it's been a year now since the 14-year old died, but still there are people on our exjw forum trying to get more signatures before they send it in.. the original story is here:.
Thanks for the bump Snoozy...
Just moving the post back to the top one more time for the day....
The year mark of this tragic event would be a good time to be proactive and have this sent off.
This petition may/ may not do any good, but every little bit hopefully contributes to the overall effort...
thanks..

are there any people from these areas in texas?.
Hi Civics,
I used to live in Houston Texas from 1999 until just a few years ago. I was in the Galleria area right off Westheimer St. (between Hillcroft and Fountainview).
I do have 2 brothers who are living in Baytown, TX right now and one sister still in Houston.
I've moved to Central Illinois though at the moment. :-)
Take care,
Ron
this thread is actually not for me, but for others who have recently broke free from the jw org.. does anyone happen to know of good exit counselors out there for the witnesses??.
i was trying to get a list of a few, so any thoughts are appreciated.. .

will you be joining another forum or leaving it all behind?.
i took to heart simon's thread about moving on past the "ex-jw" phase and i've been spending less time at the computer.
it's comforting though, to come back on here occasionally and see how my cyber friends are doing.. so i'm glad there are options - i've noticed some familiar faces on new forums - there may be access to jwd in some form..... .....and there's a whole world out there!.
What's worked pretty well for me is to limit a bit my posting, but still post. I guess everyone's situation is different, but I do like my PC time---as long as it doesn't interfere with other important regular day to day things going on. People at first come to an ex jw board and post for either help or assistance in getting out of the jw org. and whatever that consists of. Then, it seems to develop more into a good place to post for all kinds of topics. Anyhow, I can't say that I would ever give up trying to keep the 'real truth' about the jw organization from being heard about. These boards are a place to do that and I plan doing it in moderation like everything else that I do these days. :-)

I really don't know if there could be a substitute for the original forum here. There were many reasons for its success---not even all of what is easy to identify easily. The posters of course were a big reason and also the fact that this was one of the original sites for information type like this. I realize there are many other reasons, but haven't tried to pinpoint them all.
There are also some new boards just starting up.
I try to mention from time to time that we do have a board here: http://exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com
Ours is a good site because of the positive nature of it. And we are trying to encourage more jw-related beliefs, teachings, research, and news items as well there for new and old to view.
This is a good time for people to choose the option that's best for them. I would encourage people explore and feel free to do what is best given their own situation whether it's staying here, moving to another site, cutting back on internet time, or posting on more than just one site.
i was just curious---.
i assume that there are active jws that visit here.. any idea on the percent that the board has?
does it just seem to be a very few or is it a substantial number?.
Ok.. gotcha..

Very interesting replies---thanks... Stilla---I hate to ask the obvious, but how could you be an elder still with all the information you know on the jw's? Once I found out about silentlambs and the 587 vs. 607 BCE date, that was enough for me. But then again, that's just me. :-) Reniaa---I always think a person should do what makes them happiest on their chosen path. I am just curious I guess if you believe the jws to still be the one and only 'truth' that the organization claims it to be? Rosalee---I agree with you. The term apostate to me has gotten way blown out of proportion. It just means a disagreement of doctrine really. Ron

Thanks undercover---
I am very aware of how jws are as I spent my first 29 years as one. Been free from them for over 10 years now and very glad.
I was just curious because I know a lot of jw beliefs and doctrine seem to be posted so I was interested if jws try to come on here to try to prove people wrong. Then again, I can imagine they wouldn't stick around for long if they did try to do it.
