by coffee_black ini'm curious.
i grew up in the borg, and had my share of friendships.

Gutted/excited/gutted/excited/gutted/ex...
by sleepy inhow did you feel when you first learn the real truth about jehovahs witnesses.. was it a relief did you feel excited about all the things you were going to do or try?.
or did you feel absolutely gutted , years down the drain, no paradise you won't see your dead parents again?.
did you initial feelings last or have they changed?.

WTS/UN UPDATE - IMPORTANT
by hawkaw inthere has been some more progress on the united nations front and getting more evidence to you very nice people.. for your information i have located an ngo in toronto who houses a small library of quarterly reports that dpi sent to the various ngos.
this is my first time i have ever seen these and i will have them going back at least 10 plus years.
my previous ngo friends had offices in new york and thus, did not have these - nor was i aware i could get my hands on them.

GB or Anointed the FDS?
by Thirdson ini was reading via kent's site some of the "to all boe" letters.
i noticed something in particular in the letter of february 27, 2001 about the formation of the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, a new legal entity.. that letter in part states:we thank you for your cooperation with these adjustments made by the governing body in fulfilling its assignment to care for all the master's belongings.
(matthew 24:45-47. i thought the "faithful slave" was entrusted with the master's belongings not the gb.

Eathquakes and March 22nd Awake
by BluesBrother inif someone has already noted this, then i apologise, but i have just received the awake and i could not help but be amazed at the paragraph on page 9 .. they admit now that u s national earthquake centre report that large quakes "fairly constant throughout 20th century" furthermore they say.
" note though that the fulfillment of jesus words (matt.24.7)does not require an increase in the number or power of earthquakes....distress is measured not by number or how they rate on the richter scale, but by the effect they have upon people".
apparently it is all our fault for building in the wrong place.. is this not a u turn?.

EX-JW Activism, anything new?
by Mindchild inive seen posts here and there in the past months on this board that talk about ex-dub activism but i hate to admit this but most of the activities mentioned are rather ineffective in really doing anything but making us ex-dubs feel collectively better.. we have discussed protesting at conventions, making a protest walk, peeing on c.t.
russells grave, playing some games at local kingdom halls, and playing mind games with dubs online.
i really dont have anything against these forms of activism but i dont think they accomplish much.. what i therefore dare suggest and beg for your comments are new ideas of how we can redirect our anger more effectively and support actions and causes that sting the borg like hell and also help others out the door.. i have nothing but praise for the actions of people who take a stand like silent lambs, or others who have setup informative ex-dub websites and i think one good thing we could do is support these efforts by doing some fund raising.. i also would love to stick something right up the ass of the gb but im trying to think of just how to do it.
