  I'd say Thoreau would last about 10 minutes if he were resurrected into Jehovah Land.

  That is so true Mrsjones. The hardest part for JW is working up the courage to set the ball in motions. It isn't easy but I think it is easier than live a lie.

  well its been a few years since my two oldest and key employees/inlaws testified against me for actually doing interesting and thorough research about things i had legitimate questions about....and was foolish or wise enough to share it with my friends and family lmao!

  and its been over a year since i was read out as a da apostate...(and kinda vocal about it so i am pretty much the anti-christ poster child around here).... maybe it is another thread but i cant believe these guys have not quit and they said they might due to bad conscience and pressure from elders/others...we are talking 10 to 20+ year employees and one husband wife team in that group...but also an elders wife part time of only a few years (all of whom i still love btw)...a superfine pioneer and her ms husband who is mr big in rbc stuff...and most have zero retirement except for what i have funded the past 12 years...i have had a pretty good business for a long time with never any real goal of making a lot of money because that was for sure a forbidden goal...and i did not want to look materialistic lmao!!!!!!.

  but now with concerns about forever funding my own health care insurance as i always have, and losing half my assets in divorce and paying alimony for the next decade...it dawned on me that i can and should focus on growing the heck out of my biz as i think me and all my employees are gonna need a lot more money than they now have... if we want to stay in the usa anyway.... so i had a meeting and told everone there was a reason for our recent growth...and why for the first time in my life i am actually excited about it getting huge instead of being afraid of that...and how for personal reasons i never really thought about the need for a big retirement fund or saving for heath care at all until my late thirties probably...but that i have decided i am going to make a bunch more money now and am focusing on that for the first time ever...and that they need to make a bunch more money too believe it or not...now they have been very excited and into their jobs and how well they are doing them...so i shared my plans with them and said they can all stay on board and enjoy the fruits of our own hard labors...or they can get the hell off the bus...nobody has turned in their notice.

  I read that MGM bought the rights to "From the Dust Return" and plan to make it into a movie. It will make a great movie if it is done right. RIP Ray.

  WT magical toys & Republicans Gay marriage, are they the biggest issues?

  while not related, it seems that some small issues are being singled out when there are much much bigger fish in need of frying.

  While their friends are stealing the country they are trying to divert our attention so we don't notice. The afterbirthers like Donald Trump are still going on about President Obamas birth cerificate. People having no health insurance, women being paid less than men, corporate greed. All umimportant to them compared to the issue of two people of the same sex (who may have already been living together for years) wanting to get married so they can have the same rights as everyone else.

  As for the Watchtower they have always been about the petty. Smoking, long hair, beards, women wearing slacks. All stupid little issues that have nothing to do with anything important yet to the WT they are eternal life or death issues.

  hello to all my jwn friends.. it has been a long while since i posted but it's only because all of you helped us so much.

  i recently directed a facebook friend to my very first post on jwn - high profile case seeking reinstatement - i cannot believe how far we have come and i attribute much of it to the help and support we received from all of you on this website.. we are really not hiding our ex-jw status anymore at all.

  i think we have many of you on our facebook as friends at this point.

  did the generation change or the child abuse revelation spawn this many threads?.

  I am seriously considering getting a Sparlock tattoo.

  That would be pretty funny. I was thinking it would be cool have him painted on a surfboard but in my case it might lead to divorce.

  I think the whole thing is hilarious. They're being pre-ridiculed. The video hasn't even been released yet to JWs at the assemblies as they planned to and it is already being mocked world wide. It is like you are this dummy who thinks you have come up with the best idea in the world and when you present it everyone just laughs at you because the flaws in your idea are so obvious. Good on em. I wish them many more totally stupid ideas.
