COMF: Who's still here?
by COMF inhi, ya'll.
i left jw's voluntarlily in 1987, still believing but thinking something was wrong with me that caused jehovah to reject me in spite of my best effforts.
after that it was "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die".

Watchtower Article Titles We'll Never See
by COMF ini saw redhorsewoman's thread title, "the time is at hand", and knew why she picked it: because the society uses that phrase all the time (or used to when i was in, anyway... i'm betting they still do).
it reminded me of a district assembly part from along about 1983 called "now is the time" (can any of you brighter types guess which song they chose to accompany it?).
this got me to thinking of how the society has these pet phrases they use over and over again, often featuring them in some thinly reworked format (like going from "now is the time" to "the time is at hand") as article titles.

it came to me in one of those emails that circulate endlessly around for years and years... but this one is not one i have seen before, and so i present its finale here, with my personal "amen!
" i was once involved with a woman who had an aversion to almost everything.

Cultlike behavior in... geez, who'da thunk it?
by COMF infound this interesting list on a website devoted to recovery from substance abuse.
they're talking here about alcoholics anonymous.
not the organization as a whole, but individual groups where someone emerges with a narrow view of what constitutes "true recovery" and... well... just read the list.. cult watch .

A Gentle Reminder
by COMF in...or, for those who haven't seen it before, some clarifying information.
if you're an old timer and you saw it before, perhaps you've just forgotten.. at any rate, i thought some of you might have some confusion--and perhaps irritation--put to rest by reviewing this.
