I haven't seen anyone from any ministry in my area since I moved here 3 years ago.... granted the nearest KH is 30km away (dont ask me to convert that to miles- my place is a good 30 minute drive out of town and over a river into a different little town away)..... it's been blissful really :)

Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?
by minimus ini used to always see them preaching.
now, it seems as though they rarely are around.
the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

The Secret You- The Search For Consciousness. How do we know who we are?
by whereami inwith the help of a hammer-wielding scientist, jennifer aniston and a general anaesthetic, professor marcus du sautoy goes in search of answers to one of science's greatest mysteries: how do we know who we are?
while the thoughts that make us feel as though we know ourselves are easy to experience, they are notoriously difficult to explain.
so, in order to find out where they come from, marcus subjects himself to a series of probing experiments.. .

I thought it was a very honest approach to studing human consciousness, the science methods used were facinating.......
The bit I found most interesting was where the scans showed what he would do 6 seconds before he made the choice- I wonder if given more time to choose what the results would look like and if they would be as accurate.....
I have myself wondered- where do 'I' go when 'I' am asleep? and if 'I' go nowhere, why do 'I' remember my dreams?
Great documentary.... I give it a big

Calling Kiwi Shepards your assistance is needed.
by fadinfast init is well known "kiwi shepard's" are some of the best at handling/sorting/counting [we wont mention breeding] sheep and the gb could do with your help.
you see they are loosing sheep, they have wolfs in sheep clothing, they have sheep in wolfs clothing, disobedient sheep, rebellious sheep, questioning sheep, uncooperative sheep, black sheep, grey sheep, swinging sheep, thinking of going sheep, halfway gone sheep, f.a.d.e.ing sheep, goooooooooone sheep!
as you can see the problem requires much expertise, so name your own price, plenty of money in the kitty!.

Keeping my shields up is wearing me out
by Evidently Apostate insometimes i find myself carefully monitering a persons body language, whatching for instinctive reactions listening carefully to thier words.
just jws and some extended family, and almost anyone i do business with.
not out of fear but to find out if there is a selfish motive or agenda.

It's good to stay aware of whats happening around you... especially with people.. most of what we say is in our body language, thats how I can tell if my kids are lying to me or not LOL
All my boys (husband included), smile at one side of their mouths when they are lying, and they look away and dont make eye contact when they're spinning me a story......
Dont get too paranoid, but dont get to complacent either.....

Pirata, your post said it all for me.... they came to my house to 'witness' at a time in my life when I was vulnerable. I had a very close call with death during childbirth with my second son and I had questions... lots of them.....
Band on the Run (great name by the way)- not everyone here is an ex witness... and welcome to the board

Happy New Year to all Great to see you xxx
I have missed this place, and I am noticing the cycles.... I guess some of us come here at a time in our lives when we NEED JWN (thanks so much to deticated people who keep it going), some of us float back and forth, and others 'bless them' are here almost every day to help people who are or were newbies like me find their way through...
For those who dont know me, I studied to become a JW in 2007-08 for almost 18 months... I was keen and eager to learn as much as I could and read more WT and Awakes than I ever wish too ever again.... I left quite abruptly when I learned the truth about the truth.... long story with a great result- I got the heck outta there
I've been full cycle since joining here; I've been shocked, I've gotten angry... ok, very angry at times, I've spoken my piece and had some interesting debates here about issues... these days Iam happy to agree to disagree.
My current religious status is- I'am not religious, but very open to spirituality and the sacred (still a Deist of sorts). I have a busy life, full of kids, pets, husband, study and enjoying almost every minute of it!
............. Well thats me in nutshell..............
How are you???

Favorite quote from 2011 School for Ministerial Servants
by iamwhoiam in"let's see a show of hands of those who know that the end is very close (everyone raises thier hands while looking around at each other).
excellent!...we know this because we have a whole-hearted faith in the faithful and discreet slave don't we?".
no explanation needed .
