wondering if simon or anyone else have statistics for this site?i.e.
how many users are there?
how many posts have ever been made?perhaps a graph showing how many users there were at a given time?
What about just a straight up membership count Simon. Would that number be something you have quick access to and/or are willing to share?
I know the vast majority of those would be inactive, but it'd be nice to know just how many have signed up here throughout the years.
many of you don't know me or won't remember me.
i left the jw's and my husband and my home last september - forging a new life in a new town.
i haven't posted here for many months, but have been reading most days.
Happy Birthday LifesNotOver!!!!!.. good to hear from you again.
the governing body of jws claim without any justification that they alone are holders of a sacred key to divine knowledge and that their history indicates appointment by the almighty creator with the job of giving the world of their privileged information, especially on the time of the biblical “last days.” .
ok they use bible illustrations to explain this with the idea that the “master” has “domestics” who are fed by them but this is always a matter in contention.
they think the illustration is important but can never get a handle on who is who and when it is.
Amen!
so a user named "the-question" said the jw's were right about 607 bce.. this is your chance brother to prove us all wrong.. we all can't wait to hear from you :).
Redvip2000: Why did we ever believe this stupidity? If this god was really loving an had a brain larger than a peanut, he would simply say " Hey, the last days will start in 1914", and with such a simple statement, thousands of hours of wasteful debate, doubts, and incredulity would be avoided.
I ask myself the same thing everyday. I believed this BS for 30 years of my life. I'm ashamed.
as you can see from my profile, i'm from the uk and was brought up in the truth.. how about some introductions from people ?
FYI, everyone, this is a 17 year old thread. One of the first started by Simon. I just found it so strange to see his (and other's) JW side back in the day.

I think the Question was banned from the forums for trolling.

Holy $h!t, Simon really thought this was datruf at one point!!! I'm too much of a newbie to even imagine this lol
to all on this site who from their hearts participate, thank you.
you encourage thought, offer support and share laughs, thank you.
you may never know what point has touched a heart or opened a mind.
Indeed, it's wonderful to have a community to turn to when leaving this religion. Makes the pain a bit more tolerable.
I was just reading through some of the early threads on this forum from 17 years ago and it really is amazing to see how this community as a whole has come so far.
first off, i am so happy that " tomo iii" is catching.
i dont know who said it first, but it's awesome.. i want to see him at a rc and say, " yo!!
