this month marks 1 year since i have seen or spoken with family.
it's not the first time i've been through this.
disfellowshipped, reinstated, disassociated.
One valuable lesson I recieved form the Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society is that words like Mother, Father, Brother, Son... are just words. They describe a person who performs a certain function or occupies a particular space in your life. When that function or space is no longer performed or occupied, the word no longer carries any meaning aside from an entry in the dictionary.
That is very tough to read.
there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.
I would like to meet Leo, Blondie, the librarian, Farkel, Flipper and Outlaw.
there have been several threads about music the last few days, so i decided to start another.. this song absolutely makes me tear up every time i hear it.. .

just thought i'd share.
a friend of mine moved away about 10 years ago.
he was a ms at the time.
Good post. There are many out there like him.
Invite him to lurk here at JWN.
Jehovah witness....
why did you become a jehovah's witness ?.
initially upon entering the religion what were the positive things you experienced ?.
how did that particular way of thinking both benefit and harm you ?.
Had no choice.
regardless of your opinions of anonymous, they have been busy working against the watchtower society and may end up inflicting some serious damage soon.
anonymous has a very different culture than the xjw community.
they should not be seen as in alliance with us, even though we share some common goals.. anonymous tends to resent being viewed as a personal army for another person or group.
Musky has an interesting avatar...
i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?
the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.
jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.
Ohhhh, billeeeeee...
i found an article today that discusses the new batman movie.
growing up, i remember the batman and robin tv show from the 1960's, and i assumed that the dark knight movies would be along the same lines.
boy, was i wrong!!!
Woops, I was referring to "Rises". Non stop violence.

Great over view Sheep2slaughter.
But, warning......sustained and intense violence throughout the whole movie. It does not let up.
