  Gilead meals. Everyone kicks off work 15 minutes early, goes up to the table heads room, knocks back a few drinks and some crackers and we all make it down the stars somehow without falling for a rushed, slam the food back Bethel meal of steak. Then all stand up to pray and back at work by 1.

  That was a Bethelite idea of a party!!

  Gives me indigestion now.

  Hey Morph. I was at Wall kill during the time you were in Bklyn. Laundry down there was renowned as a rough job. Always great to hear about fellow slaves that escaped. BTW top floor of the Squib buildings was......

  FURNITURE STORAGE.

  Yep. Million dollar real estate used for office furniture storage. After Patterson was built they never really filled up those 25-30 buildings.

  And I never made it to CBGBS but did make it to Limelight once. Wow the missed opportunities!

  To your freedom day Done4! Feels like a lifetime ago and yet very everpresent- yes??

  My freedom day was Memorial 2007. I knew then that it was over. I feel more and more alive and awake every day.

  Salute!

  Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?

  your thoughts please..

  Walked away 8 years ago. Never was acted against by the org. My family asks what my "status" is. I reject the premise. I have no status. I don't acknowledge their power to count or uncount me as a member.

  A three way win-win-win deal. Parks on the piers, residential development to cove cost of the parks, jw's get serious money for industrial property rezoned as residential. And I think there was a timeline to the deal.

  2. scandals

  the jws at the time in germany where considered part of the aryan race, (since they were not jews).

  then things changed for the jws after rutherford mailed a letter to hitler bragging about jehovahs kingdom on earth.. so can we add this to the bloodshed that that the watchtower corp is responsible for?.

  Thank you for this. As usual there is so much more than the tales we've been told.

  Any idea what the symbolism of the purple triangle is about?

  They've said it to me. I don't have it in me to break their hearts and tell them that Jehovah- like Zeus- is just a good story. I just smile and say, "I'm fine. Thank you so much for your concern."
