How was your Mother's Day?
by journey-on inmine was terrific.
loving visits, cards, dinner, and togetherness.
i know if i had remained a witness, at least one of my children would have left the borg, and we would probably not have the beautiful relationship we now have.

Do they still have Unassigned Territory?
by journey-on inwhen i was a kid, going in "unassigned territory" was a big adventure.
we packed picnic lunches, loaded up the cooler with water and drinks, and of course, a trunk load of extra literature.
it was an all day affair and we really felt like we were doing something special for jehovah....going where there was no kingdom hall nearby and putting the message out there!.

Contest.....Who Can Be the First to Guess
by journey-on inthere has been a rash of exiting (by choice or by simon) posters only to return incognito.
one or more have had a secondary "identity", and returned under a forum name set up months ago.
terra incognita's style is so familiar, but i can't quite put my finger on who this person really is.

Terry's not the only one.....
by journey-on in...that can ask "what would you choose" hypothetical questions.
i hope he'll answer mine.. what would you do if science proved beyond any doubt that there is an afterlife where one's consciousness gets uploaded to another dimension at the time of death and your "soul" carries on (like a caterpiller morphing into a new form as a butterfly) in that new dimension.
wait....i'm not through:.

Natural affection vs. Love --- Did the WTS get it wrong?
by journey-on inthe wt org.
is leading their flock away from the truth rather than toward it, imo.
the wts is stealing that from them.. what jw's do to their family members who leave the org is not natural.

Has your anger turned to pity?
by journey-on ingetting through the tough steps toward real freedom from the wts involves a lot of work for some.
many, start out angry that their authentic lives were hampered by a high-control group of men posing as god's organization.
we feel robbed of something we can't quite put our finger on sometimes.

Did having children make you a better or worse JW
by journey-on inafter i had children, i changed gradually in the way i thought about the religion i was raised in.
one day, it dawned on me that if my child was injured in an accident and needed blood to survive, there was no way in the world i would say "no" to a blood transfusion.
why continue the charade?

Why Don't JW Congregations have a Choir?
by journey-on ineven if it were just four or five good singers that practice during the week and get to know the new songbook well, this would benefit the whole congregation.
music is such a vital part of the overall emotional connection to the gathering, a well-rehearsed choir singing along with the congregation would encourage and uplift, don't you think?.
what is the society's reasoning for not doing this?.
