my friend was summoned to a jc.
she did not go and pretty much told the elders to kiss her ass.
she wants to attend the announcement which is tonight.
On the night of my DA announcement, I was enjoying pizza and beer at a fabulous dining establishment on Broadway, on Capitol Hill, only blocks from the Kingdom Hall. I thought about walking down to the hall, but it just seemed like such a downer compared to the great time I was having with real friends.
Looking back, part of me wishes that I had attended. But I had so much negative energy attached to that hall, to that whole experience, I just didn't want to do it.

when i first got on this site a few days ago i felt so much relief and joy.
i was even trying to help others right away because i have been out for ten years already.
now i am finding that other people's comments and memories are bringing up so many of my own that i have suppressed for years.
Hey karategirl (cool name, by the way!),
Welcome to the board! When I first got here, I spent every waking minute of about a week or so writing long posts, stories, experiences, you name it. It was a great way to process things and move into the next stage. As long as it's helping you, I'm sure you don't have anything to worry about. (It might be a good idea to withhold some person details, however, if you fear they might be traced back to your friends and family. WT operatives have been known to do that.)
I hope you find a lot of good friends and information here. Looking forward to seeing you around!

most informed ex-dubs are familiar with the november 1954 douglas walsh v. the right honorable james latham case.
some of you newer ex-dubs may not be.
each time i read the following excerpt of the court questioning hayden covington (the society's chief lawyer) it still chills me to the bone.
Steve...I hope you've been okay?

Ah, that's what you meant by "air-post." Makes sense. I laughed my head off about the "rural sites" thing. :-)

Sometimes I click on the "Submit Post" button really lightly, so it doesn't actually post. A good thing, too, because I don't usually have anything very intelligent to say!

But I have seen a photo, which is more than I can say for your average JW!!

Hey, you know, I just realized something else. The heavenly calling is still open here on JWD. 144,000 minus the current 14000 means we've still got 130,000 more posters who can get in! In a few years we'll have a historic apostafest in Ceder Point, Ohio, where we'll learn that a great crowd of "other posters" (John 10:16) can also gain eternal life, but on a lower level of the internet. We annointed posters get immortality and we get to see Simon face to face.

New light, you say? Okay, okay, I got some. Okay, here we go, are you ready?
The Witnesses are RIGHT!
No, wait, sorry, they're WRONG!
How was it? That was two for the price of one!

So basically, we're kicking ass. Of course, it's easier to get large percentages of increase when dealing with small groups (c.f. the field service reports in St. Helena), But I would venture to prophesy that our growth rate will be permanently higher than the JWs, forever more.
