grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.
i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.
my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.

i have finally reached the point where i can forget that i was ever involved with such a $!%* cult as jehovahs witnesses.
(a situation that has taken over 20 years to achieve).. this discussion board certainly helped in this process, and i want to thank everybody for their support over the time that i have been a member both of this site and the old www.jehovahs-witness.com website (where i used the acronym reefton jack).
it is now, though, time to move on with my life, so i will say my farewells to everybody.. bill .
Oh, Bungi Bill! I will miss you! Please feel free to stop and say hi and let us know how you are when you are passing through the JWN neighbourhood again.
If this is really good bye my friend, may each day be a day of joy and happiness for you and yours.
All the best!

we are madly in love with each other and she is in the process of being divorced.
let me make one thing clear i'm not the reason for the divorce.
she attempted to reconcile with him but to no avail.
Oh, sweet love... I remember it well... from many decades ago.
Let me say first, I believe in love and I am happy you both found it together. That's the easy part. The hard part is that she most likely will be shunned by old friends and family members, that is, unless you get inoculated with the JW germ as well. You will be love bombed. They will try to make you a JW drone too. What a feather in someone's cap, if they can get you studied with and baptized!
If you marry and have children, will you allow your child, if they have a bleeding disorder that the doctors say can be fixed with blood transfusions, to have one?
If you marry and have a hard time conceiving, will you go for IVF? JW's do not believe in it.
Do you like oral sex? JW's don't do it. Watch Tower bedroom rules.
If you marry and have children, will you want your wife and children to be away, not doing fun hobbies, but learning how to indoctrinate others into the JW cult?
If you marry, your JW wife is encouraged to speak out about her faith at every opportunity. How would that work for you if you are invited over to the boss's house for dinner?
If you really love her and marry and do not go to meetings or assemblys with her, she will be treated like she does not exist and that is even if she is a JW in good standing, as in not DF. If she marries you, she will be considered bad association, which means generally, given the cold shoulder at the KHall or people more or less just say hi and bye to her. If you marry and do go to meetings and assemblys with her, brothers will think they have a chance of a Bible study with you, ugh.
I think a great idea would be if you and her asked an Elder and wife to come visit, (or you go to their house) that you had some questions. (Heads up. JW's once baptized are not allowed to question anything! Or you will be disfellowshipped). Say you saw the Australian Royal Commission and that in 50 years, over 1000 known pedophiles were not reported to the Police. JW's are the same if not worse than the Catholics! How do you explain this?
Sorry for the long post.
Truly, all the best to you and her.

high speed rail (in china, anyway) is a railway that travels faster than 200 km/hour.
while other countries in europe and japan have developed high speed rail, china now has the largest network in the world, with both mainlines and connecting links often providing 300km/hour travel.
the network now comprises more than 16,000 km of dedicated track and another approx.

Wow. She made it to 95.
Such a beautiful, talented woman.
I liked her in "The Parent Trap", the first one with Haley Mills.

PS Why do people, such as JW's, think, because authoritative men tell them they won't die... they believe it? Hello. Everything living, dies. Zsa Zsa Gabor was a beautiful, talented woman too. She was born in 1917 and is still alive. We all have uniqueness and after a span of life, we die. That's it. Enjoy today. I almost got run over last night. I am enjoying today. All the best to each one of us! Life actually goes by too fast.
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
You were gone. You are back! Yay! Happy day!

IF in the future it is a requirement for any school that has children (minors) in it (think Theocratic Ministry SCHOOL) (kinda iffy with Watchtower STUDY but with a study of something you might tend to think students) that they might have to have a POLICE CHECK to make sure the adults are truly fine, individuals with upstanding morals, not PEDOPHILES.
It is October 2015 and all the naive (I was one) innocent's, believe the GB speaks for GOD and the faithful JW's will think, Oooohhh... changes again! We are soooo close to the Big A. It truly is just around the corner. I have heard that since the 1950's. ALL the old ones that told me that are DEAD.
So the GB has sent their warm Christian love and best wishes (fantasy thinking? What's with that?). The congregation now has to pick up the expenses (of course).
LoisLane... Now so happy and free. Life is truly wonderful out of WT.
someone named john free popped in on one of my posts at exmormon[dot]com and mentioned this website.
i have a lot of questions.
i never knew much about about the jw church.
Hello C-D,
Ancestry.com is a Mormon site. As a Mormon, do you get a cut rate?
My cousin was a Jack Mormon. Her husband was an Elder. She kept the booze under the kitchen sink and always had her coffee in the morning. When she died, she was dressed in a white gown and a bonnet with a veil that was drawn over her face as a bride waiting in death until her husband died so they could be together forever in heaven. Before she died, she could hardly stand the sight of her husband. Don't know how that marriage in heaven thingy is going to work out for her and him. (???)
Did you wear the magic underwear? I never knew that about the Mormon's otherwise I probably would have asked my cousin. She was given to sexy everything so I really doubt she wore them.
I would like to know about Mormon discipline of children. JDub children are expected to be quiet. For a child to fuss, is like showing that the parents have not taught the child correctly (as in they haven't completely broken their child's spirit yet). Is it normal to hear children howling from spankings given in the bathrooms at the Mormon Temple?
All the best to you in your life's journey.

just a feature request.
not necessary, however it's just a suggestion.. it'd be nice to have threaded conversations in the private message system so you can see what the person who replies to your message was replying to.. sometimes it's days between messages and you have to go back into your sent folder to find out what they're talking about for context.. just an idea..
SIMON: Would a Search name/word feature for PM's like we have for regular threads be at all possible?
Like you said, Cappy, sometimes it is days before someone replies to a PM and it gets lost amongst others.

i'm still amazed he said this when he was questioned by the rc in austraila.... if anyone is in any doubt that the gb are "full on in" then that statement he made just proves these gb guys are 100% captive to the concept that they are chosen by god to be guardians of the galaxy er i mean doctrine.
.
these guys actual think, 100%, they are anointed and chosen by god to run his physical organisation on earth and that they will indeed co-rule in heaven with jc...geoffrey wants to chat to jc about the inadequate child abuse policies that the wt have since jc actually runs the show from heaven.. the gb are not master criminals or intelligent people who know how to dupe people or trick them, they fully believe 100% the bull they preach.. mental..
What I think doesn't really matter except to me but my 2 cents is the GB are sociopaths and so are their kiss up helpers. They are only interested in power, status, and soon living in their lakeside estate like big shots.
They want all your money, before death and after. Greedy.
You have to do what they say even though this Big Boys Club (GB) keep moving the 'goal' post. Arrogant.
They allow pedophiles to roam freely in amongst others who are unknowing. They honestly do not care about the victims. Unfeeling, EVIL bastards.
The GB lie but they don't get DF for it. Hypocrites!
-----> During the ARC, I felt Geoffrey was having his own brand of fun telling them he 'hoped' to talk to Jesus. Unbalanced, delusional, old fashioned, unscientific.
Side question: Geoffrey Jackson as an accepted anointed one, does he not know when he and his other anointed GB members point fingers at all the people they point at and call loony for partaking, that they all have fingers pointing back at themselves? lol
