  Welcome StuckinaRut. Great to see you here (and all the other newbies that have said hi on this upbeat thread). Will look forward to reading more about your story to the extent you wish to share. Some great advice on here already. I'll just echo something already mentioned that helped me stay sane during while building up to my protracted fade....make plenty of non JW friends - there are some fantastic genuine lovely people in this world - good friends will make the transition so much easier however and whenever it comes.

  Take care x

  so i faded over a year ago...i told the elders that if i needed them i would call them.

  1 year and 3 months later, today, i get a call from an elder who used to be my good friend...he calls and i dont pick up..he leaves a voicemail, saying "hello ____, please call me back at 444-444-4444 whenever you can".

  i was like wow, this has to be one of those calls to get inactive ones back to the memorial.

  it was a night flight so I guess many of the passengers would have been sleeping. Latest thought on BBC tonight, which they alleged came from a credible source, was that the plane flew south til it ran out of fuel and ditched in the ocean west of Australia. We'll see...(or maybe we won't)

  On BBC Newsnight a few minutes ago they mentioned that the FBI obviously know more than they are making public at the moment but they appear to believe the plane flew South until it ran out of fuel west of Australia. Even if true, we still don't know why yet

  in pharell's song "happy" there's a line that says "cause happiness is the truth".

  how many times do you think that line has been used in a comment or a talk by now?.

  as bro.

  July 2014 WT says cremation is okay, such double standards!

  is cremation proper for christians?the scriptures do not present any basic objection to the practice of cremation.. there are biblical accounts relating that the bodies or bones of dead people were burned.

  is anyone here following what is happening with the trial in south africa.

  what are your thoughts?

  how are the media handling this?

  One thing I've learned is things portrayed in the media are rarely what they seem. Only one person knows what truly happened and that's Pistorious. Glad I'm not the one that has to judge - potentially someone innocent of murder being locked away for life or someone guilty of premeditated murder getting away lightly.

  New Article on JW.org about gay people

  by ateograciasadios in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, sometimes i go to jw.org just to laugh a bit about the 'food at the proper time', and i would like to know what people think of this hillarious article 'am i attracted to the same sex.

  does that mean i am gay?'.

  this has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of logic (last paragraph of the article).. the bibles stand is not unreasonable.

  This is an older article (I think two or three years old) reposted on website. yes all very politically correct compared to their stance up to the early nineties when you were told to report to an elder if you thought you might be gay. some if their early 70s articles on the topic are so way off it's almost funny until you realise what psychogical effect they must have had on gay bros and sisters at the time.

  from time to time my commute on the bqe takes me past the old brooklyn properties.

  many of which stand now sans advertising.

  soon the watchtower sign will be gone altogether.

  My mum said, on the subject of UK bethel moving to Essex, that the SocieTy are moving from the cities because they figure if any disaster happens it's most likely to affect the cities. not sure whether she got this from any official source or whether it's just her supposition but does seem to fit the stereotypical cult strategy.
