Marvin,
You're not saying that JWs are not complete mindless drones, are you? That has been an exJW axiom since my early days on these boards. Now they don't all do what they're told? Amazing turn around!!

Thanks Scully,
Not for the original post but for the opportunity to see the display of the immense lack of fellow feeling some had in reaction to it.
Disgusting. And some here claim to have risen above the JWs? No way in hell!

James Thomas,
All I know is that the happiest people I have known, people who are truly happy and at peace, are those who help their fellow or the earth. People who do good. Peace to you.

Revival of the Old H2O
by binadub inhey, oldtimers:.
is anyone interested in a revival of the old h2o?.
it's just in its beginnings for any who might be interested.. in spite of the dark star wars mistique of the site, if you are interested in checking it out, go to this url: http://www.hourglass2.com/forum/.

I was there. For years. It (Rick) shot itself in the foot. With an automatic weapon. Many times.
No thanks. Once one puts the lights out, they cannot shine again. H20 had its shining moments in the limelight and Rick should appreciate that former glory. H20 was the Mecca for serious researchers, wackos and dub apologists. I will not forget those great memories. What I consider to be my best articles were posted there. (And then lost in cyberspace when it went defunct).
Joseph Malik has captured that essense and may still have the keys to access that board and capture the great things it did in its day.
Farkel
Farkel, don't get your boxers all twisted up between your nethers. This new H20 site has nothing to do with Rick.
It's just an attempt to provide a place for those who prefer a more sane place than what has become of the H20 you and the other great xjw-gods have exited.
Hey! Maybe you could try somethin' new by just going there and actually taking a look for yourself rather than making snap judgements.
Also, it's time to stop resting on your laurels cause most here don't remember. Have any new stuff for us?

May 28--Four years since Dateline's JW sex abuse program aired. Results?
by AndersonsInfo insunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.

Barbara,
I know tens of thousands have left the Watchtower organization because they investigated the allegations made on Dateline and other TV programs, and were convinced all claims were true.
I would like to believe that Barbara. Do you have any definitive proof of this?
Thanks,
IW

What hit me when I first left was the realization that I no longer considered ordinary people standing in the supermarket checkout line as somehow different than me or my JW friends but rather only as peers trying to struggle with the same issues and strifes I had. On the one hand a very humbling experience but on the other a rude awakening to the mind control I suffered in the Org.

Were Most Of The Elders Dumb--- That You Knew???
by minimus ini'd say out of 10 elders, the average "sharp" ones are 2 or 3.

Most of the elders I knew were just regular guys trying to support their families and do their JW jobs. Not too different from the men in my neighborhood or my daughter's school....some smart, some average and some just plain no good.

One of the long term effects of growing up a JW...
by Pwned infor me anyways.. i still have nightmares about demon attacks.
that was the one belief that really had a grip on me growing up.
i was terrified of demons and even thought i was being attacked one night for bringing home a toy with a pagan symbol (ying-yang) on it.

The Watchtower teaches fear of demons. Ironically, it's the very human and fleshly men in the Watchtower hierarchy that are the cause of the pain and trouble in the Society more than any demons!
Terrible dreams are very common, don't let it get you down. The advice to seek some professional help is a good one and may calm your anxiety. Also, sometimes prayer can help.
Hope all goes well for you.
