3Pat's Public Service Announcement
by patio34 ini know that most of the posters here are sophisticated and aware of this and that a large proportion aren't even u.s. folks, but am passing this along anyway from msn.slate.com news.. is that evidence in your pants?.
do you have the right to decline a police search on a bus?.

We went to the Drexel Hill cong..... near Upper Darby, PA. Moms husband would give talks all over the Philly area and dragged us along. This was in the late 60's thru 72 (for me).
They moved to Broadheadsville, PA while I have run away (interesting, eh?). They were so active there, they even pissed off the local JW's.
Anyone from those areas?

False memory syndrome must be true... look how many of us remember the 1975 thing, yet the JW's on this board tell us it never happened.

shadow boxing
by almostwhole ini have watched the discussion on this forum for some time,have never been able to commit to a response.. my question is this , while recognizing the catharsis of discussion and debate ,when do we say enough is enough and get on with it?(life).
how do we,why are we so drawn to the process of yelling at a community who largely will not hear.

I dunno... I would think that when people quit drinking they loose thier drinking buddies. After a while, thier drinking buddies quit drinking and when they run into each other, they bond even closer due to having so much in common PLUS the fact that they solved a common problem. That is where I see this small community and see its power.
Now, this power is a relative term. Each person on here is here for a different reason. Some need this for a therapy of sorts, while others like myself are curious after being away from any talk of JW's for half a lifetime. I am still holding judgement on why some others are here.
Keep up the good work, all of you. Life is too short.

1975
by musky inthere has been much said about the watchtower saying that the end would come in 1975. i have never seen any evidence that the watchtower said the end would definitely come in 1975. if there was such evidence, there would certainly be little or no witnesses left today, i believe.
i do not believe that excuses the fact that they definitely put that idea in peoples heads.
i was 10 years old then.

I would guess that many bring up the 1975 year because of the impact it had on so many people that did believe it, esp kids (kids in the 70's). When I ask my mother about it, she denies it was ever said.
It is interesting tho, following the posts thru this board. Many are out of the JW's yet still seem to defend some teachings, others hate JW's (like me), others are in but dont wannabee, and yet others seem to have found a place to stir the mud and push peoples buttons. Aint Amerika great?

My son contemplates suicide.
by dmouse inmy 14 year old son, benjamin, confided in me last night that he almost tried to commit suicide this week, he felt so low.. he has been brought up as a jw by his mum all his short life and until recently totally believed all the crap.
although he has not been baptised yet he expressed the desire to pioneer and go to bethel.. then, in the past few months, he suddenly woke up and smelt what he was shovelling.. my son is an extremely gregarious, likable boy with lots of friends in the congregation.
he is always invited to the get-togethers etc.

Much of this sounds like my life as a teen.... my attempt at dying was done thru running away at 15 and living life on the very edge of danger. I wouldnt suggest anyone doing that now tho.
Get him out of there.... period. The JW people in his life wont help him, they will berate him more.
