  ok people we need to talk.. if you put up on this forum the n word, the d word, the c word.....i don't even want to spell them out because i am not going to offend people i care about.

  if you need to know send me a pm.

  you know the words that trigger the gut reactions.

  What things do you do to mark your progress away from the WTS?

  by Lady Lee in

  i was at the meetup this week and had a couple of interesting comments about what people have done to mark their progress away from the wts/jws.. one person said that when she recognizes that she has taken another step away she rewards herself with her own private birthday party, cake and candles and sometimes even a gift.

  she is doing this for all the birthdays she missed.

  and it needn't fall on her birthday but it does mark some change in her.

  To all JW lurkers

  perhaps you have been reading this board for awhile, and you may believe some of the things we have been saying, however you are still gripped in fear of armageddon.. .

  the wt society has been predicting armageddon for well over 100 years, and when the prophecies fail, they blame you and say "we never said that".

  if i can impart any words of wisdom to you, it's just this:.

  The best gift a friend could give

  by free2beme in

  i was a new ministerial servant and figured i better take on all the assignments that were asked of me, even the ones i did not exactly like.

  which brings me to how i got to know, brother johnson, he was an older man in his nineties and in all the time i was growing up, i could count on my fingers how many times i actually saw him make it to the meetings.

  ever know someone that was just so old when you were born, and you knew so long, that you convinced yourself they were just always old?
