  worry about yourself. who cares what everyones else does...

  by What_is_ur_point in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  why do witness, xwitness, disassociated witness, disfellowshipped witness, atheists.. why doesn't everyone worry about themselves.

  it's so pointless when someone like me raises certain opinion's that cant be breached here on the message boards.

  people say that they win against people like me.. ?

  to those of you that have been jw's for many years... i would like to know how it is that you have transferred to your new life.

  my family and i are in the process, actually, we have left because of many of the issues brought up on this forum.

  this, being jw's, is all that we have ever known.

  Tequila helps the process of leaving. So does fornication.
  
  Well, it worked for me, 20+ years ago.

  Frogleg is kinda busy, but he wanted me to let you know that he was severed from a bullfrog (not a leopard frog, mind you) and was dipped in a beer batter before he was fried. And he said that he goes well with onion rings. And he tastes like chicken.

  I dunno, man. I don't know you from Adam. I'm sure there's more to your story than I know. But my 30-second read is that you want to have your cake and eat it, too. You want your 'family reasons' and you want to feel good about what you say to people when you ring their doorbells. I don't think you can have both once you understand 'the truth about the truth'.

  I don't get it. You want to go back for "family reasons" & spread their BS from door to door, even though you say you've learned 'the truth about the truth'? How can you do that?

  From a true American patriot

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  people have made claims that i am anti-american for expressing dissatisfaction about american foreign policy or dismay at the ills of american socity.. to be honest, i do not think i am anti-american.

  i think i am more pro american than many of the people in the country who like to wave flags and buy t-shirts but who seem happy to turn a blind eye when things are not right and happy to see it's ideals sold to the highest bidder.

  imo the true patriots are those who are willing to stand up and take the flak for saying "this isn't good enough, we demand better".

  "To be honest, I do not think I am anti-American."
  
  Maybe you are. Maybe I've just missed all the threads in which you've said good things about our contry. Perhaps it only SEEMS as though whenever you say something about the U.S. it is said in a derrogatory manner.
  
  "Is America the best country on earth? No, I don't think so. I don't think there IS a "best country" as they are all different, each with good points and bad points."
  
  No one here has said that the U.S. is perfect, to my knowledge. We're human, after all. And that means we still have a ways to go in making our society better, from a number of angles. On the other hand, I think we do have the best available set of opportunities and the best possible country in which to live. Lord knows we have a huge number of people wanting to cross our borders each year, whether legally or illegally.
  
  People from many nations see the U.S. as THE place to be, and come here to seek their fortune. Perhaps it's not such a bad place, after all.

  Are you honest when you say your age?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know people who don't say their real age, like take off 2 or 3 years.... my mom looks younger than her age, so she sometimes took off a few years.

  gee, i'm just the opposite, i rather say my real age, and wait for a compliment saying "hey you look good for your age".

  how about you, do you ever lie on your age?

  did you escape BEFORE baptism?

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i am of the "born into it but got out of it before baptism class"......listening to so many of the horror stories on this site, i often feel like we are the 'lucky ones'..... we realized at a very young age how wrong and absurd this belief system was and ran away before making the psychological investment of baptism while simultaneously avoided the disastrous consequences of getting df'd......are we the minority here???

  just curious!
