i urge members to scour the archives of jwn and bump quaility info to the top.
I feel not the urge, sorry.
But if I recall, archive threads by AlanF, Dogpatch, HillaryStep, Farkel, Littletoe, and of course, LadyLee were all good in terms of content and/or interesting dialogue. FunkyDerek and Abaddon cut to the crux of any issue with surgical precision. Many others whose names I don't recall offhand.

i am still new to the business of fading and once i stop attending the memorial with all the dubs around me, my former friends will definitly put my shepherding call on hold.
i am sure some of the friends faded quick and never turn their back toward the kingdom hall again.
i am curious if others took a longer approach to fading and dropping off completly.
The last time I was in a kh was for a memorial and that was 1992 or so. I had stopped attending regularly for a few years by that time and the memorial was the only time I did for a few, kinda like when people go to Christmas or Easter mass or something. But I stopped as I had to make the break from all that and was no longer interested in belief.
i am fairly new here.
i came across this site a few years ago and tried to join but i wasn't approved as a member for whatever reason.
well, recently i came across this site again and decided to reapply to be a member and it was approved.
Sup ND? How's it going, eh?
i was in my yard tonight with telescope watching jupiter.
jupiter is as close to the moon as it will be in the next 13 years.
to my surprise, the moon had a corona which is pretty rare for where i am standing.

Sex, drugs and rock n roll
Oh yea
please forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.
but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.
i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.
But if there are others with malicious intent who lurk here, couldn't they start a database of all these "fun" posts, and perhaps by a sort of trianglation of crossfire, nail someone's identity? Unlikely, I'm sure, but still a possibility?
Anything's possible but that would be far too much work and too orwellian, even for the average dub. And the higher up you go, the less concerned they are with individuals, in most organizations. So it's rather unlikely to be "outed" that way. More likely by befriending a poster under false pretenses.
It's always good policy to limit personal info on the web in general and be vague in direct contact until time and trials say otherwise. If of course, you've something to lose.
supposedly he was one of the most well known elders living in canada in the second half of the 20th century.
he lived in winnipeg for quite a time frome what i hear.
any of you guys heard of him?.
i don't recall the name but I wasn't any kind of uberdub back then
right now the congregations in winnipeg are undergoing major boundary changes which will be put in action at the beginning of february.
our congregation is supposed to find out today but i decided to ask some people i knew who went the previous meeting if we were going to be put together with the people at our old congregation who are shunning me.
even though they knew, they refused to tell me because "the society" told them not to tell us.
This happened here about 20 yrs ago or so as I recall, a few years after I left. The cong I went to was dissolved/absorbed into another and some properties were sold, at least the hall I went to was. I drive by it every now and then; it's on a major route. Seems like a lifetime ago.
