So frustrating though that they wont see that it is because they treat someone like crap, they will just go home to their families and say that they are being persecuted.

Boss comes to aid of shunned worker
by WTLies inon my wife's job, she is one of about 10 jw's employed there.
recently one of them found out the assistant manager (who never told anyone she was ever a jw) was raised a jw and has been disfellowshipped for the last 10 years.
needless to say this news spread quickly amongst the jw's there, and of course they all started shunning this person.

Sounds like a great idea and as Gumby says why worry about being diss'd when we are not part of the org anymore, we can do what we want. Whos gonna look stupid us or them !

" ..on page 6 this was some of what was listed as "some helpful bible principles".
"love... does not look for its own interests.

I think a list should be made for all the crap they used to feed us when we were in, we should have like a central database or website called jwcrap.com

Thats really interesting. There are a lot of theories out there with ghosts appearing in pics. I have taken a couple with them in, one was when I was at the Police training college, the main building was an old assylum (typical) and a pic when zoomed in had the face of a woman in the window (could of been reflection of a tree though) but I also took some at Dover Castle (very haunted) and I have a digital camera now, on one of the pics there is a big white apparition, you cant really see much past it but it appears to be floating and you cant make out what it is.
Some say that these things are always going on but the human eye can not pick it up, when you take a pic it freezes time and that moment.

Funny screenshot from MINI website
by Jourles ina couple days ago, i was browsing the mini website checking out the new cooper s. today, i woke up the computer i was using to view their website and noticed that i didn't close out my browser session.
at first glance, i thought my wife sent a netbios message telling me to get off the computer(she thinks she is so cool now that i showed her how to do that).
but then i read on further and saw that it came from mini.

UK here !
There was a program over here about the mini arriving in the US. I thought it was amazing, strange to see it in america but not only that, it looked soooooooo small on the road. I could just imagine you happily going along the highway minding your own business and a truck would just go over the top of you, he probably wouldnt even notice that he had done it either.

Time for me 2 say goodbye
by Iron Eagle inyeah i've decided to say goodbye folks.. i've had some interesting discussions on this forum, yet i will cease to operate as an active member as of now.
i came to this conclusion via a number of reasons; .
(a) many people on this board have had such a bad experience as a witness that they have decided to deviate so much from the bible and what it tells us.

Dramatic Good-byes
by Swan ini fail to understand why some people choose to make such dramatic exits?
are they trying to get attention?
are they trying to shame others with their holier-than-thou attitude?

Ah, just realised we are referring to the above "self righteous" post that the forum is going to be a stumbling block between him and god. Well good luck to him is what I say, seems a bit clear from the comments that he rather than us is still a J-Dubblya. With regards to the junk on here, yeah there is some bits that dont personally appeal to me, so I dont read 'em, on a whole I enjoy reading peoples comments and chatting, theres some great people here........besides the net is full of junk and I bit he will sit there for hours on end looking at that !

I have wondered that also ! Why would be be placed under a guilt trip - if anything this forum has helped people, bar the few A**holes who come in to try and wreck peoples lives, it certainly helped me with my leaving and now I have kinda got used to checking it like I check my mail but when the time comes for me to leave, thatll be it, I will say my goodbyes, stay in touch with the friends I have made and thats it. After all, I have a life outside the forum as most of you all do so a simple message saying goodbye and good luck all I feel will be more sufficient.
