Hancock family
Billygoat...
I don't recognize any of the cities you mentioned, but the Hancock's... we had a LOT of them. I think there were three brothers and their wives. All the men were considered VERY weak though and rarely came to the meetings. Two of their wives were "strong". And all the kids... poor things...

I was sure a bolt of lightening was going to come down and hit me when I clicked on FreeMinds the first time!!
bythesea...
I think that was the website that REALLY gave me the willies!
I was telling my "never been a JW, computer geek brother-in-law" about it, and he just had the strangest look on his face... like what the heck is this girl smoking?!
so today i'm at the assembly at my daughter's school.
i'm a pta geek so i know all the teachers pretty well.
one of them comes and whispers "i have a j-dub kid in my class, i could use some tips as to how i can help her out".
Hi, Princess!
I'm a PTA geek too. I showed one teacher what it said in a Watchtower about Christmas... she threw it back at me and said, "OMG!"
They all know how I feel about the witnesses and that I used to be one.
I feel really ripped off. I didn't get to celebrate the holidays when I was little... and now... it's politically incorrect! I just roll my eyes everytime we can't do something at school for the holidays. It's like being a JW all over again.

I want to say im sorry, sorry to my children, sorry to the teachers (who had to witness what I put my kids through) and im sorry to all of you whoes parents never said sorry.
Thank you for that. For a few seconds, I thought I could hear MY mother talking, but.... no.
Really, it's not your fault. We have ALL fell victim to their mind control.

I remember what a creepy feeling I got when I first logged on to Freeminds. LOL! The hair was standing up on my arms!
It all seems so silly now.

Wake up and start thinking for herself and making her own decisions. Join JWD and start posting her opinions.
Nah, not my Mom. She's 74 (I think). Doesn't own a computer and probably never will. I've tried to buy her one. She's probably afraid that APOSTATES will come out of the speakers or something.
