as a JW. The poster is primitivegenious.

    I like climbing mountains. Maybe there will be a mountain climbing Apostafest someday.

    Just another way for the folks on the JWD to meet.

    Because it's there! Because we are there!

    That is really cool. Glad that he's out of that soul-sucking organization, and here with us. He's already a valued member of our forum!

    I understand your excitement, but this intrigues me:

    I asked him if he thought I would ever be out of the truth and he said ......"I thought you were a lifer like me."

    Why do you call it "the truth"?

    OH my. I find this very disturbing. If I am understanding this right, people who have the internet, are more likely to turn into exJW's.

    cuz that is just what it is called.

    Do I think they have "the truth"?

    NO.
