  i am new this site and would like to introduce myself.

  i am 36 years old/young, female and live in the usa.

  i drifted from the jw's in 1990. i have only recently started to research the jw way because i was afraid to second guess what i was taught for 26 years.

  Cassilline, I forgot to mention-among the diversitie you will find here is that of beliefs. There are ex-JWs, loyal JW Defenders, athiests, agnostics, those with eastern beliefs, Mormon, etc. But one thing is for sure-all think and express themselves freely. Even the Loyalists think freely, because, as you well know, the Society has warned against visiting internet sites like this one and associating with ones it calls apostates. Dont let that term scare you-it is so misused in WTS lingo, that I doubt most JWs know the true meaning of the word.

  You go on being like the Boreans, nd see for yourself if the things you have been taught are indeed true.

  Also, I like your signature at the end of your post. With a motto lik that, you will do just fine.

  Hello Cassiline, and welcome to the forum.

  Guilt and thought control is one of the primary ways the WTS uses to keep members in check. You have taken the first step in ridding yourself of that guilt by researching the facts from outside sources. You will need to decide if the "TRUTH" is indeed the "TRUTH". No one can make that determination for you.

  If you find the time, go to the personal experiences forum, and check out some of the life stories posted by some of the members here on the board. I am sure that you will be enlightened.
  Your participation, as well as your experiences are most welcome here. You will find open-minded, albeit diverse persons and personalities. Sometimes folks truly bump heads here, but most mean well. You will find comedy, dramedy (LOL), and sometimes outright goofyness, but most importantly, you will find lots of caring as you seek answers to important questions about the WTS, its doctrines, and history.

  Once again, wecome, and enjoy your participation here.

  Boozy

  p.s. I almost forgot-you will also find freedom to express yourself w/o fear of repurcussions by the thought police of thw WTS.

  Truly disturbing. I guess that ANY fantasy put to paper can be used against a person and commit them to incarceration. I know that this involved child porn fantasies, but our thoughts are all we have left in a society which continues to strip us of our rights.

  Hell, just watch the LIFETIME Channel. Its full of women and children as victims. Are they going to jail all the writers and actors?

  Consider this possible aspect-journaling is a way suggested by mental health professionals to "get stuff out of ones system". Maybe this was this guy's way of NOT committing a crime.

  The THOuGHT POLICE are alive and on the prowl.

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  YAWWWWWNNNN More smoke and mirrors from the All UN-Knowing YK. Is no secret that the economy is on a pretty unstable rollercoaster these days. As a matter of history, any financial specialist will tell you that there generally 3 down years in a 10 year span when deaing with the most volatile stocks on the market. Add to that, the holidays are approaching, and retailers will be watching their bank accounts pretty much starting with the beginning of the fall season.

  Add that up, and you may have by October what may be the outgrowth of the "mild recession" we are experiencing RIGHT NOW. The severity of such remains to be seen.

  So, YK is NOT uttering any kind of PROPHECY, he's just riding the wave of uncertainty the economy has been experiening for some time now.

  Everyone, save your $100-go out and eat in a nice restaurant or something.

  it airs on abc, usually at 10. check your schedule.

  May I suggest a MIND ERASER??
  A tricky drink though-it is comprised of Kahlua, vodka and club soda. Properly prepared it is layered withKahlua on the bottom, vodka in the middle, and club soda on top. Drink thru a thin cocktail straw very quickly and you get the taste sensations starting with Kahlua, ending with the bubbly sensation of the club soda which aids in that

  "pleasantly lit" feeling

  which you seek.

  Farkel Hits the Bread Line

  i had a very positive experience today which maybe not-so-coincidentally coincided with my recent comments on matthew 25.. it was only my second personal experience with babylon the grape in my entire life.

  my first was when one of my daughters got married in a catholic church over three years ago.

  i actually sat inside the catholic chapel and watched her priest perform the ceremony.

  Farkel, excellent example of just how misguided the WTS is. From my years in the Borg, I recollect how they will suggest even LOYAL Dubs go to every gubment agency first before they will offer any sort for material help. If not a JW yet, one must at least be a promising "prospect" (studyng, planning baptism, yada, yada, yada) before they bend to help.

  Ahhh yes, where is the LOVE?
