Bethel Doctor--Is it me, or was this odd??
by Sherri ini was at bethel with my now ex-husband in early 1982. at that time, they did a tb test as part of the physical when you started.
mine came out positive for exposure (though i did not and have never had tb), probably because i had worked as a receptionist in a hospital x-ray department.. the weird bit is that the bethel doctor insisted on giving me a gynacological exam.
as i was only 22 at the time, and butt-stupid, i went ahead and let him.

A New Guy from Chicago with a Story to Tell
by Reborn2002 infirst of all id like to say hello to everyone on this website, and to thank and acknowledge each and every one of you for your individuality, personal experience, and in some cases, commitment to truth.. having read some of the heartfelt topics and posts here have served to be a great encouragement to me, more than some could imagine.
my name is jason, and i am a recovering ex-jw.. i guess this would be an ideal time to tell my life story as an abbreviated version, so here goes.. i was "born into, or raised" in the organization.
my grandfather was an elder for 45 years, and served as one of the very first jw in the south chicagoland suburbs.

A Family Dinner?
by jayhawk1 inon this wonderful weekend, i just wonder how many jehovah's witnesses had a "family dinner" instead of thanksgiving.
i know when i belonged to dubdom, many familys would get together for a "family dinner", but don't dare call it thanksgiving.
never mind the food was the same, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, grape juice or wine, and pumpkin pie.

Will they turn on religions soon?
by Seeker ini was talking with a jw a few days ago, and he said that current events (natch) convinced him more than ever that soon the nations will turn on religion, and the great tribulation will begin.
he said that the current hatred felt toward islamic extremists, plus columnists pointing out christian extremists (i.e.
abortion clinic bombers) are also dangerous, mean that soon the tide will turn and all religion will be viewed as bad.. i responded that although extremists are hated, i've been amazed at how carefully the governments have differentiated between extremists and muslims in general.

Awake! and pyramidology
by ballistic injust read a recent awake on fen shui and it's pagan origins and it made me wonder if they have ever printed a similar article on pyramidology, considering russell's preoccupation with it?.
i would appreciate any articles as my w.library is still not working.. (please no more pictures of pyramids though)!
