mmmm...Sunday mornings
by Kristen insunday mornings are now my most favorite day of the week.. it used to be that i'd get up early and prepare for service or study my wt.
yep, i was one who had her wt highlighted in several colors and had scriptures jotted in the margins.
if i didn't have it underlined, i felt guilty.

1975 - After 26 years isn't it time to move on?
by digderidoo ini'm relatively new on this site...but one subject i've noticed that seems to create alot of interest is that of 1975.. our family became witnesses it 1983 so i wasn't around at the time.
forgive me if i do not understand why many were so angry with the wts at the time.. i understand the point that the society blamed individual witnesses and didn't take any responsibility themselves.
i can see how witnesses got angry over that.. but, what i do not understand is why many still research into what the society said, or didn't say, or insinuated.

Woe to you..........
by bigboi inthis is not meant to be a blanket condemnation of all jw's.
i thought the title would grab ppl's attention as well as bring light to a fact that may explain stillin's blatantly arrogant post yesterday.. in it he implies that all former jw's must have left the org due to some wrong doing on their part.
he basically implied that everyone who posts here is immoral and the fruits of their actions has turned them into bitter opposers of the org that 'is closer to the bible than any other'.. to me his post is a prime example of the pharasaical attitude that pervades the jw organization.

There is NO religion that could make me......
by LDH ini spoke with my sister last night back in ny about this whole jw thing.
(she is da'd).
we were discussing my pregnancy and the fact that my mom hasn't even bothered to say anything except for the fact that since i'm 'inactive with doubts' the baby would die at armegeddon anyway.

RE: Ozzie's post on "Restrictions"
by had_enough ini have a question about restrictions on df'd persons wanting to come back to the org.. i finally joined here on mar 26, after reading posts for about a month, with telling my story first.
what moved me to join in was reading ozzie's post on mar.23(i think), about "restrictions" regarding reproofs, probations, and df'ing.
i appreciated his comments and was so glad when he brought the subject up.

What would you have done without the WT?
by expatbrit inimagine that you had never heard of the watchtower.
imagine that your life and that of your families had never been influenced by wt teachings.. i know for a fact that the wt's philosophy on further education contributed to my not achieving what i should have at school.
this is not to shirk the responsibility for my grades; ultimately they were my responsibility.
