mini:
Why do WE come here? Is it for "friendship"?.........no, friendship has to be in person
To learn about Jews?......no..you have to figure it out with serious study
To play fun games like Werewolf?.....have never checked it out
To get people worked up?......would never want to do that
Because we're depressed or bored?.....i am very depressed after finding the real truth...so that is part of it
Why are you here???......I find it encouraging to know I am not a total FREAK and that many people here understand, and were born in like me and we have had such a painful awakening and hope to make it a positive experience...............................oompa

Outlaw...that was so funny!...
I like that one...
When I first came here it was to find things to help me disprove the JW teachings. I found so many links, referrals, and topics ..it was so helpful..
Now besides finding out any new things going on in the WT society..I just all around enjoy the topics of discussion.
Plus when Hubby was dying..this board was the most caring and supportive one I went to. Thank you all for helping me through it all.
Snoozy..

It's kind of addicting. It's kind of like watching televison. It's easier than doing something meaningfull. Its a no brainer.

Seriously...for the reasons already given...it's a good place to interact with others that have waded through the same bullst...helps doubters....helps those who are not jw's, but are married to one...best of all it exposes the wtb&ts for what it is....on and on...endless list really....

I have a beloved sister who is JW, a Pioneer, and for many years her religion created a wall between us that I couldn't break through. We had almost no contact at all. She refused all contact with her "fleshly family" (a term I loath).
It took me many years of effort to establish a strong bond with her. Through this board I can stay on top of what my sister and her family are being taught, and where their current feelings on certain matters are. It gives me the advantage I need to avoid saying things that might trigger another long period of isolation.
Also, so many of you are really special people, who I've enjoyed getting to know through your postings. Some I now count as friends.
Personally, I think this board serves a good purpose on a lot of levels. Now if people would just try to get along ....
