Remembering Stealth453
by Bumble Bee in

i'm not sure if there is anyone here anymore that remembers stealth, but if there is i just wanted to pass on the news that he passed away from a heart attack almost 2 years ago now.. i just found out myself today.

he had moved overseas and we lost contact.

he was in an area that he didn't always have reliable internet connections, so it wasn't uncommon for me to not hear from him for long stretches.

Is there a reason to remain a JW other than for family?
by cedars in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this strikes me as an important question.

in my short time on this forum it strikes me that many contributors are quite open about keeping a foot in both camps.

some are apparently even elders, serving in positions of authority within their respective congregations.

How the Internet saved my life

just a synopsis of this aspect of my story.

i hope others will join in and tell us how this modern marvel of communication affected your exit [or your investigation, or perhaps entrenching] from the organization.. we all have doubts at times.

mine were scattered over almost 5 decades, from the age of four when my mother accepted the religion.

i guess that my one year anniversary here has come.. i've made lots of friends... and perhaps a few enemies.. i've made people laugh... i've pissed people off.... i've made people think... i've made people cringe.... i've moved ahead in some areas of life... still stuck in some others.... i've had a lot of fun... i've had some tense moments and tears.... i've been able to make sense to people... spoke utter nonsense at other times.... to my 'fans' here: thanks for the support and having my back... .

to people who hate my guts: go ahead... take your best shot... .

either way, i win.
