Some People Enjoy Being Jehovah's Witnesses For Various Reasons
by minimus insome individuals truly enjoy being jehovah's witnesses.
i think about those that would have liked to be in acting.
well, having a part in a demonstration in the service meeting or giving a talk in the theocratic ministry school gives one the opportunity to act, be melodramatic, show a little comedic talent,etc.

Do You Clearly Understand That "The Truth" Is Nothing But Bullcrap?
by minimus inwhat a waste of living being "in the truth" was!
sometimes i see persons suggesting that the witness religion isn't all so wrong.
actually they suggest that they themselves are the issue.

I hope you and your team are satisfied, now, min.
But....have you never been hypocritical in some threads you've started?
Such self-righteousness is deemeaning.
Over.

Just a PRUDENT Reminder in These Days of Rampant Forums
by BabaYaga inthere have been countless "new forums" set up in the panic of the past few days.
i, personally, am concerned for those i care about here.
as a precaution first of all, do not join a forum hosted by anyone you do not know or have good reason to trust.

does anyone know if amama2six is legit?
A good question.
How could we tell? amama2six joined JWD only a month ago shortly before the incursion by the nasties. What i see is someone who has progressed from being very much a novice on a db to someone who overnight produced a new board with all its bells and whistles. Work it out yourself.
I'm intrigued how someone with six underage kids has so much time these days. Are they getting fed?
Would it be possible, do you think, for more than one person to be sharing the account? I dunno.
Like I say, work it out yourself.

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs
by Simon ini'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.

Simon;
Yep, I tend to agree with you. Of course that's in general terms - I realise there are exceptions.
I really wonder whether a lot of the posters we have seen on JWD who like to think of themselves as exJW are simply lapsed dubs?
We've probably met many people in 'real life' are known as lapsed catholics - are they any more 'ex' than are many folk we've encountered here?

HS said:
These people need professional help and I would suggest that these boards rather than helping them, actually add to their emotional issues.
It's an interesting observation, one that I hadn't thought about but I do find it an appealing one. In other words, these boards can actually feed their anger, further entrenching their characterisation as an exJW. Or rather that should simply be a lapsed JW?

I'll Bet Many Won't Know What To Do Without JWD
by minimus inafter coming here almost every day for years, it will be bewildering to have no jwd.
and the truth is, there are other places that will pop up in the years to come but i doubt very much anything will be of this magnitude in regard to assisting others out of the organization.. i think if any are so inclined, they should make their emails available so as to make further contact with our cyber friends.. well now, i'm sure a lot of lurkers are kicking themselves for not joining here.
too late!

Last topic, ending on a good note.
by wanderlustguy inwow, today has been killer.
this morning started with a bit of drama...but by the middle of the day, i was in shock, in a great way.. yesterday i got a call to fix the paint on an rv, so i dropped everything and went there...frankly because my kids are here and i need the money to have food...yea...that tight.
those jobs usually pay cash.. i did the job, and got offered another one...working for the guy's company which he owns outright.. it's a movie production company and i'm working on-set for a stupid amount of money i still can't believe until i get the first check.

Regarding Simon's Announcement
by AK - Jeff inwe have known behind the scenes for a time that this was being considered, obviously.
i just want to express my personal appreciation for what simon and angharad have done here on jwd.
i found jwd just a few months after leaving the organization, and kind of believing that i was pretty alone in the world at the time.

Well, Jeff, your thread didn't stay on-topic for long, eh?
