Ha ha on the live feed the first person who said they were leaving
Me: " we have a winner!"
LoL....coincidence, no?!
Wasn't Cliff AKA exjwfifth so brave and touching story. Also the story of martial arts trainer Robert who committed suicide, so tragic.

Nice to meet you, Winners, I wish I could do the same. Maybe some day, maybe never, but we're still in this together.
* And BTW I do think there's a good chance there are more non-active than active JWs, if you count the loads who are disfellowshipped each year, faders/inactives and PIMOs like myself. If you count only those who are truly non-believers, like PIMOs and 'apostates', etc. then maybe not.

Congratulations on coming out. It takes bravery, but after losing so much already, you will feel so much better releasing that last bit of control Watchtower has over you. -

That has to be so liberating.
So very happy for the both of you.
The thing I'm still wondering though after reading that is with the last name "Winner" did you have fun with it growing up?
Such as every time you lost a game saying something like ,I may have lost but I'm still a "Winner".
Or flirting with the ladies and saying things like, if you're tired of dating losers,come to me and date a real "Winner".
Inquiring minds want to know. :) -

Stonewall the name was always a theme of jokes when I was a kid. Although in the 9th grade in gym class all the boys were broken up into 8 basketball teams and our team was called winners losers. We played a 6 game season and then playoffs. We won them all and got a trophy for it. It was one of my few good memories growing up. What makes me laugh now is how many who see the my name written on forms they will call me everything but Winner. So now when ask for my name I always say David Winner opposite of loser. I always get a laugh out of it. Still Totally ADD aka David
