  We're busier than ever !

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  well, despite some 'doom and gloom' predictions of our imminent demise, last week was the busiest ever for the site in terms of visits with just a few short of 52,000 beating even the dateline and panorama weeks !

  (i think quite a few who found us then have stuck around).. a quick tally of the thread viewed counts shows that they have now been viewed over 9.5 million times !

  (this is just threads, discounting all the other page views).

  by kenpodragon in

  2. friends

  when i left the religion, i walked away and did not get df'ed or da myself.

  in doing so, my wife left the religion at the same time.

  in our life we have been very nonwitness in our life.

  Marilyn,

  If that's what happened then you need to sue those elders individually! In a court of law for deformation of character!

  remember, you had the truth!

  everybody else didn't even have a clue!

  the worldly people never understood our spiritual paradise.

  MOST PEOPLE NEVER REALLY CHANGE

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most people never really change!

  our personalities, whether we are active witnesses or are inactive ones, apostates or almost apostates, are the same.

  if we tend to rant here on this board, the probability is we were ranters elsewhere.

  sometimes i really get sad over my situation.. even though i have never really been active in the cong.

  i still grew up in a "spirituall strong" family, my sisters all pioneering, my dad is also an elder-still.

  i miss my parents, they way they were.

  jwbot,

  You have a tough row to hoe, but it sounds like you've made tremendous strides. Keep your chin up. I bet you'll do okay!

  Cool name btw.

  IF I WAS AN ELDER, I WOULD..............

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades i heard people say "if i was an elder,i would change this or i wouldn't allow that.brothers and sisters alike would always try to get the ear of an elder so as to enact a particular cause.everybody has their own pet peeves in a congregation.

  knowing what you know now, if as an elder you could make a major change in the congregation or organization, what difference would you make?.....this is hypothetical so it can be answered by male or female.

  Ruth's Watchtower (Part II)

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've been having a bit of fun with our speculations about what ruth is really like, from clues drawn from the watchtower she (or someone) left in a train.

  i had a look at the watchtower itself and have been rather amused by its overall cheesiness.

  or to quote groucho marx:.

  Everytime, Always. It sucked !

  P.S. Most of the houses i went to were so filthy & smelled like an elephants butt. There would have been no way I would have studied with those filthy morons anyway.
