Hi everyone I don't post much but always check in to see what's happening. Anyway I go to a church where there is another ex-jw who stays in contact with a few other ex-jw's. He asked me if I would like to get together with a family I knew growing up out on Long Island. I said I'd love to, I am so excited to reminece about old times when I was a little kid. It will be my first get together with anyone from my past who left the "TRUTH"!!!!(LOL)

Hi everyone, haven't posted in a very long time. Some may remember my post about my brother-in-law with cancer. He passed away at 52 on Labor Day, so sad for my husband.
Anyway I thought only the people here could understand this and shake their heads.
My 11 yr old son is selling magazine for school drive. We usually just buy them ourself, but he really, really wanted to try and sell them to people on his own. He took my phone book and called all our family. Everyone said sure I need a new subscription or what have you, EXCEPT my JW brother. He says to my son no thanks , but I have some magazines for you and laughs! My son just looked so dejected. Meanwhile, he proceeds to tell me he and his wife and another couple are on there way upstate NY to help out where the need is great for the week. Yea right take off from work, go free load off some witlesses, but don't buy a $12.00 subscription from your nephew.

My top 10 listof what surprised about life out of the Org.
10. Jw's are the most negative people on earth.
9. Nobody's trying to persecute JW's.
8. Smurfs are not demonized, nor is anything else.
7. The hypocrisy of the Watchtower is Bigger than I ever imagined.
6. Apostates are really COOL and very very SMART.
5. Many religious people know more about the bible than JW"S.
4. JW's really don't care if you leave, but their jealous so they try to screw you.
3. Life is just so GOOD.
2. Celebrating holidays is really Fun.
1. There is no TRUTH to the "truth".

Again Thank you, It's so amazing how great people are here(unlike the congregation).
Please no one be jealous, we have waited along time to do this! It's a long flight for us from Connecticut but we finally just said " we need to do this now before the boys won't want to go with us". I really feel like it's going to be like paradise. I hope I'm right.

My JW dad's says .. Hi I'm not home, but leave your name and number. Have a good day AND STAY SAFE !
So typical JW waiting for something bad to happen.
