or should i say goodbye folks.

my posting days on xjw sites are over.. thanks to everybody for making this place so vibrant, informative and at times invigorating.

an special thanks of course to simon and angharad, of whom too many expected too much and who, despite our differing viewpoints at times, have been trustworthy friends to me.

Was There Any 1 Thread or Post or Subject That REALLY Got You Thinking???
by minimus in

for me, i was attracted to concrete proofs, facts, published information that showed conclusively the errors of the watchtower.

i love seeing posts that prove the watchtower's hypocrisy.

i very much enjoyed reading anything historical from pre-bible students time to the present day.

what would you think
by John Doe in
1. jw

of this concept for a forum.

seems to me that the driving force behind a lot of bitching at this place is being banned by moderators.

what would you think of a forum where reputations are earned through a point system, and if enough negative rep was earned an automatic banning took place?

GOLD ! So Pretty & Sparkling...
by Rabbit in

luckily the un is 'on the job' , plus other countries and big gold trading companies have formed 'investigating' commitees to look into any nasty accusations of dangerous child labor.

and...good news !

they didn't 'see' any problems.... reading this story, i realized the truth of the old sage, "walk a mile hundred miles in another mans shoes little boys flip-flops.".

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs
by Simon in
1. jw
2. friends
i've had this theory for some time and alluded to it occassionally but have never explored it in detail.. it is of course a huge generalisation so no, not everyone will fit into the boxes and i'd like people's opinion.

i don't know everyone's circumstances so it's based on a small sample of some of those i do know something about.

it could be completely wrong, it's just an idea.. basically, i have seen a difference between some of those ex-jws who walked out vs those who were kicked out.. the most bitter and obsessive seem to be the kicked out and, i must add, those who were legitimately kicked out.

H2O remains an option
by Marvin Shilmer in
1. jw
2. friends
many of old timers here migrated from a web forum known as h2o.

when that site had to close down the concerns recently raised here were raised then, by the old h2o group.

jwd was to a large extent the beneficiary of that group's migration.

Tell Simon why we want JWD to stay... our apprecaition...
by burningbridges in
1. forum
2. announcements
ok, i'll start, maybe if we can all tell simon our reason why this site means so much to us he will reconsider and leave it here.

this site has given me the courage to speak out.

i used to be ashamed of my history with the witnesses.
