  Tink,

  What you did yesterday was wonderful. How rewarding to be able to give of your special talents to help someone in that situation. Perhaps this will be the beginning of a very fulfilling chapter in your life.

  You're an inspiration!

  How about Janet when she was in "Good Times" with JJ Walker? She was a real cutie doing her Mae West impression!

  I remember a few of the young dubs in the cong. being rather proud to call MJ one their own back in the pre-Thriller days. Finally, somebody "cool" and loved the world o're who was also a dub making us feel alittle better about our wack religion. Kinda gave us clout...for alittle while anyway....or so we thought

  since i am new on this forum, just thought i'd share my story.

  (though it seems typical on here) born into jw's.

  parent's nutty jw friends told them to raise children like nazi's, and not allow them to do anything, or associate with anyone other than jw kids.

  Hi Wing Commander,

  Everything you say and feel resonates with so many here on the board. Someday the tower will get their comeuppance.

  A big welcome to you! You seem to have a great way with words as well as a healthy sense of humor. Keep postin!

  have you ever done something so imbarrasing that you can't make yourself look back or even think about the deed for a very long time?.

  several months ago, i had a real bad day.

  i was very bummed about my life and the losses i felt due to my jw experience.

  Aw.....You Guys!!! Thanks for your encouraging thoughts and wonderful wit about my little cyber "indiscretion". I do feel better and am ready to put it behind me...just wanted to get that off of my chest and move on.

  I had hoped that I could come here though and confess, shed some crocodile tears, PLEAD for mercy and not have to face the wrath of the dreaded JC. But, perhaps I was being presumptuos and I see from your comments.......NOT SO FAST SISTAH!!!!!!! Being humbled to the bone by your heavy but much deserved judgement of me..I will continue to seek yours and maybe even God's approval for reinstatement. I hope to do this in record time, maybe 2 months as opposed to the mandatory 6.

  I love you guys!!

  Chakka

  PS Troucul, I know that you are very worthy to be flirted with.....but I have repented. I know there are many others here who will be happy to oblige

  Several months ago, I had a real bad day. I was very bummed about my life and the losses I felt due to my JW experience. I started to have some drinks, got blitzed, came online and openly flirted with a poster here. I was so imbarrased the next day and the following months that I couldn't even go back and read what was said until today. OMG! I am so imbarrased and ashamed at dishonoring, not only the poster, but my family as well as myself.

  I wish to apologize to any whom I may have offended or made uncomfortable that evening. This was so uncharacteristic and I feel truly terrible about it.

  Just wanted to clear the air and say that I'm sorry.

  Regretfully,

  many people say that they just faded away and never went back to the org.

  i also faded away and i never felt any true love and friendship in the org.

  brothers and sisters were like soldiers who were working for a common goal of making new recruits.

  My mother warned me about the JW's before I became one. She said "you know, after you become a member, they don't care about you anymore." Of course, at the time she was SATAN to me so I paid no attention. I don't know how she knew that but I wish I would have listened.

  They often viewed the weak(or those faltering because they were alone, or widowed, fatherless, personal problems,etc) as unspiritual and dangerous and treated them as such...the complete opposite of what the scriptures say to do. This perpetuates the situation to where those on the fringe(and others who wake up) eventually disinfranchise themselves when they begin to see that they are actually valueless among these people. Because the JW's entire worship is "corban"....all energy and effort is for their temple worship(organization.. FS, meetings) and things like real christian love and true friendship for the individual are tossed by the wayside....this, to me, is the great tragedy of the JW cult. They have completely and unequivitively missed the spiritual point of it all. How hard is it to understand that LOVE is the ONLY thing that matters?

  Yep, mama was right......I shoulda listened.

  it had to do with the "organization" and we were supposed to review it with every new convert, it more or less praised the organization, and had lots of pictures of krooklyn.. .

  anyone remember its name, and if it is on the 99 cd-rom?.

  i'm doing some research,.
