1996 University Of Cleveland Convocation Center, Cleveland, Ohio. About 3 months after my wife died in April, 1996, I drove to the convention. It was the first convention I ever had to attend by myself. When I got there, I saw others from my congregation and exchanged pleasantries. After a couple of agonizing hours and just before the lunch break, I decided that I didn't want this anymore. I left and drove the almost 3 hours back home and never went to another convention. It took another 4-5 years for me to do my fade and I have never looked back. Life is wonderful without Watchtower and congregation goons deciding your life for you.

Splane's "Apostate" talk transcript
by FFGhost infor any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/.
there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

Splane's talk just tells me that they are monitoring this site as well as Reddit and whatever other forums there are.

In the early 1970's my brother-in-law and I knocked on a door and this gorgeous woman opened up and she had on a see through neglegee with nothing else. It was a beautiful sight and we both had a "hard" time trying to keep eye contact while we gave our spiel.

JLO changes men like some people change their underwear. Quite often. I still believe in morality and JLO doesn't have any idea what morality is. Just add her name to the long list of other celebrities that live the same kind of life.

Do You Think Trump Will Make A Comeback?
by minimus indo you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.

I think Trump and Desantis will run. I also think they will win. Then Trump will most likely die in office and Desantis will take over. Having lived in SW Florida for 5 years, I have seen that there are only three classes of people. The very rich, the retired rich, and the working class poor. The republican government of Florida doesn't care about the working class at all. They are oppressed at al all levels. With the low wages, high rent and high cost of living, you will see as many as 10 people sharing rent. The state makes it next to impossible to collect unemployment.
Desantis is a good fit for the rich but a bane to the working class. Myself, I'm not rich but see good points and bad in both sides (republican and democrat). But I don't see anything happening to make everyone happy. I think as far as JW indoctrination goes, they had a good point of not getting involved in the politics of the world. I had never had anxiety or issues of any kind when I could care less about who was in office. Now, I sometimes worry about what idiots in power will do next to hurt the population.

What The Hell Are You Trying To Say?
There.........I'm finally getting this off my chest. I see so many posts where instead of spelling the words, the poster uses letter abbreviations. The majority of us know what TTATT, PIMI, PIMO, and a few other abbreviations mean, but please.........when posting something important, spell out the word or words. If there is a newcomer to this forum (or an old fogey like me), that person probably doesn't have a clue to what you are saying.

Another Gem of a conversation with my PIMI Dad
by joe134cd inthe following is a conversation i had with my pimi father regarding a news segment on tv dealing with csa.
joe: that’s terrible the incidences of csa happening in the community.
dad: yes it is.

It took me a minute to figure out what CSA is. I think posters should stop using abbreviations and just spell out what they are talking about. Not everyone knows what you mean.
