13LOU REED - r.i.p. (a special memory)
by Unlearn ini've always loved lou's music.... hearing about his death this am makes me remember when my little family was on the run.
i was a 'visible' elder in my community, so when we got 'free' mentally, we took a choice available to us that, sadly, some don't have.
we disappeared...just relocated to another town.. listening to 'a perfect day' by lou reed reminds me of those first few months...walking through one of the big city parks on cold sundays...both of us beaten and bruised and still in shock.

Same here OTWO! I cherish out friendship. We are planning on next year in Tahoe. Wish you were with us also.
Just lovely lovely people all around....a great take-away. Being in a cult does such a head trip on you; and not the fun kind. Great to be able to sort things out with people in the same boat.

Tonight I'm going to see some old friends I met from this forum. As I posted a comment on FB, xJW's from all over the world started chatting. Canary Islands, UK, AZ, UT, IL, IN, WA to start and more before the day is through. It made me verklempt as I thought about it. We do have our own brotherhood here...
We see each other's photos, hear about our families and our days...and chances are we will never meet face to face. But we are family just the same. It's a beautiful thing that would not have happened if not for JWD/JWN.

The reason behind why the ex-JW community can never match Jehovah's Witnesses' success.
by Stand for Pure Worship inan average of five kingdom halls being constructed daily, almost 8 million brothers and sisters, dissemination of bible literature in 595 languages, 111,795 congregations worldwide, distribution of 179 million bibles available in 116 languages, 239 countries where jehovah's witnesses have a presence, etc.. need i go on?.
on the other hand........... crisis of conscience, freeminds, the awaa, jw.net, ummmmmm........hmmm........idk six screens or something?

Clearly this guy is a new convert, or a DF'd zealot whose only means to contribute "theocratically" is to set apostates straight. There is no experience in his words; doesn't know how things have worked for years...only what is written in the literature.
Nice try buddy. Good luck.

Apples and oranges. But I'm sure you are smart enough to know that.
Give it another 5 years and they will be force building the same KH's again and collecting the payments from the same people. Poor kids. The RBC is a scam.

A one sentence reply that could jolt a JW
by HBH inmy mind was wandering last night, and i though of this as a reply to a jw.. "oh, your the people who believe 8 men in brooklyn, ny are directing the world's only true religion.".
the sentence is a fact that they can't deny, but clearly shows delusion.
any other one sentence "stingers"?.

I check a dozen or more times a day. It's a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, and see what everybody is doing.
