JWD increasingly Popular (Statistics)
by KW13 instatistics are up this month for jwd, means an increase from dubs/ex dubs/people looking at this site and probably others like it, the statistics are very good, everything is up!.
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=www.jehovahs-witness.com&url=jehovahs-witness.com - visit that link for more info and stats .
while this would mean more new people, i am sure it would also mean more people who are watchtower apologists.

I think it has to do with "reverse psychology". The summer conventions stressed, no Internet. Naturally, people can not resist...including some Bethel writers.

I would talk about terrorism has always been around - from the Catholic Crusades to the negro lynching as late as the early 1960's.

What Happens When A Bethelite Questions the Governing Body
by VM44 ini found this personal experience at the freeminds website.
it shows that if a bethel worker asks too many questions they will be asked to leave!.
so if anyone here is currently working at bethel and wants to leave before their time is up, just start asking questions!

Years later when I read George Orwell’s "1984" for the first time, I underlined the following passage and wrote "Watchtower" beside it: "But by far the more important reason for the readjustment of the past is the need to safeguard the infallibility of the Party."
Oh my God, what a prophetic quote. I e-mailed this to some family members. I do not know if any of them will "get it."

Still in one piece but the wheelchair isn't
by Lady Lee inwhat a day.
i was out gallavanting around - buying one thing here another there and finally heading home.. the chair hit a bump and the front wheel broke off sending me flying with the chair landing on top of me.
personally i think it was a temper tantrum designed to let me know they were tired and wanted to ride me for a while.. i had just passed a man sitting on a bench waiting for the bus and he rushed right over to help.

Glad you are ok. T3's are "good", especially when you are hurt.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. You did the right thing, the cat did not deserve to suffer further. Mourn now, and in time, you will adopt another cat.

I told someone who couldn't get over a chick that "He was in love with being in love, not with her."
We are social beings, and having contact with others feels good. But, these JW "friends" will not "accept" you until you are going to the KH 3 times a week, out in service 10 hours a month, and take on their viewpoints. If that's what you want, then go back. If not, get socially active in another organization. There are many charities that could use your time, even if it's a few hours a week. You'll find the social interaction you crave.

I had faded for a while. When family started to pressure me into returning....I found www.jwfiles.com . It was so on-point, that I made my decision pretty quickly. Then, I found www. ajwrb.org and it sealed the deal. I found this site last November/December. It has helped me therapeutically and socially. Plus, whenever Danny Hazard has the news of JWs, I always send them to the family. Irks them to no end. (he, he).

I met Mickey Rooney at a Veterinarian Charity Event for horses - colic. He was toasted.
I met actor Michael Palin in a mall. I immediately knew who he was and remembered his name. He was cool, and I tried to be discrete. I quietly walked up to him, asked him if he was who I thought, said that I appreciated his work.... We chated for a few minutes, and parted.
I met Sammy Sosa and Kerry Wood before a Cubs game. Both were way cool.
