I left before 1975 arrived. I suddenly became aware that as most JW prophesies were based loosely on the ramblings of old men succumbing to the delights of magic mushrooms that this was no time to be toying with what remained of my youth.

All the ladies I know are riveted to the men's synchronised diving.
...and somehow i get the feeling that many of those guys wouldn't be returning that interest.

Inverting the idea, our old circuit used to have some young ladies who extolled the virtues of pioneering by singing "Wonderful, wonderful pioneering" to this old tune:

Reinstated and then fade
by Zeds Dead ini'm a man - d'fd for 2.5 years now and divorced.
find it hard to date girls out here only due to always having this secret i carry with me that i was once a jw and the thought of telling a girl one day why my family don't acknowledge me as even alive.. recently been thinking of trying to get reinstated and then do a quick fade as i cant go back to the whole jw stuff.. easier said than done and was turned down twice by elders after an immediate attempt 2 years ago.. my motivation for trying would be 1.
) to see if family make contact and 2) play the last hand in their game and give the middle finger.. interested in viewpoints?.

It's the act of keeping a secret that's cramping your style! Seriously, I used to find that announcing one had been brought up in a cult could open many doors socially speaking, providing one never moaned about it or did the self-pity thing. In fact, it attracted more females than one would get when walking the dog...

I just wonder what names are coming to the fore in this enquiry about historic child abuse. Maybe some names that could rock the British establishment and bring into question the whole UK edifice?

The third to resign? What the hell are these people coming across in their deliberations that make them feel the need to resign?

Jeehoober says we can clap for reinstated ones!!
by DATA-DOG inso, i guess an upcoming wt has some new light on clapping!
evidently, jesus has misinformed the gb/wtbts since the late 90's.
clapping was disrespectful, because jesus felt that those who were df'd should not be given a pat on the back.

Doesnt that fly in the face of the parable of the prodigal Son ?
It does indeed. Especially when the father rushed to him as soon as he saw him in the distance.

Signs of Toxic Personalities
by Simon incame across this and found it rather interesting:.
http://facthacker.com/18-signs-of-toxic-people/.
it's always good to be able to identify when we may be exhibiting some of these behaviors or, hopefully more likely, to spot the behaviors in others and help avoid the impact they can have.

American does not tend to use the word "bloody" in every paragraph and when having a discussion/debate we do not begin sentences with a deep-sounding "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Heh. Bloody right!
But I am learning to say WOW whenever I'm impressed.
