5Any information on number of JW's who have left?
by *jeremiah* inso i'm curious if there is any accurate information out there as far as the number of people who have left the jw's.
maybe annually or per decade or whatever.. you have those who are disfellowshipped, those who are disassociated, and then those who are never baptised who just kind of walk away.
i'm sure "the society" has these numbers, yet, i'm sure they don't come off of them.

How extraordinary and cool mumsy!! I love it!!!!!
Got to try something like that this year for my place....
We have Jw’s that live kiddy-corner from us and I am sure if I pulled something like that off, they would even have more of a stiff upper lip at us when they saw us...
Quick story about the neighbors.......................... (sorry off topic a bit)
When they first moved on to our street, they were all nice to us and I to, was friendly in return...Until they started leaving me awakes on my steps....Once I figured out who it was, I politely brought them back to their front steps and left them on their steps...After about the 3 rd time of me taking them back to her, she caught me, and ran out the door, and said "no, no, they are compliments from me and I should take a look at them and read them".... I responded with "well, you should know that I am an X-JW and brought my children up to believe in Santa Claus and ghosts & Goblins at Halloween so, you need to figure out something else for rendering in your time cause my place don’t count" and BTW, "I hope you have not brought your awakes back into your home since they have been at my pagan home first"... Nothing was said to me after wards and since that day, they will not even make eye contact with me nor the family...It’s a shame cause they have 2 young children that were always yelling across the way to say "hello" to me and now, you can tell that they have been told not to say anything to any of our family. We make it hard for them though cause I always yell over a BIG "hello" and" what a wonderful day it is eh"
My kids still, always ask them( their young children) to play hockey with them if there outside hanging on their front porch watching....you can tell they are just dying to come down off that porch and play with all the other kids on the street...
just makes me sad for those poor kids....

..Your still an Idiot..
by OUTLAW init is a long way to my ranch..i mean along way..i live hundreds and hundreds of miles from any large city..the only general store is a miles and miles and miles away..once you get to the area i live,you have to travel a wagon trail that was here in the 1800`s.you`ve got to travel that wagon trail for awhile.there are a few wagon trails that split off from the main one..it`s a whole lot of nothing in every direction..if you manage to chose the right wagon trail to my ranch you still have a way`s to travel.once you get to my ranch,it`s fenced off,the gate is closed and the huskeys guard the yard..your not getting in.....what do i see when i get to the ranch gate?..it looks like a letter,stuffed into a plastic bag..i get closer and it`s too big to be a letter,maybe it`s a wanted poster for outlaw..lol!
!..i finally get to the gate,pull the plastic bag from between the boards of the gate..it`s a 2 page pamphlet about as thick as 2ply toilet paper.it says:"the end of false religion is near!"..??
?..how the hell did a jw find thier way here?..were they lost?..did the dogs eat them?..lol!

My mums operation
by fullofdoubtnow inmy mum had her operation today, and i am so relieved!
everything went fairly well, and there seems to have been no complications, though it may be some time before she makes a full recovery.
she will be in hospital for a little while, and when she does come home she will most likely need someone with her most of the time as she won't be able to get around too well, but my brother and i will deal with that when she does come home.. the last few days have been really stressful, and i want to thankyou all for your good wishes, it means so much to me to know my mum has been in your thoughts and prayers.

by BlackPearl innot sure if this is the right forum for this, but....anyone want share any recent stock purchase?

Well, I know nothing about nothing with the stock exchange...I did however buy stocks to something about 5 years ago and yet have been able to see a penny from it...
I trusted a good friend and they reassured me this would be a good thing and I could retire one day or send my children to college with the return on it...It totally seemed legit to me right down to a web site about it and still to this day there is still incoming mail about "how" my stocks are doing but, I have not seen any return on it and don’t understand the "mumbo jumbo"stock- talk of what they are trying to tell me..Apparently, we waiting for it to become "public" before we can sell any of our stock yet...
It is a shame now cause I have lost a good friend over this situation. I have also lost $6000.00 thousand dollars ( in my eyes) and I still kick myself for the bad choice I made... additionally I have to live with the guilt of talking my in-laws into buying the same stock ( they spent way more then us) and they are waiting as well with no explanation.
I think I have been screwed over and I am totally confused about the whole thing...............

JW or not, if ya do the crime, ya do the time......
that poor family will never see their daughter, wife/ girlfriend, sister, niece, friend, or cousin, every again or have her get out in good time served.....if the tables were changed and the JW’s lost one of their own to a drunk driver, every legal option and bible scripture would be brought up.....and twisted of course to boot!!
Just sick!!
No excuses for drinking and driving!!

(((((((Seeker4))))))))
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your good friend....He was way to young for his life to end...
He sounds like a remarkable person and you have good memories of him. The song ‘Imagine" must have brought a lot of tears on. Having said that though, I bet you felt humbled to have been to a funeral that they remember your friend and speak about him, and not make it about Jw's. (compared to a Jw funeral.)
The song in a regular setting always makes me cry. I find it an emotional song but, a great one and one that will always be one of my favorites.
May time heal your heart..
