  "The Truth."

  "Experience."

  And there was a watchtower study back in the early 90's that talked about Jesus as "The Great Potentate." I was like "Potentate?" Lets go straight to the stupid word thesaurus why don't we.

  I am hurt, my wife had a miscarriage and still my family didn't contact me

  two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.

  it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.

  i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.

  Sorry to here that.

  When I was df'ed I knew the rules, I was a single guy so I had very minimal contact with my family. But if anything had happened on that scale, even though I wouldn't have expected it, my mom probably would have been there or at least said something. I look back on so many things now though and am stunned at the level of in which this religion strips away basic human emotion.

  has anyone ever...?

  by bonnzo in

  2. friends

  while lurking, fading, or like me, a disgruntled dud who wishes to remain anonymous, found out that a fellow poster was a relative, friend, or just someone you knew?

  i found out about one when i first registered and eventually revealed myself because i trust this person.

  i just found another one that i dont trust at all!

  One guy I know said to me, "Hey, I saw your picture on JWD." And I know another ex-witness that I got to talking to a while back that said he used to post on here, I didn't get his online name though.

  If you wear that suit long enough, it might come back into fashion

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i always got a kick out of the witness fashion sense, or lack there of.

  i would see these old men wearing light blue and burgundy suits, in the 1990's.

  when people said something, like "that is an out of date or fashion suit," they would act like it does not matter.

  Oh, what a classic.

  I always had the problem of not being able to afford a closet full of $300 suits. And I noticed other people having that same problem when I would see suits from the 60's or early 70's being worn.
