Down the page are icons where one can move around the site and observe different themes.
I thought this was pretty cool.

i am very angry.
i visited the active talk site tonight, identified myself as restrangled as most of you know who i am, and skally referred to me as "the dog".
i have been a member for just about 2 years, contributed cash to those in need without question, supported those in any way i could and my husband has done the same.. i am beyond hurt..i.thought myself and my husband had supported your cause......to be called "the dog" by one one of your most prominent members lets me know we don't count for squat no matter what we do...much like the witnesses.. thanks skally...you made my day today.. r.. .
Re,
I did not know there was an "active talk site."
Hope you reconsider and hang around...I am still getting to know folks....hard to keep up.
All are needed.
Take care,
V PS: I would have taken the comment in reference to your avatar, too......don't know...wasn't there...
i saw this earlier.. i'm so sorry - it must be painful for two people who love each other to have to part this way - one goes through the door alone and the other stays behind alone.
all the more because my wonderful nephew was killed in an auto accident today, a young man with three children.
death is so cruel.. and in the wake of such terrible news today, i did not miss what you had said, but rather blocked it out for a moment.
Hortensia,
I missed the post, too.
Shoulder hug and empathy from SW MO.....
Take care,

after being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.
over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.
a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.
Sweet,
People want to do a lot of damage to the WT for the hurt they have caused.
People like you Dad are doing the most damage of all: how? By living successful, happy lives post WT. They torpedo the GB better than anyone else.
I am glad you and your Dad are together...so many are not.
Tell him one, old hillbilly agrees and sends his best.

i agreed to speak to 2 elders from the congregation that i was in from when i started my bible study in 1979 to when i disassociated myself in 1990. i was in the same congregation when i got re-instated in 2001 until i got married and moved to another congregation (30 miles away) a year later.
when i left my husband in aug. of this year i had already quit going to meetings for about 4 months.
i moved back to the same town i lived in before, of course never going to the hall.. i talked to them because i wanted closure for myself and my best friend and also my husband, both of them thought if i would just have the meeting with the elders that i would be re-adjusted.
A and W,
Good effort. There is not much to say. These people, as nice as they appear, are not on the side of Truth.....period. You are. Therefore, there exists a chasm between you and them. The only thing that can bridge the gap is honest dialoge. They are NOT capable of that. They have decided turning mind, heart, and conscience over to another is the better road.
Also, like the majority of those supporting the GB, they will lie in a heartbeat if truthfullness means opposition to the GB. You are not the kind of person.
There is no "closure" in this situaion. The WT is a black hole sucking minds and hearts into it. The best thing is distance...get away. Leave people that trade truth for agreement to thier delusion and illusion. There are much better things to do.
With you in this Struggle and respecting your intent and effort.
Lesson learned.

it has been our local circuit's two day assembly this weekend.
it takes place at bristol assembly hall.
from what i recall seating capacity is about 1200. .
IF I could, I would like to go to a DC and carry around a sign that says "Please, keep your zipper zipped" or "No cleavege, please" or something like that...just wear that blank look and carry the sign, in hand, about.
I think this would be a fun way to spend a few hours.....

i so loved the post of the kitten the other day.
i checked-out this week and drank three bottles of gin, even though i stopped in toto four months ago, my wife is out of town.
please do not post anything about counseling here as i have tried that and am on lots of meds.
O,
The fact that many have pmed you shows the concern that is out there. We ALL "get it." We know. You are in a unique community and the love is there.
YOU MUST REACH OUT......just a few numbers and you are mind to mind, heart to heart.
Just do it....just once....
Brotherly concern in a way you will never know,
V
in order to understand who the lord of lords is, some groundwork on god being one needs to be established as biblical truth.
if the bible in deuteronomy says that god is one, and that hes the lord of lords, then would it make sense to say if there were two lord of lords, then one of them would have a lord that he wasnt the lord over?.
if the two lord of lords were equal, then they both would have a lord which doesnt make sense and contradicts the bible about god-jehovah being just one lord of lords.
If I were not a Christian, I would say "Jack Nickelson."

hello my friends .
well, i just wanted to share our special day with you guys too , because you folks have become close like family to us !
for mrs. flipper and myself being in our late 40's, early 50's, with all the challenges we had over the years before we met, being with the wrong people who took advantage of our kindness when we were both in other relationships , we truly do feel it is a miracle that her and i finally found each other later in life and found real happiness in a marriage.
Sincere congrads from MO!!
V
to a better place he needs out love more than ever now
They, both, will be in thought and prayer:
"God is a god of the living, not the dead"
Comforting words from a caring person.
In this Struggle with you all,
V
