My dentist saved me today
by La Capra ini adore my dentist.
she inherited me when my dentist before passed away, about 7 years ago.
she always remembers everything about me and asks tons of questions that i can't answer while she clears away the plaque of the last six months.

Mom initiates contact
by La Capra ini adore my mother, she has but one flaw...and, well, that is the story of my life.
when i quit jws cold turkey at the tender age of 19, i was still living at home, with her and my dad (the long-suffering unbelieving mate).
this enabled my mother to still have her only daughter and youngest born in her life, with little hassle from anyone.

questions about 1975 and other dates
by Leander inmy wife and i were discussing the date of 1975 earlier this week and she basically was of the opinion that the individuals who thought the end was coming in that year came up with the date based on their incorrect assesment of published information.
i replied that would it make sense for thousands of people across the continent to sell their homes and all of their valued possesions if they really had the slightest doubt that armageddon was not coming in 1975. she did'nt have an answer for that retort but still she insisted that somehow these people must have made a mistake in their judgement.
so for those of you who may have lived through the 1975 fiasco and those who have in-depth knowledge about the events that took place in that year maybe you can answer a few questions for me.. how widespread was the belief that 1975 was the year of armageddon?

Voting Bush out
by Jayson inwhat is the best campaign stratagy to win against him?
be serious this is to win the minds of american voters not to polerize them against you.
otherwise it's a plug for him.. i think that the one real weakness is unemployment in america.

My JW Grandmother died
by KGB inwell my jw grandmother died...am i sad ?
i do have to wonder if she is not facing jesu right now and being shamed for all the hate towards her grand children simply because they were not jw.
i only had a realtionship with her for about a year and it was only for short moments on the phone if i had happened to be over at my mothers when she called my mom.

Do you believe in Armageddon ??? Watchtower sure scares them good !!!
by run dont walk inalot of discussion referring to the new book released learning from the great teacher, and the scene of armageddon page.
what a pile of garbage, how could the society justify in publishing such pics.. if/when armageddon comes (which i doubt), it probaly would not take more than one minute.
i cannot see people running around screaming in terror, with their clothes torn and beating each other up, like the watchtower portrays, just another scare tactic for the watchtower.

Grandparents rights
by Swickley ini left the cult over 25 years ago and never looked back.
sadly, my daughter has recently returned to "the freakin flock" and now my granddaughter is being indoctrinated.
i am no longer allowed to even see her unless my fanatical jw daughter supervises every word -- and then its only once every 6 months for a few hours.
