22The Bump Key - How to Open Any Lock
by daniel-p inthis video hows how with the use of a "bump key" a person can open a lock in seconds.
you can get a few keys that are the same types as most locks on household doors, alter them slightly, and use them to open doors while leaving no trace of damage.
or, you can just buy a set of them online.

Did you have the perfect JW family?
by misspeaches injust wondering... how many of us had the perfect jw family?.
by that i mean, never in trouble with the elders, no loss of restrictions, no disphellowshippings, disassociatings, fadings, reproof - public or private.. of course most of us fit one of these categories.
what about any other families in your congregations?

Sammielee24 Your words truly hit home for me, I can say my family was pretty much this way too.
We did not take vacations except to attend DC's. All of our discussions revolved around the 'truth'. We moved to 'where the need was greatest'. Kids were home schooled to remain strong in the 'truth'. Every moment of every day was given over to what I believed was the 'truth' thus when I left I was destroyed by my entire family. Realizing that the 'truth' is not the 'truth' and nothing more than a lie based on a thousand lies and callous manipulation was devastating. Realizing that you gave your life up for nothing was devastating. Realizing that you had the perfect family only as long as you held the illusion was devastating. Realizing that you raised your kids believing in the same 'truth' and that by doing so you might have ruined their chances of having a semblance of a normal life is devastating. I had what appeared to be the perfect family - I actually didn't. I'm far happier now but not without anger at being misled and not without some bitterness of a life filled with lost opportunity. Those feelings don't rule my life - but they do well up in me from time to time....
It was after we moved that things went spiralling out of control, was for the best now I know that and I am happy to say my kids are all out too. we were the first generation well I and my ex-hubby and then we were faithfully teaching the kids. So I didn't lose my blood family, but we lost some folks in the truth <their trade name not mine) people that we cared very deeply for.
The original congo we attended was full of perfect dubs so it seemed! have seen since then thats not actually how they were. The most recent congo,,, was full of snakes and vipers , and I couldn't be happier they helped me see the real "light"

If we held what a guy says and does and after he's had a few too many to drink and hated him for it afterwards, we'd be holding a lot of grudges & there'd be a whole lot of hating going on. So yes I will continue to watch Mel. If the passion of the christ wasn't enough to make me stop watching him a human weakness and a moment of stupidity sure isn't going to!
Sure, it's not like he's tom cruise or something!
hehe I agree with you here

A Question for Apostafest-Goers
by jeanniebeanz infor those of you who have attended an apostafest.... have you come away from a fest with a different opinion of someone who posts here than what you expected?
have you ever disliked someone on the board due to a difference of opinion expressed here, and found out that, in person, you actually liked that person?
vice versa?.

Everyone that I have met in the solid were very much like the way I percieved them to be on the forum, with an exception of one or two personality traits, but the exceptions were minor and for the good.

Left behind...or forgotten?
by lisavegas420 ini'm nearly 45 years old, an entirely different person than i was when i was df'd at 25 years of age.

I understand how you feel Lisa I have wondered these things myself, what makes a person in prison better than talking to my son who was df'd? But they do see him as worse and he has been written off I think I am "hounded" because they can count me as time now that I am inactive! but I am in a new city now and that doesn't happen anymore.
But as has been said it's there loss, you are a valuable person theres nothing wrong with you.
