I don't tell JWs I used to be one. I truthfully tell them that I have family members who are JWs. I don't argue with them. There is a pioneer couple that comes into where I work. They smile when they see me. They have a good level of comfort with me. They will talk to me and ask me questions. They don't feel threatened by me because they don't know I ever studied or was baptized. I have empathy for them because I once stood where they stand. I see the human side of it all. If they ask me questions, I give them well thought out answers. Hopefully they will think about the answers.

I had an encounter today...
by lriddle80 inso, i had an unexpected encounter with a jw today.
she was the caregiver who came to work to relieve me and she pulled out a jw.org tract and i told her i knew all about it because my family were part of it and i see it everywhere on their fb.
i, without thinking about the consequences, told her that i used to be one and now go to a baptist church.

I've been getting a huge kick out of Second City Network's you tube videos. The Sassy Gay Friend videos are very funny.
Here's one for starters:

I'm not so knowledgeable. I just learn things through personal experience and then like you, researching remedies for problems I have with Windows or my PC.

My computer had to be rebooted and I lost all of the notes about about previous lists. I am reading every list. Some of the things are things I didn't think of while I was in. Some of the things on your lists, I did. My heart brims with empathy for everyone of you.
Like I mentioned earlier, I have never posted my story here on JWN. Some of my experiences while in the JWs are too painful to revisit. It's easier to accept that they happened and then rarely think about them. Some of it I've mentioned here and there on different topics. I'm just so glad to have waked up and left. I have my doubts that my health could have survived staying in.

The suicide of a brother in our KH who had been counseled and threatened with DFing. He left behind a young wife and three children.
This is so sad. How many of us know JWs who took their own lives over disfellowshipping?

FliyingHighNow - I couldnt help but notice how many of yours had to do with people being treated so wrongly. That is/was my eye opener also.
Yes, the more mistreatment we saw, the more our eyes were opened.
When he decided that he was going to.put that aside and become a typical jw chauvinist my-oh-my did things REALLY start falling apart. That's part of the reason we are now divorced!
The governing body has a lot to answer for. My marriage ended up a disaster, too.

There is a link here:
Delete all but the most recent restore point. System Restore uses restore points to return your system files to the state they were in at an earlier point in time. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by deleting the earlier restore points. For more information, see Delete files using Disk Cleanup.

How do you eliminate restore points, then? Defeats the purpose, no?!?!?!?
Check that link for windows that I gave you. You can search the site for the answer.

Yes, Marina, good thoughts on superstitions and how they played out among the JWs. Just the slightest stray thoughts could bring on attacks by the demons.

Yiz, so sad about your wife. Good to see you posting, though.
