  I found Ray Franz to be a total bore in his books, Penton at least has some talent no doubt aided by the fact he is a scholar.. Though it was interesting after reading CofC to go back and count the number un-sourced plagerizations of this book I have encountered on the internet the last few years. Mind-boggling.

  Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................you just made an enormous advertisement as to how much intelligence you radiate!

  Add this to all of your posts since you came on board in January as a total know-it-all, and never telling anything about yourself............you don't show much credibility.

  My guess is that you are a one man band and probably always have been. Maybe by the time you grow up, you will be able to think a little better and comment a little better on matters that so many on this board have been through and have much more knowledge of certain subjects than you can comprehend.

  Now I invite you to prove me wrong if you will. Perhaps it is your immaturity that makes you so knowing.

  Before I am chastised by anyone.......just read this hero's posts since he came here.

  i feel a little odd in posting this..... i am a 39 year old former witness, former elder, former just about everything.

  been through much in the last two years... realized not all things i believed were true to me, not all things in the faith work the way i thought.

  no anger about the past... i did what i believed to be true to myself, and what others do is their decision.

  Hey somlat,

  Where are you?

  Wondering if you are afraid to answer or if you just haven't been on JWD for the past few days?

  You wanted to know if anyone was in Pittsburgh and I answered you and also sent you a PM.

  Don't be afraid. You are in good company here.

  Sure hope I haven't scared you off with my personal info in the PM!

  Or was this just a set-up to get me since on the very day I read your post and answered it........I also had a name and number on my caller ID from a congregation "lackie" who would never call me unless it was for some "theocratic" reason.

  Funny...........I haven't had a call in two years and then you make your first post to find anyone in your area. And I suddenly get a call! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......kinda funny paranoid thinking on my part.

  But I don't really care. If your only purpose in coming on JWD was to flush someone out........and if that someone is me.........and I hear from my last cong..........then the real ca ca will hit the fan even though I have silently faded away for the last 6 years. The ca ca will be thrown by me though!

  If this is the case, then HappyDad will make his stand just like Custer. In the eyes of JW's I will look like the loser.........but in reality I win either way!

  Really........I hope I am wrong and you are for real. I would love to talk with you and find out who our mutual "friends" are.

  Wishing you a wonderful fading and departure,

  i was going to save this for memorial day (the jw date) but then i realized a lot of other posters may want to do that topic then.

  also, my post # two hundred just came up by chance today.

  also my jw ex-wife's birthday is today.

  Thanks for telling your story James. Very interesting!

  I only gave one memorial talk and that was about 1988 or 89........and of course I was rigorously defending the "truth" at that time........even though I had doubts about a lot of things that bothered me.

  Looking forward to hearing more of your experiences.

  my mom and my sister came to visit....

  by theinfamousone in

  now in case you're wondering why this is such a big deal and why the tears are streaming down my face right now, feel free to look at my story as i like to call it.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/101870/1758191/post.ashx#1758191.

  so i think it was thursday i decided to make a huge pot of my little sisters favorite soup for her... when i went to drop it off at their house, well, they werent home, so i left it there with a note just saying hi to her and my mom, and that i miss them and love them... which is probably a shot at my dad who, well you know what i think of him.... i was quite perturbed because i did not receive a phone call or anything to acknowledge that they had received it... so i was a little worried that my father had found it and ripped up my note and thown the soup away... i know it sounds stupid, but i made the soup for my sister, and i mean, i guess it was just to show her how much she means to me... i guess i could have bought her some kind of present, but i dunno, making something seemed right at the time..... so anyways, finally today i get home from school and find a note under my door... they had both come to visit and they left me a note... well my mom wrote a quick note saying they had visited and were sorry they missed me and thanks so much for the soup and for bringing it to them and showing that i do miss them.... she wishes she had been able to see me... my sister wrote me a letter, and left it under my door as well... she wrote on the enveloppe she wanted to give it to me, but was sad she couldnt see me... she says shell call.... this wouldnt be such a big deal, but its the first contact ive had with her in three months or so... i mean, ive called and left messages, but i dont know if any of them even get to her... this little girl means the world to me... and i havent been able to see her in months.... it isnt fair.... so here i am sitting by the phone, thinking of calling in sick to work, just so i can speak to her, i dont want to miss her call... .

  i feel so alone right now, and i just dont know.... im pathetic i know, but i miss her so much..... the infamous one

  Hey man!

  You are by no means pathetic. I admire you for what you have already done and would be glad to have you as a son.........or at my age..........a grandson.

  Keep doing what you are doing and hang in there. Nothing will change what has already happened to you in life.........but you can.........and I'm sure you will make a good go of your life.

  If you ever have a chance to get to Pittsburgh, PA.......give me an IM.

  Look, they know. Why would they go to all the trouble of dragging you in the back room when they know you plan to walk out the door in two months? My theory: They plan to just keep an eye on you, and let you do what you have to do in two months. It will be a lot less work for them, and they won't have to 'take you on' in a JC. I think this brother just couldn't keep his mouth shut...he had to let you know he knew.
