Odd Nostalgia...?
by feenx inhappy friday everyone!!.
so in the course of working on a writing project i was doing some research last night on ye ol wtbs library (which no joke i have placed on my computer in a folder called "barf") and lo and behold, after getting tremendously frustrated that despite it's self advertised awesomeness i still couldn't find what i wanted, in a moment of haste i entered in my last name into the search, and poof all kinds of entries.. for whatever reason i had completely forgotten about my great uncle being mentioned, well at least as often as he is.. so i start reading some of the entries, and it's all talk about his missionary work.
and holy sh*t, i actually got a little nostalgic for the guy.

I must be in a devious mood....
by feenx inbecause it occured to me that it would be fantastic to mount a large email carpet bomb at ye ol wtbs.
(i actually did this once with a major corporation, and it worked) how fun would that be??
get a bunch of people and we all flood people's emails with whatever lovely tid bits of our love and admiration for their truly magical, some would say even delusional, organization of "truth.".

Active and/or Witnesses in good standing with the congregation: What brings you here?
by feenx ina question was posed on another thread whether or not those of us on this board who are no longer a part of the organization should be mindful of our words on this board so as not to upset any active witnesses.
there are some, including myself, that feel there aren't really any active jw's on here.
those who are still in the organization that post here are usually looking to leave, or seeking opinions on how to handle fading away.. i would be very interested, with complete respect, hearing something from any active witness as to what draws them to this site.
