Awesome! Does it have Asteroids? Are you a freelancing illustator, working from home, sacolton? If so, I bet you won't get much work done for a while.

Were You Skeptical of "the Annointed Ones" in Your Congregation?
by BabaYaga insorry in advance to all of the ones on this forum now, who partook while jw.
i have to say that in my experience, having known personally several who were "of the annointed", most were absolutely dingy.
the only exception was the little ancient gal who had attended the early convention where all attendees were "annointed" en masse!

Yep; I, and others, were skeptical about the one in our congregation. But it didn't bother me. If she was, she was, and if she wasn't it didn't make any difference to me as they don't have any authority in the congregation anyway - just a measure of prestige. She was a little strange.

LOL @ St-Jacques. Just bear in mind that as soon as you add anyone as your "friend" on Facebook, by default they can see everything in your profile, includig to which groups you belong. If anonymity is important then think carefully before putting anti-JW sentiments on there.

A human gradually coming to terms with the ultimate simplicity of his humanity, who knows it will be okay, is starting to enjoy perfectly natural human things, has a desire for honesty and who can be rather vague at times.

Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary!
by Princess Daisy Boo inso 8 years ago this time, i was running around in a mad rush - hairdressers and make up and flowers and so on.
the wedding was gorgeous.
somehow, by some miracle, we managed not to totally piss off either of our families (nic - of a catholic/anglican background and me of a jw background).

Could it happen here?
by BurnTheShips inthis thread, and others like it, got me thinking that, if this board is representative of society, there is definitely an anti-theist wind blowing in western nations, much more so in europe than here in the united states.
could it happen here as it happened there?.
from edward j. derwinski "religious persecution in the soviet union - transcript".

I'm sure anti-religious feeling will continue to grow, but I hope as knowledge becomes ever more easily accessible here in the UK and the general consensus moves towared atheism, theism will die a natural death. If religion was to be forcibally targeted as a whole, I guess it would only encourage people to take up the cause.
Disallow something and people do it. A big part of JW'ism, for example, is the feeling that the world is out to get you. -

3 a.m. - my wife is in tears! What do I do?
by The Scotsman inwell my situation has developed a bit, any advice appreciated.. their has been a gradual building up of pressure ever since i stood down as an elder about 6 months ago.. i have been telling my wife about my doubts but have continued to attend "some" meetings.. as time has progressed i have become more open with my criticism of the org.. i mentioned the un scandal, molestation trials, false prophecy ect etc.. interestingly she does not deny these facts and yet still wants to continue as a jw.. i told her that god is not happy with people knowingly being part of a false prophet (deut 18 - etc) - starting to lay the groundwork for my exit.. she appreciates the difficult situation doubters are in - they cannot openly express their feelings for fear of jcs.. anyway, a few weeks ago we moved house which meant changing congregation.. but i felt it would be best if i did not attend meetings " at all" at the new cong so my fade could be easier.. but i could not have predicted my wifes response - when i told her it was an explosion of emotion, i mean real heartbreaker stuff.. she seems depressed at the prospect, perhaps the reality is finally hitting home.. last night, about 3a.m.
i noticed that she was not in bed.
i went downstairs and she was sobbing away to herself.. "i can't go to that hall myself!
