A Christmas gift for everyone on this forum
by Giordano ini was thinking what to get you all for christmas this year to say thanks for all of the great thoughtful posts, for lending a helping hand to those who needed it, defending the community of ex witnesses when necessary and always sharing ideas and questions.. i looked for something that was a 'one size fits all' but also personal enough to put a smile on your faces, to ease your troubles and a gift you could share with others.. on a personal note i being of a more advanced age sometimes wake up with a little cloud over my head.
time is running out on our one precious moment on this planet and it's easy to get a bit 'under the weather especially around the holidays.. so the following may come at a good time......use it well and thoughtfully.. the address tells you what you will find but it doesn't tell you how funny and richly awarding it will prove to be.. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/21/sports/football/at-107-a-buffalo-bills-fan-who-sees-it-all.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=homepage&module=mini-mothion=top-stories-below&wt.nav=top-stories-below.

Tell me what they are thinking or planning to do.
by LogCon inthis is the situation.. ten years ago two fleshly brothers and their wives, [ all are jw's and one is an elder] defrauded an elderly couple [ she was a jw/ he was friendly]out of the possession of their home and property.
one year after that, they took the life savings of the elderly couple and parked it in an account, without their knowledge.
when the old couple found out what happened, the four co-conspirators refused to return anything.

Period of time from crack to avalanche
by NeverKnew ini know, people are very different and have different levels of holds to the organization, but i'm insanely curious about how long an exposure to ttatt may marinate before culminating into an action to research further.. from your earliest memory of a planted seed due to an event, challenge from another person, accidental website hit... whatever... (the crack) to the time the ttatt became a reality, (the avalanche), how much time expired?.
i guess we have to remember that everyone here is a success story and that for many, it may be never.. .
