my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.

obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

If it wasn't for worrying about waking the other half up, I'd say yes. Minimal ministry, having 'fun' exercising my critical thinking abilities every meeting that I attend. But every day, NO GUILT! that's a bit good...

Yep we had them again this year, Jason thickpenny and his group of born againers. Holding signs showing the '1914 the generation that will not die away' front cover of he WT, and other assorted anti jw rhetoric. He was walking around with the large print brown reference bible, which I thought was a nice touch. All seems a bit pointless though, barely anyone would talk to them even if they wanted to, there's too much peer pressure. I think that big jw facts signs would be more fruitful.

How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

by BucketShopBill in

friends

is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

Dammit, how can an offer of help turn into a big argument? I expected better from the people on here. So others didn't get help but someone offered to help terry. So what? Would you slag me off for donating to girl scouts but not oxfam?

Two Witness principle

by Rattigan350 in

one thing that i agree with is the two or more witness principle.. i have an experience to tell why.. at work for lunch i go to my car and eat and read emails on my laptop (since i can't bring my laptop in).

one day a hr director and my director told me about an occasion where i was in my car and a woman went out to her car that was next to me and left for lunch.

she came back and pulled in a spot and saw that i was in my car to the left of her and what came to her mind was that i must have just pulled in after her and she felt uncomfortable with that and thinking that i was following her and she went to security.

Why the specific mention of 'an UNBELIEVING mate' in the WT quoted above? Because unbelievers lie, but a believing mate would not?

while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.
