yay!
i was brought up as a j/w and my mum stopped going when i was a teenager.
i tried to get back into it as an adult but spent more time in the bible studies arguing, so i kind of realised after a few years it was going nowhere.. spent years just studying on my own cos i couldnt find a christian organisation i felt i agreed with and stayed clear of church cos of so called.

this morning, the elder taking the field service group said that all placements of kn37 had to be counted, with the campaign ending on november 12.. placements after the campaign could be made, but not counted.
the service was all hype.. now, let's imagine that all 6,500,000 witnesses placed 50 tracts.
how many would they place altogether?.
I got home this afternoon about 3:00 PM after a great morning at church and then coffee and brunch afterward with friends......and some shopping (window type). Lo and behold! When I opened my storm door......the tract fell out. It has been about 2 to 3 years since any JW has been on my street. I guess they gave up on me!
And.............if I would have been home, I would not have answered to their knock.

my voice hasn't been heard here in quite some time.
i just wanted everyone to know that you all are truly missed.
since having no access to the internet, i no longer can keep up with all that's going on, from the inside-out.
Art.......
Of course I/we remember you. You have been missed. Sure hope you can work things out for all concerned.
Put on some "BOOTSY COLLINS" and I bet a smile will come on your face!
Best wishes to you.

ok, i'm writing this thru tears as i just found out in the last 5 minutes.
my dad died in august, and they had been together just 1 or 2 weeks over 70 years married!
i didn't expect her to last without him, and visa versa.. i just tried to call my sister, and no answer there.
Brenda,
My heartfelt love and hugs to you at this time. I don't know what to say anymore at the injustices imposed by the JW mindset. They really have a lot to answer for.

Sam,
If you think guns kill people then cars get speeding tickets and forks and spoons make people fat.
Michael Moore is an idiot who doesn't know truth from fiction. He's laughing all the way to the bank knowing that he has fooled people into believing his crap.

about 5 months ago gumby had a knee operation, it never healed and the doctors here suck in a big way.
so yesterday he and his wife went south to get a second opinion and maybe get this knee surgery healed up.
so if you got it in you please pray for his speedy recovery and healing.
Wishing you the best Gumby. Get that knee fixed so you can kick somoooor arse!
I'm going to be making a post about knee operations after the first of the new year since it looks like I will be having an operation on my left knee. I'll need all the info I can get from those who have been there.

i've been thinking of this a lot lately.
the following experience ties my first doubt in with my present life.
as a backdrop to this, you should know that i was a 5th generation "raised in the truth" jw through my mother (her great-grandfather got "the truth" from pastor russell).
To make it short and sweet............it was the lack of love among the people who always said that Christ's true followers will be known by the love they show. Sure isn't the Jehovah's Witnesses! Then of course, there were always the nagging doubts of how other scriptures were explained to only be applied to the JW's.

P.S. Remember this..............There is no such thing a unconditional friendship in the borg. The ones you are close with are no different than rattlesnakes. As soon as you think everything is hunkydory..........you are turned on and bit.
i am very proud of what this site has given him in the past few years.
self pride and help for how he was feelling.
but this will be my last topic and last post.
My heart and best wishes go out to both of you. Ending a relationship is not an easy thing to do but knowing that you both still.......and will always love each other means a lot. Sometimes after a break-up......the friendship that follows is 10 times better than the original relationship. Mainly because both party's are able to grow and become strong.
No matter what................keep in mind that GOD LOVES YOU!
Let daily happines be with both of you.
