LOL! This made me laugh~! Nice work with the visiting JWs. Maybe something you said will trigger a thought. Maybe not. But you never know.
Thanks for sharing.

my dear old dad was the po of a congregation.
he had been in the british marines during ww2.. one jolly day we were in the coach park at twickenham convention.. dad was watching the brothers and sisters getting off the coaches.. he looked at me and said quite pained: 'they all look like loonies.'.
i kid you not..
That's funny. Funny because it's true.
I hope that is a good memory for you.

today nothing feels right.
i feel like a bystander to all things.
as if im nowhere and have no forward progression.
Music and taking classes helped me alot during my transition.
This was before JWN and way before my first meet-up with XJW's. At the time I did not consider myself an 'X'; merely inactive due to conscience matters. So I kept my distance from non-JW's and JW's alike. All for far too long.
I don't remember your situation so will leave further comments for others.
All the best on your personal journey.

The press the enter/search button. Some good, pertinent threads are displayed.

To find them you can do a search.
or... It might just be easier to glance back thru the past 20 pages of Active Topics.

Yes. There were a few.
Welcome back.

my brother's wife just died.
it seems someone in my family is dying every month lately.
i guess when you get my age everyone you are friends with will be gone soon, including myself.. ken p..
Sorry for your loss. Nice that you are able to be pall bearer and that you were able to share some fun conversation with the rest of the family.

i get into words, and why certain words are used, and the meaning of certain words as they are used, especially by the wt&t$.
i noticed the way this statement about relief work in the phillipines news article on j.worg was written:.
"an estimated 15 to 20 percent of those seeking refuge at the site are non-witnesses.".
Interesting observation.
Also, the other non-JW's (aside from kids) might be UnBelieving Mates...?

bo juel jensen from norway was visiting new york 3 days ago .
he is an apostate activist and a child abuse survivor .. this is the video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odluwssd_qy.
Juan - My audio is crap. But the comments are clear. Listen again from 1:35 to 1:50. Listen to the off-camera guy. He is being inappropriately crass.
I don't believe the comment was intentionally put in the video. I think is was just carelessly overlooked in the editing process.

I have to go with Outlaw on this. One of the guys off-camera definitely says "...whip out a huge erection" at 1:40 into the video. Then he laughs, apologizes while talking over JoBuel and tries to refocus to get back on track.
It is inappropriate humor for a group that takes aim at assisting children and active/inactive JWs.
Agree, it was poor editing to leave that comment in. The comment and the background laughter makes the entire 'stunt' seem way too sophmoric and detracts from their message and efforts.
