which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.
I enjoyed the trip! I am a little behind you as I was born in the 60's, but I can relate.
I was a free-range child: we left the house and did not report back until supper time or dark, which ever came first.
I still remember my sisters and I riding our bikes to the beach, (at least a 30 minute bike ride)and staying all day without my mom checking on us.
I look back and shake my head. I was 13, my sisters were 10 & 11. But boy did we have a blast!
(a true story...)not the other story.
little rock, arkansas many years ago.
we were stranded.
Great story. Thank you, it was very amusing.
this post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.
i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.
he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.
Steve2: Thank you for your compassionate and well balanced post.
I was just going to tell all the sceptics to shut the f@#k up if they don't have anything constructive to say and that she doesnt have to prove a thing to them.
But your post is way better.

you think that coming to this site or other anti-jw sites and showing you support for the org is noble.
knowing how brainwashed you are makes me cringe and disgustes me and i am sure others here on the forum.
becasue your in a cult and can't see it.
Cobweb &Millie : Great Posts. I felt the same way. I stayed away from threads I didn't think I was ready for . There are so many things to wrap my head around and some many things I didn't know I didn't know.
I had to pace myself.
the jws have tried to pad the number of jws in camps.
how many actually went and how many died?
can you site the source also?
I think this is one of the lessons of history.

funny but for whatever reason, i can't stop singing walking in integrity from the old songbook!
it's in my head and in my opinion it was one of the few songs i really liked..
BTW I always like "LOVE's Excelling Way" the first edition.
It was mostly putting the scripture to music . Love is gentle, kind, longsufring, I loved that scripture.

What song do you think was the hardest to sing? Remember some of those songs that were almost impossible to sing ?
