    Becuase, I need all of you.

    You anonymous people who type on your computers somewhere in the world.

    Only you can understand me.

    Only an ex-JW can understand another ex-JW.

    Worldly people have a different reference point, a different way of thinking about things.

    Worldly people were not usually raised with the warped, "The Society speaks for God, and follow everything the Society says...or else."

    Worldly people were not usually raised with the black/white thinking.

    So, while many of you...I would not recognize on the street.... you "understand me" more than my closest worldly friends.

    How is it...out there, I am a "stranger in a strange land."

    In JWN, it's like Cheers.

    Title: Where Everbody Knows Your Name

    By: Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo

    Makin' your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
    Takin' a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
    Wouldn't you like to get away?


    Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name,
    and they're always glad you came.
    You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same,
    You wanna be where everybody knows your name.


    You wanna go where people know, people are all the same,
    You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

    I am here for some of the reasons already mentioned. I was raised a JW. I didnt escape until I was

    31 back in 83. I enjoy reading where other various ex JW's are in their thinking and thought processes,

    their views of life and the world.

    Its entertainment, I'd rater go on the computer than sit and watch tv. I have 4 or 5 sites I visit regularly

    and if something cathes my eye I read it, and sometimes respond.

    I am here to learn and to contribute. I wish to add my voice to all the ex-JWs speaking out against the WTS cult in the hopes that it will help someone either decide not to join or decide to have a better life and leave. In this hope I am also helping myself and my family.

    I'm here because I love meeting new people and gosh I get the news around the world here before I turn on the TV! I love how you guys know everything about the org before anyone at the hall will get it. This is like the newspaper for me every morning. Some days I'm on more than others.
