once i was little boy in fort worth, texas living with my maw maw and paw paw and mommy.. then, i was an 18 year old 6'4'' skinny 165lb religious nut being dipped in a baptismal during a local assembly.. suddenly, i was 20 and listening to a jail cell door clang behind me as a conscientious objector.. wow!
23 years old and put on parole until my 6 years sentence was ended!
i got married to a nice jw girl and had 3 kids!.

wow it felt good to type that heading, if only it were officially true!.
i guess i dont want to dwell on "ttatt" too much, though i am now an inactive jw now, and will be forever, i dont want to be defined by that.
but i will certainly keep an eye on this forum, contribute where i feel i can, and i must say thankyou to those who moderate it and keep it running.
Thanks for the input....but I've been on this forum for 9 years and maybe I'm to old to understand all the abreviations.....but what the hell is TTATT?

PS: if a poster can type the entire story, then why can't he/she just spell out what they are trying to say instead of this kind of BS?
quentin robburts has been on jw-net off and on for over 6 years and he is one of my oldest and most loyal friends.. his wife called me awhile ago and gave me the news.. quentin was rushed to the hospital's emergency room with acute renal failure and congestive heart failure.. .
this does not surprise me for the following reason.
his pain doctor put him on oxycontin last thursday.
I'm wishing Quentin the best and giving good vibes to yo also Terry.
A true friend is hard to come by.

yes, by land transfers - connected.. .
first - masonic hall property.
the parcel now known as the land owned by the mason's appears to have been consolidated some time ago to form one huge parcel.
NeverKnew,
I live in the Pgh. area myself. Very close to Kennywood Park and have been to the grave site many times. Thanks for the info.
Now I wonder if our paths have ever crossed such as at the Assembly Hall or whatever. I left the borg in 2000 and have not regreted it at all.

you've seen or heard about the ripley's believe it or not museums, where different weird & wacky items are displayed from human culture.
let's compile a list of the weird & wacky items from the jw religion that would make a great jw believe it or not museum.
maybe the wts could open one up it's own historical museum in brooklyn to make some big money.
Wearing jade jewelry, playing chess, and having wind chimes (they evoked the demons) was all taboo.

Paul Blizzard's site about 101 Strange Beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Some of the things here are bizzare but true. I checked out all of them years ago using WT own literature.

"true story" the circuit overseer came to our kingdom hall and read us the riot act (local needs style) "magazines of this quality are not free, they cost money and we are not generating enough donations to defray the cost of the magazines(or running the top of the line printing presses) i get my ass out of bed to place literature in the laundray cleaning, coin opperated shops and some asshole puts his apostate stickers on our magazines.
do you know how hard it is to get up at 6:00 am and how expensive those magazines are costing the organization to print?
please stop defiling our literature, i dont post hateful stickers on your website so please leave my magazines alone.
Is this woman for real or a troll? Her rantings just don't add up for JW think.
From what I know having a lady friend with her ex husband living in Costa Rica.......they protect anyone because there is no extradition regardless of the crime.

i know exactly what happened... he thinks i'm going to die at the big a and wants to be with someone he can live forever with.... we have two girls, ages 3 and 1... i really thought we'd make it despite the religion, now i really don't think so... not sure what to do... .
Beat him to the punch and go to the elders about it.
