by dawg ini just recived an e-mail from an active jw friend of mine, he was replying to the utube e-mail i sent him on the molestation cover ups.
he knows the jw are shite, but he's conflicted becasue all his family is still in.

Question on fading
by ldrnomo inmy wife and i have been staying away from meetings for almost a year now and i was wondering what everyone thinks about taking the next step, which would be going to another kh out of the circuit the cong we went to is in and having the publisher cards sent there and then going for two or three times to the new cong and then just stop.
we are thinking that will give the elders an out because they can get rid of our inactive cards and the next cong won't know us that well so won't really care.. as a former elder and po, we are well known in the area we live so many in the area are wondering what's going on with us and if we go to another cong.
that might make them feel more settled.

Any Old TImers remember Awake (early 1960's) saying JW's could vote ?
by ShirleyW inb-deserters post reminded me of something that was posted quite some time ago, matter of fact, it could've been posted on tishies board, if some of us here remember her website.
a poster on her website quoted the exact date of an awake magazine going back to the early 1960's which clearly stated that jw's could vote if they wanted to, conscious was not mentioned in the article !!.
i went down to my mother's basement, looked up the exact date that was mentioned, and sure enough there it was in plain black and white, jw's had the vote!!

This time, I'm REALLY leaving..............................
by Warlock ini'm really sick and tired.. yes, sick and tired of the weirdos, sickos, the mentally ill that need to be institutionalized for their own good, the homeless, the beggars, the drug addicts, the free clinic waiting rooms full of sick people who could be carrying tb and the like.. so i quit my job, and i'm starting a new one tomorrow.
i'm leaving one job for another.. actually, seeing all those things was too painful after a while.. what, you think i was leaving jwd?.
