JW's on Facebook seem like happy people
by Smoky ini just recently got a facebook page and started to look up some old jw friends (im a long time fader).
i see there pictures and comments and feel kinda jealous that they all look happy (im in a rough stage in my life).
i never was happy as a jw, and since i faded i am more comfortable in my own skin....the future looks bright for me.

Anyone remember chicago's Harrison spanish Cong. scandal?
by Smoky ini was quite young but, i did not hear any details of it until i was a adult.
as the story goes, it all started in the 80's with a bethelite couple coming back home after the fred franz incident in ny.
they started to spread these so called "apostate" ideas, in the weekly book study.
