Well then I am sorry....Minimus the Supreme One.

No, I can't. For the most part I assume that everyone here is pretty much who they are. The same with the WTS, which is why I was sucked in so easily.

Even way back when I was in grade school, I was always being taken in by other kids and was embarrassed that I had been conned (and everyone else knew the score) It's been with me all my life, and I'm too stupid to know how to play one against another or to play mind games. Something tells me that I'm too old to learn now!

Most times other posters will see discrepancies with some posters and will "call them out", so the truth ends up coming out too.

With me, it's a case of what you see is what you get! Warts and all!

Another problem is, ahem, posting too much truthful information about yourself which can end up biting you on the ass in a JC meeting. I know of someone that has happened to.

I prefer to say less than outrightly lie.

if someone dogs the Watchtower here and with other JW friends dogs the "apostates" here, they're phoney.

That statement I can agree with .. For reasons of family support i will still attend sometimes on a Sunday and even maybe an Assembly. when there, I obviously do not comment , I could not sing a Kingdom Song, the words would stick in my throat. When in the company of witnesses I try to be friendly. Why not?

Those who know me, know that I no longer believe. But witnesses rarely want to talk about beliefs anymore , so the matter hardly ever comes up. I would not criticise the internet community , just chose to be a survivor, since they do not seem to want to push the point with me.

I do not see that as phoney

I fall into that category too. I have come very close in telling a few things that my JW child and relatives have done to me (and they were real doozies-make no mistake) but for some reason I have stopped short of coming out and telling these things.

One person is very litigation-happy and would bring me up on charges for defamation of character or some such thing, and I want as little to do with her as humanly possible. I've seen her in action before, so it's a word to the wise and all that.

There were years that I had been duped by her and never knew a thing, just merrily going on my way. LOTS of family members knew what was going on but never let on to me until it all hit the fan around the same time as I DAed myself. (1999) and much more has been revealed since then. I'm sure Jehovah is proud of her. (NOT!)

No. I've never even thought about it. I'm here for one reason only and that's to clear the air and meet new friends. Well, I guess that's two reasons. And I guess I just figured that others were here to heal from the years of being a jw. But I've never even considered that someone would want to do that. Why? Do we have some phonies on the forum? If so, what is the reason why they would do that? What a waste of time and energy.

On the other hand, someone's true life story could seem so outrageous that others might not believe it, but every word is true. It's hard to tell if someone is lying, especially over the internet. Unless their stories don't add up, I would assume they were telling the truth untill proven otherwise. IMO

I never lie unless its absolutely convenient
