i got to meet some real live jwn posters tonight, they stopped here and we met for dinner.
i was nervous about it, but they are a lovely couple, very intelligent and fun.
i am sure i talked too much, it was all so interesting -- swapping stories about our jw histories and how we got out and what we're all doing now.
Hortensia,
Please be careful!
Did this couple have a small cute mammal with them?
If so, beware!!! It's a scam!
These people very recently plied us with wine, while their "stud" seduced our cat (they're not even the same species...disgraceful!!!).
This "creature" even ate her food, and drank her water!
They pretend to be a "lovely couple", so that their "beast" can take advantage of your pet.
on my morning commute today in a residential area, there was an suv driving in the same lane i was in, but about a block ahead of me.
the suv pulls over just past a bus stop where a young lady is already waiting for a bus.
the suv lets off a passenger who starts walking back to the bus stop.. .
I definitely didn't object to time wasting witnessing toward the end. I would also "place" magazines in the garbage and count them as placements. Probably, should have at least recycled them!

"What a complete waste of time, gas and energy".
Even when I was "in", I thought about that a lot. I've often wondered if someone did a comparative study of the different religions' carbon footprints, what would they find?
My guess is the JW's would be on or very near the worst. Just think of all the paper products, toxic printing chemicals, fuel used driving in f.s. and driving to assemblies and conventions.
The Watchtower likes to point their finger at the rest of religions grand buildings in a negative way, but these buildings generally last for hundreds of years. On the other hand, your average Watchtower building is either remodeled or replaced every 15-20!

unless they get another extension, or armageddon comes first..
I hate all this suspense!
the year once 1983 and the brother who use to study the bible with me drove by and had a full on "charles manson" looking facial hair and beard.
i asked tina, a friend what's up with him?
tina was 19 and a hot red-head woman who was partially in the religion but had problems with fornication.
My wife likes my facial hair (except when it's at the "sandpaper" stage).
It's an outward symbol of my non-dedication to the Watchtower Corp..
It freaks many Watchtowerites out.
No more ingrown hairs.
Warm face in the wintertime.
As has been mentioned already...because I can!
i was 8 when my mom brought us into the jw's.
i am in my late 30's now.
many knew me from school.
Very brave Renee!!!
hi guys.
richard e. kelly has kindly contributed a great article to jwsurvey.org on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/child-abuse-2/bo-juel-jensen-could-he-be-watchtowers-worst-nightmare.
richard tells the story of bo juel jensen, an ex-witness who has been doing marvellous work in raising awareness of watchtower child abuse mishandling in norway.. as with most child abuse victims, bo's story is a disturbing one.
Thank you "DonJuel"! What you are doing is very important. Plus, as my wife pointed out you are very photogenic. Articulate in English too (I assume that you kick ass in Norwegian!)... I suppose that they are both important.

I think that what you are doing is very important.
Even though for the most part these watchtower documents are boring as hell, making them public is a real blow to their hold over people. If nothing else it's a symbol of their loss of power due to the internet.
Of course, there are gems that are not boring, like the October 1 letter...
A very, very warm thank you to any and all who are involved in this!
jw leaks has published the latest court documents, in pdf, relating to "candace conti v the watchtower bible and tract society of new york" as filed on november 16, 2012.. the watchtower society motion to substitute or reduce bond on appeal is denied.. www.jwleaks.org.

Yesssssss!
what did you decide to do?.
leave with a bang, trying to educate those around you before leaving?
perhaps writing letters to others forgiving/ asking for forgiveness.. or.
We talked about a long slow goodbuy...ended up going cold turkey. From regular 10 hour+ publishers to nada!
