for all those df'd people out there, you know the rumor about the annual encouraging call we are supposed to get?
well my df'd sister and i were talking and we had a couple thoughts over this.
our brother-in-law is an elder-of the regional building committee type.
OTWO,
You are right, I am smokin' HOT!
I went 6 1/2 years before they decided to visit me, just prior to a new CO's first visit (covering their arses). We met, and I showed them Paul Hoeffel's letter about the Organizations UN affiliation. They promised me they would get back to me on it. Fat chance.

i thought maybe the gb got one thing right.
that is stating that only spiritually weak brothers and sisters would go on those sites.
however, to my shagrin....almost everyone i met was quite strong in the organization, but just wanted more friends.
I haven't checked it in years, but I have a dummy account on JWMatch. I just wanted to see how many desperate JW's are on there.

there is a training program in the c.i.a.
and f.b.i.. you tell an interrogator 3 things about yourself.
one them has to be a lie.. if they can tell which statement is the lie, you flunk.. .
okay,
1. I stole a car once.
2. I saved three people from drowning in one year.
3. I have 3 DWI's.

love covers a multitude of differences......... for those of us who wanna have 'spicier' discussions why not open up a gabbly chat or establish a thread on jwo, and post the link.. site owners have the right to set their own standards, just like shop owners can post "no shoe, no shirt, no service".
this world is not perfect, we are not always gonna agree, but many times we can agree to disagree.
many do disagree (others were taken aback by a certain spammed photo) but united we stand divide we fall.
y,
I am in on the group hug, I am part of the "cuddly club."

hey everybody,.
i have tried in the past to defend others when i thought they were being abused.. case 1: a gay poster was banned, and i lobbied to get him reinstated to this board.
eventually, he was able to come back on.
Hey everybody,
I have tried in the past to defend others when I thought they were being abused.
Case 1: A gay poster was banned, and I lobbied to get him reinstated to this board. Eventually, he was able to come back on. But I received restrictions for doing this.
Case 2: A woman felt abused by another poster on this board. She would boo-hoo over the phone to me almost every night, and then run back to this person. When I stuck up for her on this board, a lobbying campaign started against me, spearheaded by the person that she was complaining about. She of course stabbed me in the back, as well as the gay man that I had lobbied for in the past. And of course, in that battle, I was restricted again, and the bad guy got off Scott free.
Do you think that I will stick my neck out again????
Fat chance - fight your own battles!

i was wondering if anyone had ever experienced a n.d.e.
has anyone ever felt that they were visited by a family member/loved one who had passed on?.
i have read that some scientists theorize that n.d.e.
I guess I had one.
I was in a head-on collison in 1981, and was hurt pretty badly, bleeding both internally and externally. I remember a calm and piece coming over me, even though I was a mess after the accident. I had one hell of a time catching my breath after impact, but then after that everything was like slow motion. I felt warm (could have been the blood), and was almost trippin' (shock). I remember when the paramedics were trying to cut me out of the car, I helped them with the sunroof even though they told me not to move.
They put me on a backboard, which hurt like hell. I do not remember the ambulence ride to the hospital, but it took some time. I just wanted to go to sleep, I was so at peace.
No great white light, but I wouldn't have minded checking out at that point. I was happy. It happened on the way to the Book Study, and I thought that me and the "Big J" were covered. The pain of healing, getting all sewn up, and rehab took care of the good feelings though!
Don't know about an afterlife, and right now I really don't care. I was in critical condition for about a week, and had enough stitches to make a suit. My internal organs finally stopped bleeding, and I did not require blood to live, but it probably would have helped, thank Whatever.
And I am still here 27 years later. Only the good die young.

P.S. My knees are still screwed up, any Orthopedic surgeon want to cut me a break?
i've been reading a few pages of threads from saturday until today and i can't understand why some,(actually very few) try to damage this site.
this is one of a handful of (ex)jw sites that really helps people get out of the organization.
the interaction that we have here shows anyone how we can leave the so- called "truth" and enjoy life!
Jeffro,
I respectfully reply, that I think that the living room metaphor is apropos to this situation.
Sometimes you have to hit dolts in the side of the head with a shovel to open their minds.

as some of you are aware i have been going to aa meetings since the new year.
the "god thing" linked to the aa was a real dilemma for me.. since this time i have researched well the jw doctrines and come to the realisation that to have a personal relationship with a higher power i do not need to believe in the witness doctrine.. i am at a point where i have been considering how i personally would interprate a higher power.. i have met someone within the aa who is an ex jw and have just had a conversation with him on the phone, which has got me thinking about this.. now he has said that his faith now has been built by replacing one brick at a time so to speak.
giving an illustration of his faith being like a building, he can replace an old brick with a new one until he gets a new building all of his own making.
dig,
I am glad you found that XJW AA'er.
The longer I am out, the more agnostic/atheist I have become. No one in AA around here can relate, and I feel a bit isolated.
Good luck,
JK

welcome to august's book club thread.. first my apologies for getting this thread posted late.
it's been a crazy month/summer for me.. this month we are discussing 1984 by george orwell.
this book was suggested by sad emo.
I love your choice for this month, Silence! I was actually assigned to read 1984 as an eighth grader in my advanced English class. I loved it, but it haunted me for years (in retrospect, for good reasons).
Just a sidenote (not a highjack), the book The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses would be great companion reading.
