very first post.
go easy on me!.
my question though is this.
Hi Observing Texan. Welcome.
The old KH here used to have it's windows broken regularly. The new KH doesn't have windows. So, the vandals just spray painted obscene words across the new white stucco.
Most of the older KHs I've been to have some sort of windows. Like Blondie said, they were needed for ventilation.

i am not here to insult anybody by all means but if only 144,000 people make it into heaven then what about the 2.2 billion children in the world ?
now don't get me wrong i belive in god to the fullest.
i am a christian just curious about your religon ?
Hi Melba. Welcome to the board.
Yes, the JWs believe that only 144,000 go to heaven. The rest of the JWs live forever on earth. Everyone who is not a JW is destroyed by God at Armageddon.

it's really good to read stories of other people that have experienced some of the same things i have.
i haven't ever posted or even talked to another ex-jw except for my uncle who i have just recently started a relationship with.
the sad thing is that i am 30 years old and i am still struggling with the past....i'm soo sick of it.
Hi Beachbugg. Welcome to the board. I hope you find it a place of healing. Being able to voice your thoughts to people who understand is very helpful.

i just got a call from the social security office.
now......these people sent me a letter of denial of ssi even before their doctors examined me a coupla weeks ago, so i couldn't imagine why they would be calling me.
at first i thought she was telling me that they'd mistakenly sent out the denial letter to me, but that wasn't it.
Good news, Frannie!!!!

i just joined this forum, for two main reasons.
1-i've been feeling the need to talk to some ex-jw's out there.
i feel like i've only been alive for 2 years, and it's hard to feel normal around the public.
Hi Deneranys. Welcome to the board. I was 19 when I started studying.

i am moving soon to pennsylvania and no one will know i live there.
i've always had a great desire to play some tricks on the poor jabba's witnesses stuck out in street work and liven up thier drab routine.
here are some thoughts, what would your reaction be.. .
Well, I've had option #2 pulled on me a few times in service. It's very effective in getting rid of JWs quickly. It's hard to get a conversation going with someone who just stands there and stares.
The weirdest response at the door I ever had was when a householder said; "I'm going to hell. I just had a sex-change operation." We tried to tell him/her that it didn't mean he/she was going to hell. But he/she just closed the door on us.

this morning was the morning after the night before at the get-together at the apostates' restaurant.. such an animated crowd with instant friendship.. yep, many came with at least one thing in common, a realisation about the trith about "the troof".. and how appropriate we should be just down the road from bethel.
let's hope they heard - the inmates would have been sooooo jealous!.
there was dark knight with friends, jwfacts and his friends - didn't they have a tale to tell!
Thanks, Ozzie. It sounds like a restaurant I would love to visit. Especially if there were a bunch of apostates there.

seasonal affectiveness disorder.
february is an especially hard month for me every year.
it is a little worse than winter blues.. for me the lack of energy seems to be the most dominating symptom.
We started using colour corrected light bulbs last winter. We've both noticed a difference. We haven't felt S A D yet this year and it's been an especially dark and gloomy winter.
