  Cell phones and brain tumors?

  by doogie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey guys,.

  remember a few years ago when cell phones were first really catching on and there was a big deal about the radiation possibly causing brain tumors?

  supposedly, some people were turning up with tumors on the side of their head that they use their cell phones on.

  anyone read SURVIVOR by chuck palahniuk?

  by doogie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yeah, i'm not sure how to spell his last name.

  he's the guy that wrote fight club.. i read this book a while ago and was amazed at the way he describes cult life and especially post-cult life.

  the story is about a guy that left a cult and the premise is he's the only left on a plane that is almost out of gas and he's telling his life story into the plane's black box so that something will be left after he's gone (i thought that was a great idea for a book).. i was sure chuck palah...whatever-his-name-is used to be a jw.

  my non-JW girlfriend emailed my JW mom today

  by doogie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last week, my girlfriend wrote an email that she intended to send to my mom.

  my jw parents have never spoken to jessica in the 3 years that we?ve been together (my loooooong story was on the board last week?don?t worry, i refuse to write anymore details than i have to in this post?my fingers are still cramped up?).

  anyway, the email was to be their first (and last, probably) communication.

  ex-JW for life?

  by doogie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey guys.. i have a question.

  i noticed that when i go online i'll hit a couple of news websites, maybe check my email, but eventually i always seem to find my way to some sort of jw related site.

  yeah, i know, that's not a question...hold on, i'm getting to it.... is there a time when an ex-jw should become an ex-ex-jw?
