i had an interesting conversation the other day with a friend who is also an ex-jw.

this person is older than i am, and was a jw for a number of decades.

she was talking about worldly relatives that she basically ignored when she was a jw.

this may have been covered already, but i missed it if it was.. a lady i work with who is catholic told me that not too long ago the new pope changed the catholic doctrine on purgatory - in that now it no longer exists.

of course i couldn't help but think "hmmmm....new light....".

my question to her was "well, do all the people that paid to get their loved ones out of purgatory get a refund?".

beaumont - each weekend since october, danny farrow has driven about 90 miles to the golden triangle, where he lives in a trailer and feeds thousands of homemade meals to volunteers.

he could be golfing.

More 'great' statements from the MySpace JW forum....
by TallTexan in
1. jw
2. friends
im getting a bit sick of it of late to be honest.

i hardly know anyone that has come into the truth from witnessing recently and i certainly never get any biblestudies.

i guess the internet is doing it's job...... this myspace forum is a sickening, twisted picture of the still-disillusioned - it's great.

i posted this as a response under another post, but i couldn't resist starting a topic on it...lol.

does this sound familiar to anyone???

when i was a jw, i thought there was nothing cooler than getting up at 7 a.m. on saturday, getting showered, putting on dress clothes, meeting at 8:30 a.m., answering a bunch of phony 'how are you this morning's', watching as people jockey for position in their favorite car groups so that they could be with their friends (because god forbid you get stuck in a car group with someone not in your clique), and miss looney tunes while listening to some lame attempt at a 30-second presentation by brother monotonous, then being sure to get out by 9:00 a.m. 'cuz if you were with brother rule-conscious you couldn't start your time until you knocked on that first door.
