The futility of political debate on an ex-JW forum
by willyloman inthis is a forum for fomer jehovah's witnesses.
that is a cult that drills into its members the concept that the political process is evil, delusional, selfish, greedy, and satanic.
it's fascinating to hear so many political naifs express themselves with such certainty and fervor.

An old dub 'friend' writes to ask 'What Happened?'
by willyloman ini got an email from an old friend from my jw days.. our families were close for several years before they moved to another state.
afterwards we kept in touch by phone and visited each others homes a few times.
before we left dubdom in 2003, we had seen them just once in several years.

This post is number 1975, nearly as exciting as the year
by willyloman ini just realized that my last post was number 1974 and i felt compelled to make number 1975 significant enough to deserve being named after that "marked" year.
however, i can't come up with anything.
i could tell you armageddon will come during this post but you'd be skeptical, i'm sure.

I Voted Today
by willyloman inthis is the second time i've voted this year and i feel great!
what a wonderful thing it is to be able to freely express yourself, take some responsibility, and at least feel like you have some choice in who leads, who calls the shots in this world in which we all live.
and what a contrast with the local kingdom hall, where you don't get to choose the po, you don't get to pick the co, you have no say in who, what, when or where.

What I've Learned After 2,000 Posts!
by willyloman inive been watching my number of posts climb towards 2,000 in recent days.. it seemed a good time to contemplate what ive learned in the two years, seven months and five days (according to my profile) since i joined the interactive fray although i lurked here for more than a year while i was a jw elder.
during that time, i read every single post starting with the first page and caught up.
of course, its impossible to read every one now, its so big, but it's been quite an education.

Daughter Dissed by Dub
by willyloman inthe short version is: my daughter fell in love several years ago with another teenager; both were dubs in good standing, both later reproved for expressing that love in some manner not platonic.
boy moves away.
girl moves away, in another direction.
