Long time apostate, first time poster.

just found this site today and as well as being amused, concerned and shocked at some of the stuff i?ve found here, reading the bios and posts of other ex jw?s has in a way made me feel a little bit less alone in the world.

don?t get me wrong, i?m not an emotionally scared loner, it?s like i?ve finally found someone else to stand outside morning assemble with.

Surprise day/family day

did you have the above instead of xmas?.

we did as a family with about 16 going to it and giving gifts normally feb time.

now though we have been banned from going as we had xmas this year and you can't have both it would seem.

Heatmiser

Nope, didn't get any of those things. And the Jw saying, "but we give gifts all year round." Total bullshit in my family. Never got anything giftwrapped or considered a gift unless it was from a nonJW family member (rare occasions). As a matter of fact anything that was in the house that my parents payed for was my parents (my toys ect. ect.). Luckily I started working when I was 15 so by the time I moved out at 18 I had something to take with me other that the clothes on my back.

While not a JW apologist, I doubt that the letter was written by a Witness in "good standing", my bet judging by the style and phraseology in the content of the letter , is that it has been purposefully written with a particular agenda in mind...
If my suspicions are correct then the person who has written the letter does his/her cause a great diservice...

Is it just me? Does anybody else take this post to mean that Bill faked the letter ?

Describe your last meeting!

my last meeting was memorable.

it was a saturday morning bookstudy.

i showed up a little late per usual with my coffee.

Heatmiser

I think LittleToe's last meeting is the best.

Hell I can't even remember my last meeting. I was so brain dead at the meetings. I have huge chunks of my life missing in my memory and 99.99% of the meetings I can't even remember. It is like 22 years of my life mostly gone. The bad part is I remember ALL the crappy teachings and doctrine.

JWD flyers on cars at KH's

what if we all printed up some flyers advertising ..........seek the truth about the truth.go to jw.com for the answers to questions youv'e had or may have.read articles from the watchtower that the society hopes you will never find.. could we legaly put those on their windshields during a meeting?im sure we could do it at least once,and then if asked to leave comply with their wishes.its a well nown fact that out of 100 or 1000 or 100,000 that some will take the bait and check it out just due to human curiousity.. if we all started using the same informal preaching as them such as dropping flyers at laundry mats and phone booths and grociery stores etc you would think it would catch on.i havent counted all the members of this board and how many countries are represented but it sure looks like a lot to me.. what do you guys and gals think?..............ken

Heatmiser

If you wait untill the weather gets warmer, people will leave the car windows open a crack. You can slide the flyer/card through the window and you won't have to deal with the asshole running around the parking lot taking them off of the windshields.

UN Scandal - does anyone know the reason they joined to start with?

by AK - Jeff in

like most on this board, i know the story, have seen the un press release, ect.

but can someone comment on two questions for me?.

who caught them with their hands in the cookie jar?

Heatmiser

It was to gain some sort of legitacy (spelling?) in some countries that they where having a hard time getting established in, by means of being part of the UN. I have read alot of the links that came out about this issue, but I didn't copy them anywhere. I am sure that somebody that has alot of this info will direct you in the right direction.
