i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.

oh yeah????.

he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

We must be on the black list b/c we don't even get invites to the Memorial.. I suppose I should be happy . We did get an invite to Easter services at a local church and just might go.

Has This Site Ever Hurt You In Your Journey Out Of The JW Religion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

this site has gone through many metamorphosis over the years.

i believe it is a kinder, less edgy place tan it was a few years ago.

i wonder how many people were helped versus turned off by this place.

In the early years the debate and arguments were stimulating to read. I can have a thin skin so got hurt many times by what people would say. Still, at least on the board we had the freedom to argue and yell and even curse. I remember most of the board fallouts since 02 and some were hard to deal with. I visited other sites for about a year, but never posted much anywhere else. Even if I was not posting much here I was still reading. This board has always had the best information regarding what is happening in the JW world and I know if there is breaking news I'll find it here first.

A lot of people have passed through here (and sadly are no longer with us as they have passed on ) and I wish we had a Remembrance wall type forum for them.

15 Years of Jehovahs-Witness.com

by Simon in

yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.

i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.

the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!

I have been here in one form or another ( two incarnations ) since 02, about the time Silent Lambs went on 20/20. It was an exciting time. The forum has helped me a lot. I was suffering a lot of sorrow and intense bitterness when I first found the forum. B/C of so many amazing posters ( some wrote books and now have sites of their own) I was able to see I was not alone. There is no way to pay for this kind of therapy, it would cost a fortune.

Thanks so much to you and your wife and all the amazing posters who have passed through here. Some are no longer with us. I wish we had a Remembrance forum or page.

I have only met a few in person at the old ApostaFests. I was so paranoid about being outed .

Finally, This forum has been on my Favorites Bar since 02. Happy Birthday!! 15 years.
