  well, can you believe it, it has been a year since i timidly joined this forum!

  (yes me, i was very timid at first!

  i came looking to see if anyone else had the same experience as me in finding out that the wtbts is just another manmade organization with dangling carrots and big sticks.

  My thought on Ray

  by freedom96 in

  i never thought that i would post something about ray franz, and quite frankly, i have skipped most of the recent postings on the subject.. i was in my early teens when ray was df'd.

  i heard the gossip in the hall, and i had heard that this was the nephew of the president.

  my first thought was, that ray was a rebelious teenager.. it was not until much later that i found out who he actually was, and what position he had carried back at bethel.. i have not yet met the man, and who knows if i will ever have the opportunity.

  freedom96 says :

  How many of us have looked back and regretted actions that we had done? I would imagine all of us at some point have done something we were not proud of. But, hopefully we were given a second chance, an opportunity to apologize, and a chance to go forward. We certainly are not perfect.

  I don't understand the few people who accuse Ray of having been part of everything that's wrong in the Society.... Most posters on this board are ex-JWs, which means they were going door-to-door trying to convert people to join this cult they hate so much today.... People change....

  A tale of three JW sisters

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one morning three jw "sisters" went out in "mid-week field service" together.

  the oldest of the three sisters was a spinster in here late 60s who bore a remarkable resemblance both in her dress and attitude to comedian dana carveys "church lady" impersonation.

  as a "pioneer" who was already in the "truth" at a time when most of todays elders were either not yet born, or still in diapers, she was respected in her congregation in a grudging sort of way.

  Now TD, where is the end of the story ? That's where it ends on my screen :

  but because of its irony. When the subject came up later of how much field service time the

  A good old fashioned book burning

  by iggy_the_fish in

  2. experiences

  hulloo all,.

  to cut a very long and oft told story (on boards like this at any rate) very short, i was partially raised a jw (tho' never baptised), and now i've reached the stage where my very modest collection of dub literature must be disposed of.

  it's lived in a box in attics and high shelves in various houses for the last 12 years during which time i've been sh*t scared to go near it, but equally scared to get rid of it for fear of seriously pissing off his almightyness up in the heavens.. well, over the past year i've been through a few of the usual "eye openers", coc & the gentile times thingumygig whatsit doodah, and evolution books too.

  Welcome ! Don't worry about not being a baptized JW. Some on this board have never been JWs. Just interested in finding out what's behind the "curtain"...

  Now.... When should we send the stuff ? Now, or we wait until early December?

  I haven't done my shopping yet (I am "babysitting" two boys today) but I have a pretty good idea what I'm going to look for.
