Dude, you can't post stuff from more than 10 years ago. That's old light ... or, ummmmm ... dark, or something. *LOL*
i just wonder if any here from an area, say within 100 miles of fort wayne indiana interested in getting a small informal group together?
i have not been able to find any xjws in my immediate area.
i have gone to the meetup sites - still nothing.
Jeff, I'm just down the road from Ft. Wayne.
i have been so sadend by finding this site and wanted you all to know that the organization is indeed a loving one with only your best interests at heart...but i'm sure, if you look deep within your hearts you already know this to be true...dont you?.
if you search your inamost thoughts and feelings and put away your debeauched/immoral life style ( because if you are truly honest with yourselves, guilt is the reason you needed to distance yourselves from righteousness) and come back to the truth you will see that only kind, loving and overwhelming compassion has always been at the forefront of the wtbts and that although you may feel contentment in a (deluded sort of way) you would have a real happiness within the true christian organization...as your former bible trained concience must know... all others that profess to be 'christian' are satanicly influenced even though they may appear to do good/kind things....how else would the last days of satans system be?.
so i urge all the 'lost sheep' to 'find the love you had at first' and return to the loving compasionate embrace of the organization....you know this makes sense!!!!
a list of the reasons you may have associated and became one of JW in the very beginning
You mean like ...
1. My parents were Dubs
2. They dragged me to meetings
3. I got the hell out soon after turning 18
i could get there early, and save you all some seats!
at least i would have someone to talk to after the meeting
What if several of us walk in, sing a bar of Alice's Restaurant, and then just walk out? They may think it's an organization. And if 50 people do it, they may think it's a movement!
i've been pondering this question for a while now and i haven't come to a conclusion yet.
on the one hand there is evidence of psychological manipulation in their publications.
they discourage questioning of their authority or even their fallability and try to whitewash past mistakes.
Well, regardless of which possibility is worse, NWT, ... don't you have better things to do than follow these losers around?

i recently had an experience at school where i felt like the one odd poor class in the room.
the conversation started with homelessness and then gravitated to poor people in general.
there were a lot of weird and false assumptions laid out like "those people walk hunched over" and " they" .....well you get the picture.
I think that there is indeed classism in the US, but the beauty of our country is that you're not necessarily stuck in one place. There is opportunity for those who find a way to grasp it. And perhaps those who rise to a new level are still looked down upon by those who remain 'above' them, but they (and their children) realize a whole new set of opportunities. I grew up poor. I ain't stuck there.
