Recollections of Ted Jaracz (edited title to not confuse with poster "TJ")
by DNCall instartfragment.
barbara anderson described ted jaracz as kind and nice to outsiders in the congregations, but mean as all get out to the average bethelite worker, sometimes seeming like two different people in one body.
i think that is a fair assessment based on what i had observed over the years.

World cup matches over breakfast
by Simon init just doesn't seem right ... all the matches are going to be on early in the morning here.. i guess it's breakfast with footy instead of a beer for this world cup!.
although i cheered for canada in the winter olympics i think i'm going to revert to being an english fan for the next few weeks (well, at least until we get knocked out ...).. secretly, i'll be cheering for brazil as they are usually the best to watch but most world cups have some great matches (except that germany v austria one, lol).

My Daughter Just Graduated From College!
by GoingGoingGone inshe was about 13 or 14 when i first started having serious doubts about the wts.
when i informed her of my doubts a couple years later, she took the information and ran with it.... she never looked back.
i told her she could be whatever she wanted to be if she only worked hard enough.

Would you tell your JW coworker you used to be a JW
by serendipity ini've realized a new employee is a jw, because he likes to leave jw literature on his desk and because he mentioned "congregation responsibilities".
i am debating whether to tell him of my jw past.. the main reason for considering this is because i had mentioned to another coworker "g" that i was raised as a jw, before the jw's arrival.
if the jw tries to witness to "g", "g" might reveal that fact.

DVD "JW's Faith In Action, part 1 Out of Darkness" Omits! Omits! Omits!
by Wasanelder Once ini've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.
i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.
you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".

Any news releases on Ray Franz yet?
by tenyearsafter ini have been doing google searches on ray's passing and have not seen anything other than what has been posted on the ex-jw bulletin boards.
i thought i read a post by barbara andersen talking about an ap release to be sent out.
has anyone heard anything more...it would be a shame for ray's passing to go unnoticed outside of these forums..
