i have had this nickname online for over five years.

when i signed up at this discussion board i really was looking for fellow jw believers, looking for some new freinds.

what i found was something so much better.

hey all.

any who have been reading my recent posts, know that they chronicle my unsuccesful attempts to prevent my wife's baptism.. it is unfortunate and clear to me that there is nothing i can do untill i really understand the problem.

i am currently reading steven hassan's, releasing the bonds.

Name ways in which the Watchtower could make JW life more "appealing"?

.

jw meetings are so dull, and so alike, that one can only become bored in no time.

what changes would you have made in the meetings or after the meetings to make jw life more appealing and still christian?

as you can see afin, from soj's thread started today, your pompous attitude is not going to get you anywhere here.

obviously we had an effect on soj and we will eventually have the same effect on you.

i for one don't like your preachiness or holier than thou attitude.

I have a Dilemma ... would appreciate some advice....
by stevenyc in

well, it appears that i?m in a bit of a quandary and would appreciate any advice anyone could give.

two days ago i announced that spring had finally arrived to some fellow new yorkers.

they tried to convince me that on the north east coast, spring is never certain until summer is here, nonetheless i was adamant that, ?spring had indeed arrived?, and took on full responsibility for such a (now obvious) brash statement.. .

What kind of Apostate are you?

i've been on this site now for a little while and think its brilliant and its been a tonic in getting things straight and for gathering research.

(thanks simon & ang).

in fact its difficult to get work done during the day because of reading posts on here.. a couple of months ago if someone wouldve asked me whether i was apostate i would have flatly refused partly because the indoctrination still has its effect even after a decade and the negative connotation attached to the word 'apostate' is still at the back of my mind.

Apostates, Hatred for the Org, leaving JWD
by wanderlustguy in
1. jw
2. friends
yesterday i watched a thread grow so fast it was insane.

that thread wasn?t about how bad the society was, it wasn?t about sex or drugs, it was what we thought could have been someone committing suicide, saying they had enough?life sucks and then....

then today i read a second posting of someone who has done an exhaustive study on the postings found within jwd (actually only the tame ones that are from people leaning more pro org than against) and determined what a hate filled sack of pus this place is.

You're My Reason For Why I Am

i would like for it to be known that my being apart of jwd has been an experience that has given me hope.

i've come to enjoy being a part of the online community, so much so that it's what i look forward to when my day involves something other than being here.

the only thing better than being here would be to experience being with you all, face to face.
