Can anybody scan me a WT cover or direct me somewhere where I can find a picture of a WT cover that is of decent size, say, 1000 X 700 or so? Thanks very much. Otherwise I might have to hunting one down at a doctor's office or landrymat.

DF'd/DA'd, Death, Resurrection --- Future new light?
by catchthis inyears ago when i first started to question the organization and i knew at some point in time that i would eventually da myself or be df'd for some reason, i always wondered if my family would, in time, accept me once again after shunning me.
the 1995 generation thread brought this back up in my mind and i was interested to know if anyone else used this same line of thinking.. for the sake of those who still have jw relatives, let's put on their thinking caps for a minute.
jw's understand that just about everyone that has ever lived upon the face of the earth and have died, will be resurrected.

I'm DF'd and none of my JW family shuns me. The elders at my judicial meeting told me it would be a "real hardship" for them not to talk to me anymore. I laughed for a good 5 minutes. Hell, my JW ex-wife doesn't even shun me. The attitude is already starting. Ray Franz wrote some articles in the 1970s about taking it easy on DF'd ones and in 1981 the Society shot back in writing about not even saying a simple hello. My guess is we'll see that approach taken again and probably soon with the easy access to DF'd people on the internet. The hardliners at Bethel say, you're either with us, or against us, and if against us, pack your stuff and get out of here. I even had a 16 year old JW kid asking me advice in a JW-related chat room about whacking it and he compared the "sin" to murder. There's still a crop of young impressionable JWs out there to handle the dirty work of keeping 'the friends' in line but I do agree with one thing, JWism is heading for a major fallout come the next decade.
Edited to add: as for resurrection, I doubt most JWs even think about that. They're concerned with the here and now. Which is a good/bad thing depending on the circumstances.

Ok well I will add this much. Joanna was kind enough to direct me to a golf course near her house which I played in the rain, with borrowed clubs from the 1960s (not even a wedge to be found in the bag) that had an odd odor to them, no golf shoes, 9 lost balls, and a storm from the scene in Caddyshack. But I still managed to shoot 100. So according to my calculations I, in reality (whatever that is) shot an 82. Not that any of you care.

The Year's Text: What's the point?
by Nosferatu inokay, i can see why they have the daily text.
it fulfills the need for a horroscope (sorta), although nobody is anxious to read the damn thing to see what the day is going to bring them.. but what about the year's text... what's the point of it?
it doesn't give an outlook for the year.

I remember the old days when 'the friends' would pitch in and make the new sign and it was a piece of achievement and pride. Now, from my experience going to the Kingdom Hall several times a couple of years ago, the sign is there just as another sterile piece of non-worship and no spiritual value that the Kingdom Hall meetings have become.

I heard the apostafests/ meetups get pretty wild...
by love11 inwhat's been your experiences and would you go to one if they were in your area?
if you don't have any official gatherings for ex-jw's then what have you and your ex-jw friends done for fun?
hopefully curiousity doesn't kill this cat.

I met up with Joanna, Eyegirl and No Apologies this past week. We had a very uncomfortable, even terrible time. Everything went wrong, there was little to be said except for complaining, and I would never, EVER do it again. I hated every minute of it.

Joanna and Eyegirl are the greatest people ever! EVER!
by Cygnus ini just got home from a 5 day stint with joanna, eyegirl, and no apologies as well as joanna's manwhore and it was by far the best vacation i ever had and i had the most fun humanly imaginable.
joanna is the best host ever and eyegirl is great to swap silly stories with, among other things.
;) a public thank you for having me and this is not an invitation for anyone else to swamp them with invitation requests because they do lead busy lives and they are mine mine, you hear me, mine all mine!

Eyegirl's place was very nice. I liked the doorless bedroom very much, and had much fun restoring the ceramic cat's head to its rightful place. However, I'll take "Guest" on Joanna's couch 8 days out of the week plus Sundays.

Just a note (since I can't start another thread today). I don't feel like killing myself anymore, my life is pretty damned good and my trip to Minnesota confirmed it. :) Although, running out of Paxil was kinda bad (very dizzy). Other than that, oh and the hellish golf course conditions, I have become firmly convinced that, to quote Kenny Loggins, I'm all right. :)

The Williams sisters have a book coming out as well as a reality TV show. Wonder how honest try'll be about their affiliation with JWs.
I have two favorite JW celebrities, Lou Whitaker cause I heard he was a complete asshole in the dugout and in team functions, and Sam Perkins because he could hit a 20 footer with a hand in his face. Otherwise damn the rest of them.
