    Hello and welcome,

    Just to set everything more or less straight, when you said, "I'm up for theological discussions, but not with Witnesses. It's not worth the arguement. Sorry if that offends, but I've been where you are and arguing is moot since you don't believe you can be wrong, being guided by a group of power hungry men and all."

    Um, we ain't witnesses. We be ex-Witnesses. Oh, there's a JW or two who show up here to tell us all about the error of our ways, leavin' da troof, 'n' all, but they generally leave right after some one or other of us takes a huge bite outta they butts.

    This is a great place to check up on things and learn what lies the JW are tellin' today, and also to discover things like the Silentlambs march last month, the one against the JWs. And we find out the air times and dates of programs like the one Dateline did on pedophilia in the JWs, and the one in the UK and the one in Australia and the one coming up in Portugal.

    There are also Apostofests to find out about where all us Apostates get together and meet in person and drink copius amounts of, um, beverages. Stuff like that.

    Hang out for a while. I think you'll like us. We like you already. You got spunk.

    Francios,

    Thanks for the clarity. I had just been surfing around before I posted and was really surprised at the number JW friendly conversations I saw. Let's face it: it's a cult. You know that, I can see.

    I'm glad to be at home here.

    Thanks to you all for making me feel welcome!!!!

    Hi Fluttergirl,

    Welcome to the board. I was wondering when you said...Mom and step-dad left before me.

    If they are not JW's.....why do they shun you and your family? (if there is a private reason, please omit the question)

    Nice to have you.

    I think it was she who said she appropriately shunned her mom and step-dad after they left.

    It's her real dad whose in full shun mode.

    Welcome fluttergirl!

    I've only been in this forum for about 3 months, and did no "lurking" before then...just came on board cold turkey. It was a good friend who pointed me in this direction.

    And, my oh my! How I can now understand that "I had no idea what being happy is."
