""this would be awesome if it was true. i'm finding your posts very hard to believe. sorry." I dont mean to sound direspectful here, so please excuse me if I am out of line, but has anyone else noticed the flood of newbies posting their first thread introducing themselves? I think it's great to have new members, but most of us joined JWD and lurked for a while before getting the courgage to be vocal. I guess it could be possible in light of recent events, i.e Barbara Anderson's CD and the Sept KM, but could something else be going on?" Has anyone noticed, additionally, how many old-timers here are saying "good-bye" lately? Perhaps "newbies" aren't such an oddity after all?

I must say Goodbye for now
by KW13 inthis may not be a forever goodbye, but its certainly a goodbye to this stage of my life because i need to make real progress instead of just talking about it.
i may post the odd post on a rare occasion, but its not part of my plan really.. i posted a topic called the truth, which was originally going to be my farewell to this forum.
i think with my current situation, having a son and having a family that requires my attention it would be wise for me to move on in some shape or form, because i dont want the negativity of the watchtower society to rub off on my son and give him any of the grief and worries i had when i was growing up.

Good for you, KW. I take a break now and then, as well. We all have other things to do with our time. The internet can be addictive. And that's not good for us addictive personalities. We will enjoy hearing from you again sometime - about your real life and friends. Best wishes!

"The Brotherhood, and being able to have a close relationship with Jehovah, and knowing I will see my parents someday", came the reply as full blown sobs and tears followed her to bed." 2 words for that: emotional blackmail

It makes me feel so angry and depressed to hear what you went through. I am so sorry for your troubles. I am really relieved to see that you are moving on, though! Good for you!

I actually remember an SNL skit from years ago (late 70's or early 80's) using the music from "Jaws," where the Jehovah's Witnesses are eaten (or attacked) by a "house holder's" pet (or invading?) shark (or some such scenario). My parents, siblings and I were all active JWs at the time and thought it was hilarious.

Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?
by shell69 ini remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!
or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.
i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

At a book study the people sitting across from me busted out in horrified laughter at the site of my straddle-legged pose, whilst I was obliviously reading the Truth book.
I was maybe 7 or 8 years old.
At some point in time, I had written my name, "JOY" in bright, blood-red, permanent magic marker into the crotch of my underwear.

One Sunday, my momster took me and sis outside the KH for a good beat-down. We were both screaming bloody murder for a good few minutes. Much to momster's chagrin, the KH windows were all wide-open, thanks to cool, springy weather. Talk about disturbing a public talk.

amgdn survivialists: stockpiling beans and rice?
by tula injust wondering why, if the end is coming so soon, why the jw's were not warned to make plans and stock the ark?.
faith without works is dead, you know.
works require action.

I hope they're stockpiling some beano, too, in the event a bunch of people actually have to live underground, eating beans and rice all the time.
Can you imagine putting up with all the resultant flatulence of bean-eaters living in a bomb-shelter? I'd rather be destroyed by the Big A than asphixiated by my neighbors' farts.
