  Flawed Website

  by pinkpizza in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first seen this website i actually thought it was a jw website hence the home page and not an ex jw website and i posted a topic thinking people were real witnesses then i quickly discovered it was not and all these people were commenting and embarrassing me and i couldn’t even delete the thread.

  then i asked the admin to delete it and i said it was very misleading saying it’s a jw page and he’s like are you serious i deleted your topic and now you are attacking me and it clearly says ex jw page.

  he was very rude and btw no where does it say ex jw and you should be able to delete your own threads you start.

  hi, this is my long overdue introduction.

  i’ve been visiting this site since probably around 2011. in that time, i’ve taken a lot from these discussions and never contributed anything.

  i’m not sure that i have much to contribute these days because i just don’t pay too much attention to wt land.

  Hey!welcome to the forum.

  I dont contribute much either as I am so far away from the borg. I come here for updates on Jdub lunacy and where i can offer support, share stories etc.

  This is also the only place on the world where I am around people who understand how it was for me growing up!

  Its a great site.

  Library now cleared out

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.

  during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.

  i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

  Ahhb the Kingdom Hall library.

  Its my favourite room. The room that set me free. The room that will forever hold a special place in my heart. The room where I was disfellowshiped!

  In the UK bankruptcy dosent protect you from court fines and criminal compensation. Im assuming it does in the USA?

  I wouldnt at all be suprised to see the borg so this.

  My JW-Related Musical Experiences

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  looking back over my life, the only thing that i can say i truly enjoyed as a jw was meeting and becoming friends with a number of jws who were fine musicians and had experienced various measures of success in what used to be called the "music business.

  tommy reynolds, from the vocal group hamilton, joe frank & reynolds ("don't pull your love out on me, baby" and "baby, baby, fallin' in love, i'm fallin' in love again") recruited me to play drums in his dallas circuit assembly orchestra in the 1970s.

  in 1977, i became friends with legendary jazz composer/arranger/band leader benny golson, whose life story appeared in the oct. 8, 1980 awake, and who appeared opposite tom hanks in steven spielberg's "the terminal.
