  He'll never be president, but he'll never have an enemy either.

  This line really stuck out to me. Don't know why, maybe it's because we to equate "happiness" or "success" with things that aren't really true indicators of happiness or success.

  When we have something happen in our families that is out of the ordinary we realise that it's the little things that matter most - that our kids are safe and happy, that we have a loving mate, that values such as compassion and patience mean much more than cars or holidays.

  i am questioning whether the internet is a good place to hang out.

  last month i was scammed by an impostor who took advantage of me while i was depressed and vulnerable.

  even this discussion board has become very vicious lately.

  I tend not to read the homosexual threads so maybe I've missed something, I don't know... I haven't seen that much hostility on the board recently, things are alot quieter these days compared to previous times.

  Swan, if you saw things that you felt went against the forum's guidelines, did you contact Simon or any of the moderators?

  the following is a link to a slideshow prepared as a tribute to the military men and women protecting their country.

  yes it is focused on the us military.

  this is not about iraq or whether or not you like the usa.

  Propaganda is still propaganda, whether it's propaganda for the Reds, America or JWs.

  Calling this constant barrage of nationalistic propaganda for what it is doesn't mean I don't support the troops. You who have never lived in a different country would not understand how it looks to those of us who are looking in.

  BTW, Aussie troops have been in Iraq, in fact Australia was one of the first countries to support Bush in his plan to "liberate" Iraq. One Aussie soldier has died too.

  in the last couple of days ive been reading info on the un & wts ...so have been pretty absorbed with the amount of info out there on the wts...

  anyway...it hasnt been that long since i left the wts...and a close friend of mine (never a witness) said to me ,twice now, and rather strongly again today...

  "its over, you have left, get over it...your obsessed with this, who cares, just get over it before it drives you mad...its really pathetic"

  Lady Lee, thanks for posting Jan's information. She was a wealth of not just information, but compassion and understanding. It's so sad that she's no longer with us, but I'm glad to know that her info is still online. At the time of her death, we were worried that all that information on cults she had gathered would have been lost forever.

  RIP Jan

  Sens - when you start learning this information about the WTS, there is a tendency to overload yourself on information. I remember when I first recieved the COC book, I just couldn't put it down. No matter how tired or busy I was, I had to read it. Plus I was on sites like this one, trying to adjust my mind around all that I had been learning.

  My advice would be to deal with one subject at a time, to allow your mind and emotions to absorb what you have read. I know how overpowering all this can feel. But as the information that Lady Lee posted says, it takes time to heal from life as a JW. Allow yourself time to grow and adjust to non-JW life.

  If you watched the slideshow you would see it also referenced WW2. Or are you against the US involvement in that war too.

  Well, considering that the US only got involved right at the end of the whole show....

  Uzzah, posting a thread like this is only going to start another debate about America's involvement in Iraq etc. It's a topic that's been beaten to death.

  Also, we who live in countries outside of America and Canada can spot nationalistic propaganda more readily. We're not exposed to it as much, so whilst an American might see it as "supporting the troops", it comes across to us as "yet another piece of American propaganda".

  Propaganda exists not only in JW world but also life in general.
