i drew this image some years back.
maybe you have some ideas what this guy is trying to say?.
"it takes two to speak the truth -- one to speak, and another to.
Okidok,
I went back and read one of your first post to this forum.
I cannot beleive that you did not get even one response to it.
I am so glad that you did not stop posting because of that.

Thanks for your story and thanks for being here.
I look forward to more of your drawings.
i noticed in a couple of threads people discussing the impact this board would have on jw's with doubts coming here and reading the messages.
it got me to wondering where most people that post here were at...what stage in their jw/ex jw process...when they started reading and/or posting here.
also curious, when you did come here what was your main focus?
The KM that BluesBrother spoke about was one of the things that really got me to thinking. What is it they don't want us to know?
Then a talk at the DC at the Pontiac Silverdome in the summer of 2000 really made me sit up and take notice.
The brother who gave the talk said "if you are happy with your life as it is stay away from the internet" (or words to that effect.)
I found out about Raymond Franz's books and I have to say that I am really surprised at what I found.
I never suspected that this was not the "truth" until I got on the internet.
i know i haven't been here in awhile, but i just figured i'd drop by and say hello.
:) haven't looked at the new posts much yet.
i'm guessing things haven't changed much, though.
Hi Sunchild,
I remember you too. It is great to see you posting here again. Please stick around.

Zev,
It is great to know that things have worked out for you.
I am so glad that you are happy now.

Oh, a Buddhist, is Korea's first conscientious objector outside the Jehovah's Witness faith. There are now 1,600 Jehovah's Witnesses in prison for refusing to perform military service, according to Chung Woon-young of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Korea, an organization that represents the minority religious group
Thanks for posting that, Kay.

Bernard,
I am kind of in the same situation you are. We have the CO visiting this weekend and my wife is staying home from FS cutting into my private time too.
She KNOWS this is not the truth but says she will never stop going to the meetings.
Waiting on Jah to straighten things out ya know.

I found it interesting too.
We would love to tell people what we believe," Forbes says. "But they don't want to question us."If anyone did question them they would not hear the whole story.

in the organization, we had [have] limited choices of who can be our friends.
oftentimes, we had [have] to deal with many people we did [do] not like and pretend to be their friends.
of course, we also had [have] to deal with people who carry a lot of baggage and it was difficult.
Kay,
That is great advice.
Thanks for posting.
just wanted to let everyone know that we had a great christmas.
my husband allowed my mother to come to our house over the holidays, and she was fine until christmas day.
we got invited over to my non-witness family's house for dinner, and my mother initially accepted the invitation, however, when it was time for us to depart, she indicated she was sick and decided not to go.
Kay,
I am glad you are here also.
I know where you are coming from when you say you need a listening ear.
I feel that way a lot too. Just need someone to talk to who understands the way I feel.
Chester
