i just found out that a dear friend of mine was outed by a poster on this board!!!
i am soooooo angry and disgusted it's hard to contain at the moment!
so to all those out there that are trying to fade and get other family members out, don't let anyone know who you are!!!
here we go again, trev.gate part 2...
thank you for the warning, i am glad you have warned us as some here will no doubt take heed of those warnings.
as for what we can do about it, i am not sure. for many its probably too late - lets just all remain good friends and not fall out with each other because of some idiots who can't help but hurt others.
correct me if you think i'm wrong but i don't think the meeting teach witnesses anything they don't already know.
"getting reminders".
i do not understand why anyone would want to leave the comfort of their homes to pretend that you're going to a "life-saving" meeting..

this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. in 1970 when i went to bethel we signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society had the rights to our body.
yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty year old you didn't think much about it.. i know of two brothers who killed themselfs while at bethel and two others who tried end their lives.
my guess is people have been killing themselfs at bethel long before i ever got there.
I doubt very much the Society are killing people off lol
hello friends!.
has anyone here run a successful online business?
i have an idea rattling around in my head and i am looking for some ideas on getting started.. thanks.
Do things on a small budget if it won't affect your chances, for example your Web Hosting - sign up for a cheap package with a company like dreamhost that you can run month to month so you dont have to do a yearly plan and invest money you may never see again.
Do it Legal. Dont take shortcuts 'obtaining' any software or necessities. If it catches up with you its a nightmare you wont get without and it may also end your dream business.
Do not share your idea with people you don't trust, it sounds mad but the more people you tell the more people might become competition - but still ask for needed advice like you are.
Good Luck.
okay, this is the latest crazy email that i've gotten from my sister who is a happy drone within the borg.
i'm trying to imagine mayor bloomberg picking up the tab for the clock on the building .
hi guys here is a story told at the annual meeting!
how is this awe inspiring lmao, its a clock...is he was so awe inspiring couldnt he just let em power it themselves, instead they are relying on satans system to power their clock lol.
five months may as well be an hour.. .

it was only one hour ago.
No one deserves to lose someone they love, i am so very sorry for the loss of your Brother
so my sister-in-law, who is a pretty hardcore jw, showed me an email that looked like it had been passed around quite a bit, so i figured someone on here had probably seen it.
supposedley it's a picture from the movie "i am legend" where will smith is walking through new york and all the buildings in the background are in ruins except for the bethel building, which stands out, undamaged and clean.
i watched the movie and don't remember seeing anything like that so i just figured that some jw photoshopped it and sent it out to the jw community to show that the bethel building is protected by god even in a post apocaliptical world run over with zombie vampires.
if the building being fine means anything, it means the witnesses are as screwed up as flesh eating zombies...how else would it be ok, i am sure will smith and directors didnt put that much thought into it.
If it turns out not to be a Local issue (on your PC) try contacting your ISP and asking them to reset things their end, i did this and it fixed the same issue.
they've finally given me medication - i am on a low dosage now, usually its 20mg but i am 10mg to see how it goes and then step it up in a week if i feel i need more, but sometimes it can take a month before your body tells you whats happening anyway.. whoo.. had my first tablet this morning, didnt feel brilliant but at least i know i'm not rolling on the floor and stuff lol..
Thanks for being supportive.
Yeah things are looking good now and i feel a bit off with the medication but nothing like i thought i might, just tired really. House is coming together and everything, i am a lot happier in myself!

thanks your kind words everyone, it really means a lot. I agree that the witnesses make things worse and are probably the cause of the health problems many ex-witnesses suffer.
I intend to finish with meds at some point, i've spent goodness knows how long avoiding them but right now its my last option.
the meds i am on are called Citalopram but the name might vary a little in different countries/places.
