Facebook search "Charles Manson" -- now he thinks I'm a friend?
by FatFreek 2005 inno, i haven't really done that one but i've thought of searching for several acquaintances from kingdom halls years ago but not if they become aware that i've looked them up.
i don't want facebook to announce to these folks that "fatfreek wants to be your friend".
i don't want to appear to be boot licking -- i'm simply curious.. as far as i know i'm as anonymous as one can be on facebook but that may be my naivette showing through.. what say you facebookers?.

Need to Get Away - Roadtrip Suggestions
by chron82 inso it's really happened... all of my friends have been shunning me for a few months now and while it has saddened me deeply, i've been able to endure it.
but just this weekend my own mother told me that she messed up with me and that i am going to die because i am speaking against the organization... that's a tough pill to swallow.. i was naive like many others in the beginning.
i thought if i came out the right way, for moral and conscientious reasons, that maybe.... just maybe they would respect my decision.

Update: part 2, elder's counsel to mom to quit "bad association"
by Coffee House Girl inwell because i knew the questions would be the same on saturday as they were friday i was even more prepared.
my mom has this pattern of repeating the same questions over and over again...she will leave it for a few hours & then she will cycle them over again, but then ask more detail.. so saturday she calls me before i leave for home and now she is backpedalling her story.
she tells me that the elder's never said that they were going to disfellowship me, they just were counseling her that she should no longer be associating with me because i am bad association and have been seen with "him" (again with the him) and that his car has been seen parked there all the time.

These are good people
by Retrovirus inin my introductory post i told about the jws that have been visiting me at my sil's request.
at first i spoke with them for her sake, then found i liked them anyway.
what i didn't like was the literature, especially the stuff trying to disprove evolution.

Could you live without the internet ?
by Hairyhegoat inwell i don't think me and my family could for even 1 day.
was thinking of moving from sky but when we found out about our data usage i was shocked.
we use over 80gb per month and we have unlimited package with sky.. we were advised another isp may restrict over a certain level so you best stay with us as we value your account... .

Experience about a elder who put Jehovah ahead of his family
by life is to short ini posted a thread yesterday about my elder husband putting the publishing plant first, and i was reminded that not all elders do that.
that is very true, i know that and i pointed it out to my husband many times though it did not good.
but the elders are told over and over to the brog first and it reminded me of an experience that they had at the last dc i went to in 2009.. they had a family on the stage the husband was an elder of course, they had i believe three kids if not four.
