Do you tend to be a 'keeper' or a 'leaker' ?
by Gregor inof small confidences you have been brought in on.
do (did) you find it irresistable to pass on small tidbits when you have been asked to "keep it to yourself"?.
as in -- "don't say any thing, but...".

Questioning me as an apostate
by God_Delusion ini am an active jw.
i was born in the "truth" (i really feel uncomfortable calling it that) and am now married to a witness.. for a year now, i have actually come to see that the gb are just business-psychologists.
anyone who views jehovah's witnesses as a religion and not a cult, really needs to evaluate their way of thinking and they also need to look up the definition of the word "cult".. anyway, my parents recently came over on holiday (they live in another country and are also residents of bethel).

Accents and Dialects
by snowbird inso as not to further the "head cheese thread," i'm starting this one because of something narkissos mentioned about a fricative consonant.. it's like an f or s, produced by forcing air through our teeth.. that got me to thinking about the test the gileadites gave to the ephraimites in judges 12.. judges12: 5 -6 gilead captured the fords of the jordan at the crossing to ephraim.
if an ephraimite fugitive said, "let me cross," the men of gilead would ask, "are you an ephraimite?
'" but he would always say, "sibboleth"he couldn't say it right.

Have you ever done something to show your disgust with the Kingdom Hall?
by Leprechaun inthis one time, the night they disfellowshipped my sorry ass from the christian congregation smerk smerk,i came strolling back from a beer bar and had to pee in a major way so i stumbled my way next to the entry door of the hall and let loose with at lest a picture of rolling rock beer after it was filtered through me kidneys, it still makes me proud..

I commented about apostates today at the meeting
by cognac ini couldn't help myself.
it was so obnoxious what the paragraph was saying about apostates.. so i said that having a difference of opinion is not a problem but really as brought out by thessolonians it is when a person raises themselves up above god to have people follow them instead of god that they are considered bad in god's eyes.. i don't even know if it had anything to do with the question, but i just wanted to say that, lol..

Do you ever shed the Jw experience?
by AK - Jeff ini have been out for 5 years.
my wife and i left together.
she saw the sham long before i did - though neither of us could 'put our finger on' what was wrong until we read coc, found the internet, etc.. i believe my wife leans toward atheism more than i do - i consider myself agnostic of the whole matter at this point.
