  I wish I had a picture of my first. It was a 1938 chevy 2 door before automatics were out.

  Ok, so there is a gap in my reasoning ... but that's a good thing

  i was going to post a 'welcome' message for all the new people who may have got a computer for christmas and are making their first forray into the online world.. of course, not many jws are going to be getting a computer or much else for christmas right?.

  kinda-strange for me to forget about such a big thing like that eh?!

  it's pretty good though to have moved on so that the jw indoctrinated mindset isn't the first thing that springs to mind.. hope you're all having a great christmas and wherever you are in the recovery process that you feel a little bit better today than you did yesterday, more free and relaxed than you did last year and looking forward to your new life in 2011.. there's going to be lots of changes coming for this site hopefully in the next week or so and probably continuing over the next year.

  do you miss anything from when you were a jw?

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of my friends who also used to be jw's, say they miss certain things abt it...i can honestly say that i don't miss a single thing (my sister obviously who's still in but nothing else).. before i could sometimes miss having such a strong belief but that's also gone.

  i guess i've moved on big time.

  Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".

  she's an intelligent woman.

  however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

  I,m never happy to see anyone die. Sometimes relieved when someone especially a loved one is suffering and in a lot of pain.

  Has a local needs talk been given about you?

  by Jadeen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was briefly mentioned in one of miseryloveselders threads, but i had the honor of a local needs talk pointed at me.

  shortly before i got married to my "worldly" husband there was a talk about "marrying only in the lord", "do not become unevenly yoked", blah blah blah.. i wasn't shocked that it was given, i was actually waiting to hear about it.

  i was more surprised that they waited until about a month before our wedding day to give it.

  I was a special needs talk many years ago when I left.

  But more recent I was the subject at my fathers funeral, the major part of the discourse was about the prodigal son.

  All non- JW's were truly disgusted as nothing was said in honor of my father. The talk was given by the CO.

  Why did "Back Calls" change to "Return Visits"?

  by donuthole in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone remember the rationale that was used in rebranding "back calls" as "return visits"?.

  while on the subject does anyone else remember any theocratic name changes like,.

  district assembly to district convention.

  i stopped whilst still an active witness, just cancelled my direct debit and told myself i would put money in the box to cover things like literatrash and heat and light sometimes, and sometimes i did , but that dropped off.. the thing is, i cannot really pin down what my motive was at the time, i still thought then that it was god's org.. but i just stopped giving them money.

  why ?
