not wanting to hijack or divert that topic i ask the question here.. .

adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.

after seeing all the new people from wisconsin today i decided to come out of my lurker mode.

i have been practically obsessed with this board since i discovered it, and i give everyone here credit for helping my husband and i leave the borg.

i had been in 11 years, and my husband 27 years, along with our 3 small children.

2. experiences
after lurking around this and other forums, i decided to add my personal experience.

first i was raised in the so called "truth" i was forced to attend meeting in the 60's when i was a teen and i later quit going to the kh in the early 70's, when i graduated from high school and left my parents house.

in the 90's i started a book study with a really nice jw sister and attended several jw meeting, conventions and memorials, i was ready to get baitized, but i decided not to go through with it.

What is the most OUTRAGEOUS thing you've ever seen an apostate do?
by GetBusyLiving in
1. jw

hey i was just wondering if some of you wouldnt mind relating some crazy stories of things that apostates have done to get attention of witnesses and break them out of the trance.

i would think right after the 'stay alive till '75' fiasco there must have been some really pissed off and vocal people!

The less condensed version of the Wanderlustguy story
by wanderlustguy in
1. jw
2. friends
the quest for the truth?where does reality start?

maybe by finding where the lies stop?

what is a lie, is it a blatant untruth, can it be simply creating the understanding of what not to ask about?

You know you're NOT a JW anymore when...(add some)

you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).

when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).

being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.
