If you go back to my first posts in 2004, you will see a post of how I threw two of my fellow elders out of my house.......not only once.....but twice. This happened in the late 1990's but I didn't find this site until 2004.

Today I am truly happy.

If you have had the CO or DO over for a meal...

by A question in

jw
friends

how long were they able to stay?

what conversation or other things did you do together?.

HappyDad

The only one my late wife and I had over for dinner was Harry Mitani and his wife.in the early 1980's. We also invited several other cong. members. The Mitani's were great and I remember a wonderful time with them. I think the difference between them and some of the other aholes was the fact that the Mitani's raised kids and had to have a regular job before getting involved with the circuit work. They knew what the average JW had to go through. God bless them.

Are you all a bunch of assholes or what? Leave his wife out of this. She has nothing to do with the crime he has committed. It seems that many ex/apostate JW's don't really have a life and they/you have to grab at any rotting flesh you can.....just like vultures...and make a story out of nothing. Come on people.....get your own life together and move on. If you moved on and got a real life, you wouldn't be so quick to be a part of some one elses life. Some of you are worse than the people you left behind and show hatred for.

by Jaime l de Aragon in

murder investigation alleged to involve watchtower according to world famous detectivenote: all persons or entities such as a corporation are to be considered innocent until or unless proved otherwise by a court of law.the detective who has acknowledged watchtower is obviously involved is scott bernstein who has been on america's most wanted tv series etc.

there's more about what he said on a taped phone conference farther below which also see.. .

from what has been said and repeated by many others, including david lynn carter of roanoke/wirth, virginia, when he was alive, david had been under u.s. federal protection after having been poisoned by two jehovah's witness elders and a relative although he also contended with having been born with a genetic condition.

I am totally stunned! This religious cult has destroyed too many people. My heart goes out to the ones who love him. May the rest burn in hell if there is such a place.

Do you ever just start CRYING for apparently no reason?

by Terry in

jw
friends

i spoke to a friend of mine about this not too long ago.. we are "of a certain age".. the subject came up somehow.. .

i'll be watching a tv commercial or i'll see some people in a park or a simple passing thought will suddenly induce a profound.

sense of---well, how to describe it?

HappyDad

The only comment I can make is....yes Terry. It happens to me sometimes for all of the reasons you stated. I will be 66 in less than 5 months and for the past couple of years I have realized that I am changing physically, and not for the better. I wonder what will be in the next few years not only physically but financially. Will I wind up in a senior "wharehouse" where I'm not really taken care of?

I see young families and think of the time I was in that position. My heart aches at times that I don't have a companion. Oh yes, I have a lot of friends and some of them are lady's. But I haven't met one that I want to be with permanently. At the end of the day, I'm always back in my apartment looking at four walls.

However I am very lucky to have a daughter who loves me and is always after me to move to Florida so I can be closer to her. Her reasoning "jokingly with tongue in cheek" is that I'm not getting any younger and if it comes to the point......she can't fly up to Pittsburgh to change my diapers.....so I need to be by her.

One thing I have to do is to spend more time thinking of all the good that has been and still is happening to me post WT. I'm a very lucky man. In the past 5 years or so, I have already lost friends who were younger than me to cancer, heart disease and other malady's.

It's just one day at a time!

Let's Discuss Ray Franz's Books

by Recovery in

i have been repeatedly pleaded with to read the books of ray franz in my short stay on this board.

apparently these are all the all-powerful, wt crushing arguments, that lead so many to leave jw's and become ruthless opposers of god's people.

we can discuss any claims/statements/scriptural arguments presented in either of his books, as long as it somehow proves jehovah's witnesses are not god's people.

HappyDad

Recovery,

Who gives a shit about scriptual debate? Most of us had our fill of it for decades. I for one don't ever want to debate scriptures even though many of my past posts talked of only "still" being a Christian.

Debate time is in the past. It is now time for living my wonderful life with whatever years I have left.

Went to the DC with my wife.... WHY OH WHY???

by Cinciguy74 in

so, in a tit for tat agreement with my wife to do something i wanted to do, i agreed to go with my wife for saturday and sunday to the district convention.. for most of the day, i simply read other things, paying little attention to what was going on.

my wife could care less if i am paying attention, more that i am there to wrangle little ones who are being distruptive so she can listen.. but one of the things i did catch, was that they highlighted "four satanic teachings".. one of which was that "you need a higher education to succeed in this world".

so higher education is now satanic??

Cincyguy74,

You have a PM.
