I've had a mustache since 1973 when I was just 26. Nothing was ever said since many bros in the Pittsburgh had them....both black and white. I still have the mustache but instead of it being almost black in color, it is now whitish gray.

I am hesitant to say that persons name since said person has family who are still in. If she sees this post and wants to pipe in, then all the better. Hopefully we will do it again. It's always nice to compare notes from our past. Said person is very proud of her children who chose the path of education and are leading good and successful lives.....just as I am proud of my xJW daughter and her career.
Life is good!

I always liked JunctionGuy. Sure hope he is doing well these days. So many over my 10 years on JWD/JWN have stopped posting. Hopefully because they have moved on with their lives. I still check here on a daily basis even though I am a million miles beyond my past as a JW. Keeping up with the changes in the religion is always an eye opener to let me know that I am ok!

Just ordered this
by dynamiterose77 ini just ordered this book.
(ok... it's not linking, it's called "i'm perfect, you're doomed: tales from a jehovah's witness upbringing" by kyria abrahams).
i came across it when trying to explain to a coworker about the end of the world images that would be in watchtowers when i was growing up and why they gave me horrible nightmares.

Kyria Abrahams is quite talented. Something that never would have happened if she continued to buy into the crap that had all of us in it's hold for however long! Just google her name and a whole bunch of info comes up about her. She also has a Facebook page that is good.

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Kingdom Halls?
by nicolaou inafter all, "at this time,over 13,000 kingdom hall projects and 35 assembly hall projects are needed worldwide.".
hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .
could this be the long game?

Wow Nicholaou,
That picture of the KH with the bricked up windows reminds me of the Eagles song "Hotel California". "You can check out any time you want but you can never leave."

I guess the Holy Spirit doesn't like the local BOE any more. Now the HS is giving all attention to the CO.

Which of the SEVEN stages of post JW behavior are you in right now?
by Terry in1. they done me wrong.
2. i'm depressed.
3. i'm gonna act like an apostate (smoke, drink, drugs, sex, outrageous behavior).
-

HappyDad
Number 4 "I found Jesus" and number 5 "what if they really have the truth" hounded me for years. Without appologizing I do believe in Jesus but will no longer argue the point with anyone who believes otherwise. And now I know that they (JW's) DO NOT HAVE THE TRUTH!
I keep my mind open to all explanations that my limited mind can take in today. Life is good!

A MESSAGE to the Governing Body and others like them through human history
by Terry inthere is something all too familiar about it, something that sickens the stomach and reminds us how low and prejudiced evil minds can go.. those who divide humans up in order to weaken and conquer them will stop at nothing if not counterfeit reasoning to justify their evil.. .
the arguments made in the past and the arguments made in the present have a familiar ring to them and the false clanger is a note of warning!.
"if you give women the right to vote, you're just doubling the vote of their husband.".

Very well said Terry! Thanks for all your posts. It has taken me years to finally break free from JW obnoxiousnous and just listen to what others have to say without my old "I'm better than you" attitude. My thinking has really changed now that I listen, read and think. I was physically free for years but now my mind is free too thanks to poster such as yourself.
