  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Who knew about our new light is more like light bulbs burning out and needing to be replaced?

  Leaving it all behind.

  by Jazzbo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i haven't been on an exjw site for months and months.

  i frankly am way past the point where i define myself as an exjw, i am who i am and it doesn't have really anything to do with the way i was raised or spent a considerable portion of my life, i also refuse to be bound by witness requirements as to leaving, contact with witnesses, or some kind of responsibility to whack people who seem perfectly happy as witnesses over the head with 'the truth about the truth'.

  i have recently run in to a few people that seems to simply obsess with their lives as witnesses and why they left and in some cases the way they were treated or mistreated, or the need to "do" something.

  I got past the exJW identity shortly after my d'f. Unfortunately, I live in a large apartment complex which is populated by JWs including inactive/d'f. Whenever I see one, which is all the time, I sometimes regress to both my JW persona and/or the exJW self for a short while.

  "Please God...do something about this! Teach these men (WTBTS and GB) how wrong they are!"

  I hear your outcry but these men are irredeemable and not worthy of any meaningful communication.

  Is This Something Or What?

  an almost 3-year old was watching a video on an obsolete phone given to him by his mama.. the video was of the joker manhandling spider man, the tyke's hero.. the villain and the hero were in a driveway that was similar to that of the house where tyke lived.. he handed the phone to his grandma, stating, "hold my iphone, grandma, while i go outside.".

  "to beat up the joker because he's getting on my nerves!".

  true story that i personally witnessed..

  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  And if you play with yourself before self-marriage, would that be pre-marital sex?
  

  I guess so.
