First, for buffalosrfree, I have never been a Witness ( please check bio ) . I think shunning is one of the most hateful things the Witnesses do and there is no excuse for it , no matter what they say. To turn away one's family does nothing but break hearts in the shunned and builds pretentiousness in the shunner . . . it's a lose-lose situation. My comment was about forgiveness and I stand by it. It doesn't matter what anyone has done; if they are truly repentent God will forgive them. Why won't man ?

So, many of you are ex-witnesses who now understand the real meaning of ' the truth' ? I don't think so. On this issue, Fairmind, who I believe is still a Witness is the one that makes sense and speaks from the heart.

And, according to the news story, the kids were special education children. Unbelievable !
" When an adult or even myself look at the picture . . .", Ocala police spokesman Russ Kern said.
Now THAT says it all !

The John Denver Issue, vote now.
by londoner inthis is for those of you who sent me a private message saying you dont believe me, your letting your old jw traits come out, you know, not believing things when the facts stare you in the face unless it comes from the org.
maybee you should go back and re join them.. to confirm what happened .
i was at a john denver concert in the uk many years ago, he asked all catholics to stand up, after he got them seated he did the same with church of england, then the same with a couple of other religions, after he asked all jw's to stand up he announced that the concert would not go on untill they had all left and he then left the stage.

I APOLOGIZE RE MY JOHN DENVER COMMENTS
by londoner inok i accept that it was bad to say a plane crash was too good for him, no excuse.. .
for those of you who dont know what i'm on about it's regarding my post "the john denver issus, vote now" .
having been subjected to 50 yrs of preducial abuse while i was a jw can have a pretty lasting effect towards some of the people who were responsible for dishing it out, you should have been at the concert it made me feel sick.

" A plane crash was too good for him . . .". Londoner, you're not from London. A Londoner has too much class to say something like that.

When did you notice the yearly pattern of JW life?
by truthseeker inhow long was it before you became aware that your activities as a jw were the same this year as last year?.
discounting the regular "5 meetings a week" and "saturday field service", let's look at the average year in a jw's life, beginning with the september service year... september.
if you haven't been to your district convention you will this month.
