I guess the Williams' sisters are smart with their money but beyond that...
by Atilla inwell, i was watching a little t.v.
today before work and the arthor anderson tennis charity program was on c.b.s.
both of the williams sisters were playing, helping a good charity of course and also promoting their new book how to play tennis.. they had this young interviewer girl asking dumb questions, trying to make it like some mtv road rules competition or something.

Baptismal Pool
by Sunspot inthe other day i received an email from a man in croatia, who sent me and someone else a copy of a picture from a wts magazine.
i wasn't quite sure about the contents, but it looked to be legitimate----but being in croatian i was not sure of what it actually said and i ended up putting it aside intending to check it out (if possible) and then forgetting all about it.
he had also sent this to another person, who went to the trouble of verifying the facts and getting an understanding of what was being said in the picture.

My first time here
by Samdownunder inhi i was just wondering, is it really different being in the witness religion as a full- fledged member than when you are studying with them.
are you treated differently or is all this "control" people talk about over exaggerated?

A good little story.
by Atilla inwell, college is starting up next week for me and i had to go to campus today to pick up my books.
one of my friends from work as well as college has been nagging me all summer about this friend of his who is a jw.
my friend told me that they hang out all the time but often argue about religion.

my first family prayer since the fade...
by Surfacing init has been some months since my wife and i left the org.
my mother is an absolute zealot, and had heard through the grapevine (aka the underground policing comitee; we live in a different circuit and district now) that we haven't been to meetings.
she is the last vestige of guilt that i have remaining about leaving, though not in the conventional sense.

stuck in!
by red so deep inwell, this is my first post here, and i'm kind of doing it in secret, cause i know if my parents knew of my "poisoning myself with apostates" they would not be happy at all.
anyways, my story is; i'm 17, i've been brought up "in the truth" my whole life, and now i'm starting to question the wt and christianity in general, and i have nobody to talk to about it.
i feel awkward about talking to my witness friends about it, cause i worry that if i speak out against the organazition and the wrong people (i.e; young ones around here that would never think of questioning the society) hear about it, it might result in my punishment (reproof or dfing).

Thank those who helped you out of the Org
by Nosferatu inhere's a thread for all of you to thank those who helped you make your way out of the org.
i'll start.. i'd like to thank my ex-fiance for the support that she had given me when i needed it the most.
when i was faced with the elders coming to give me a shepharding call, she had given me the encouragement to stand up to them, and tell them truly how i felt.

J.W.'s just don't seem to be as strict anymore, what happened?
by Atilla inlet me explain.
i have been inactive for about 3 years now, i just walked away.
i was quiet at first but as i began to find out more and more about the deceptions of the wt, i have been more and more vocal in my viewpoints to my parents and former jw friends.. this past month has been very busy for me.
