Goodbye to the Board
by dedalus inim leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.
but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.
1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

In the aftermath of our shattered faith, for those who also wonder.....
by Frannie Banannie init's been over 12 yrs since my df'ing.
yes, i forced 'em to do it for what i know now were pointless reasons....but mainly, at the time, i thought it was because the heirarchy of the wts doesn't measure up to scriptural standards....i wasn't wrong for they are very judgmental hate-mongers, manipulative and overbearing....but i've come to learn so much more..... .
after years of traumatic disillusionment, i've begun to wonder if there really is a god/goddess, etc....or is this a state of mind/belief system that mankind has created to explain the inexplicable, answer the unanswerable, to put a spiritual bandaid on the tortured in mind, body and/or spirit.....and yet, tho our bodies wear out eventually, we are wonderfully "made"....and so many things here on earth are sympatico with our human existence and temperament.....yet....at the same time, we have adverse reactions to many things, too, whether vegetable, animal, mineral or even spiritual.....is this all only a contrivance of our imaginings, the result of our teachings among ourselves?.

Thoughts?
by zeena1998 inhey all.
i know that i don't post much here as there is nothing more than a compassionate ear for me to offer to all of you who have been thru so much at the hands of the borg.
throughout my time here though, i have sought to understand what drives people to believe what they do.

Canadian Health Care
by Corvin ingreetings to all my canadian friends on this forum.
first of all, i just want to say that i have never ever met a canadian i did not like.
that sort of freaks me out and makes me question and analyze my psyche a bit, lol.. i had a dinner guest tonight, tony, and while he is a very nice guy, he is a bit strange.

WTS Addresses Child Abuse - er, kind of...
by iiz2cool inmy wife, who is intent on re-activating herself as a dub since i da'd myself, went to the convention this past weekend.
she showed me this new publication entitled "learn from the great teacher", and placed great emphasis on these two pages i scanned and am posting.
it makes a poor show of telling children what to do when confronted by a child abuser.

by zeena1998 inhey all.. i've been quite absent from posting for the past long time.
i don't know what has made me think that this is the time to post this letter to my friend, but here it is.
if she reads it, she knows how to reach me...my email address has remained unchanged for all of this time.

Are You Gullible?
by minimus inhave you ever wondered whether we are too easy to believe what people say they are?
it seems that sometimes we get posters that masquerade as down and out, searching, or very sincere----when, in fact, they are none of these things.
i know we want to believe that people are not dishonest or callous----but----i wonder if we should be more aware than ever before that there are persons that will always try to play on our trust.
