Hi everyone,
For some reason I just wondered if anyone knows where the bigwigs of the borg are buried? We know about Russel and da Judge, but how about Freddie, Nathan and the others who have kicked the bucket?
I know there is a cemetery at WT farm.......is it there they are rotting?

as a stay-at-home mom, i can occasionally find a few minutes every few days to play on the computer, but the amount of activity on this forum during us working hours is pretty surprising.
folks from other parts of the world notwithstanding, how are you american members able to post during work hours?.
I'm retired and have become quite skilled in goofing off. Not for long though.....I start a part time job on Monday driving access van for the elderly.

"they are in my opinion, a disgrace!
" i have posted about their racest practices & unwillingness to distribute watchtowers & awake magazines to everyone on prior occasions..... i "finally" see one of them distributing the magazines at the bus stop and she is walking along "with a cigarette hanging out the side of her mouth", smoking while she is doing it.. the witnesses in this area need a better attitude about what they are doing!!
Dollie,
Just how stupid do you think we are?
Any one of us xjw's know that any JW... whether they are rebellious or a slave to it all would not do something like this.
When was the last time you had a reality check? (guess I'll be called a racist pig again)

my childs bithday is coming up in october and this year im going for it.i have her present bought and everything is in place to give her fantastic day to remember.for to long i have doubted this unfair policy of the borg and push has finally come to shove!.
anyone else doing the same either priavately or openly
Celebrate your childs birthday...............It is a special occasion.........VERY SPECIAL!
I have been out for 4 years now and this past Sept. 2.........I wrapped and sent presents to my daughter for the first time in my and her life. It felt so good to do that and she loved it. She is now 33 and an xjw too!
Just wait 'til Xmas.............I will go into a small debt to really do it for the first time. Anyone who means anything to me is going to get a personally wrapped present. My wrapping abilities need a lot of practice since I never did it before.
And I'm sending out Xmas cards too!

this week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.
you have to leave immediately.
a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.
P.S.
There is no doubt in my mind that some I know are trolls......on this board and others. Because before I faded and computers were becoming the 'in thing'......I heard many conversations that "some of the Apostate sites are soooooo bad"
Whoopty f***ing do!

On my front door is my house number. Since reading this topic, I was thinking about adding the words under it.......
Ex Jehovah's Witness Lives Here
Wonder if I would still have mags left in the door?
But then.........I wonder if I have been outed by lurkers on jwd........since I haven't had a knock or a phone call since I came on this board in May, 2004.........YIPPEE!

Englishman,
The intentions of those trying to do this are very good. But I wouldn't be surprized if Brooklyn tries to put it down........just like they put down everything else that well intentioned dubs try to do to help their fellow believers.
Yes......there are some good hearted dubs in the world but thier loyalty to Brooklyn takes precedence over love and kindness.

just wondering who may have and what they thought of it.. thanks orbi
Orbison,
I started going to AA in 1989 when I was an elder. My drinking progressed from a moderate pleasure to wanting it constantly after I became an elder and saw too much bs in the cong. and how those in position throughout the circuit were more concerned about their positions than in shepherding the flock. I drank to try to stifle everything about being a JW.
AA saved me and my marriage. And because I now saw that there were good people who were not JW's, I started thinking even more. Guess it worked because in 1991 I resigned as an elder and it took another 9 years to start fading.
I think the concept of AA is great but too many in it look to it as a sort of religion (even though they don't see it that way.) Some people who are court ordered to attend meetings get a little scared about the God stuff that is talked about. Myself.......I feel that I learned what spirituality really is by associating with people there and learning that God loved me and I don't have to go knocking on doors for my salvation. I still stay in touch with AA and attend a few meetings now and then. The friendships that were made with AA people are the strongest friendships I have. It seems that AAers accept friends unconditionally. Even if you do 'slip up' you are always welcomed back.
Even though meeting formats vary throughout the country, the same 12 steps and 12 traditions are followed. I have seen a lot of people turn their lives around once they got help and became sober. This is not to say that AA is the only way to get sober. Some people don't want any connection with the "higher power" concept and there are other recovery groups where people have also had successin getting and staying sober. Just like us xjw's.......some want nothing to do with God and others have found churches that meet their spiritual need. It's what the person wants!
I also believe that recovery from anything has a lot to do with the mind. If a person wants to drink again......no amount of AA meetiings will keep him/her from doing so.
In my area is a coffee shop run by an AA friend of mine and there are meetings there throughout the week. Since the coffee shop is mainly a labor of love by him and his family, there isn't much profit generated. Some of us besides his family try to volunteer time behind the counter once in awhile. It is a place for anyone who has or thinks they have a drinking problem to come and hang out or attend the meetings in the beautiful remodeled basement. But any and all are welcome to come in. The place is called the 514 Club.....and a neon sign in the window says....."Friends of Bill and Bob"......(the founders of AA.) Another neon sign is the triangle in the circle symbol of AA.
In fact........that is where I am going as soon as I get off the computer. It's time for my afternoon coffee and I have to pick up a key for the front door since I am opening the place up tomorrow and working behind the counter.
Ok........I'm going on and on.........so it's time to shut up.
I don't have all the answers but if I can help, I will.

I have known people with many academic degrees and high paying jobs and people who are constitutionally incapable of holding a job because of their lack of mental intellegence.
Some of the degreed people did not have an iota of common sense and I wondered how they got so far in life! Then I realized that they had enough money to pay for everything they needed even if that paying meant that they had to hire someone to reset their GFI switch. (the electrical button on some outlets like in the kitchen or bathroom)
Then the incapable people I've known always had enough to eat and their basic needs met from the meager wages they got from menial jobs or assistance. They (for the most part) were the most happy people!
Intelligence is the ablility to survive to the extent that you are happy with what you got! (to the vernacular prude........"have")
