    Just thought I'd pop in after a couple of years and say hi to all my old discussion mates if any are still posting on here.

    How you all doing? Anything new in JWDland I should know about?

    Cheers

    Hey jnat

    Great to see you still on here, holding down the fort and holding back the unruly mobs!

    So am I invited to the party? Doesn't Simon live in Alberta? I'm in BC, so a bit of a drive. You going?

    Hi Berengaria

    I'm sorry but, I don't remember you. I see your earliest post is 2 years ago and I haven't even looked on here for two years, so if you know me, I guess you were lurking and reading for a while before you posted. Which is great. Nice to know JWD has a much larger audience than is posting at any given time because that means they are still getting the word out about the JW's.

    Thanks for the greeting

    I joined up in about February this year I think so I'm new, but it's nice to meet you. There's a lot going on JW world, even since I left! A whole lot of new light about blah blah blah FDS blah blah blah the Governing Body rules...

    Hi Lois

    Jan 1, 2006 was my new year's resolution to never set foot in a Kingdom Hall or assembly hall again, and I've kept that resolution. I was having doubts for years before that though. Letting go of all my family and friends was the difficult part and still is. At certain times, I still feel the loss of a sense of community and belonging, but still no regrets. No going back.

    What about you? How long have you been out? Posting here? Doubting and lurking before that?

    Hi Julia

    Your post made me laugh. Every time I hear anything about JW's or hear JW's talking my eyes glaze over and it all sounds like blah, blah blah to me. Just background static that I can't make any sense of and no longer care to try. That's how you know you are truly out and have moved on; when you no longer care what the JW's are saying and doing now. Or if I do have a moment's interest, its' more for the humor value than actually caring or getting angry.
