  for lurkers and those not yet aware of this, because we have new ones joining us every day.

  in 1993 david koresh led more than eighty branch davidians to their deaths in waco, texas.

  in 1978 some nine hundred followers perished in a mass suicide in jonestown, guyana, under the command of their cult leader, jim jones.

  The problem is that the GB has convinced everyone they speak from god. Once you have someone convinced of this you can tell them just about everything. The r&f certainly don't understand it; everyone is waiting on jehovah to resolve doubts. How do you crack the "gb speaks from jah" lock and chain that keeps everyone in their place?

  if you have heard about him, can i ask how long ago you heard about him, and where did you hear about who he is?

  just curious.

  I remember hearing (from a DO or Bethelite or someone "important") that the "society" was going to slowly move things out of the city for safety when things got too bad near the big A. It's taken quiet a while because that was more than 20 years ago. Now they can safely make huge amounts of money from the sales.

  My wife has finally seen the light.

  2. friends

  for 18 months i have been at loggerheads with my wife over the wts.

  she has been the perfect watchtower slave even declaring that she'll never leave the truth.

  i decided not to interfere in her life, attacking the society, and the idiots in the hall, but recently things have changed for the best.

  Seven years ago I was "inactive" and newly divorced. And broke and supporting two kids. My family had already decided to shun me because I wasn't attending meetings and they thought I must have committed a sin. Nothing was further from the truth! My new "worldly" friends were a huge support and got me through the tough times. I still thought the wtbs might be right but knew I'd never go back. I was still three or so years away from discovering JWD.

  A lot has happened; thanks for the thread Jourles!

  i hail from new bedford, mass.

  i was a newbie with the jw's in the mid 50's, quickly and naively following my parents, and when i graduated high school (new bedford high) i moved to where the "need was great" in central iowa.

  the following is a composite photo of some of the folks that met on the second floor of an insurance building in new bedford.

  I knew the Silva's in Detroit; they were DO'ing there. I heard they eventually left the "traveling work" and were enjoying the pursuit of material stuff! Does anyone know?
