My Father passed away during the night
by jwfacts indad was a great man, great, despite the religion.
he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.
he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

At the age of 48 I just graduated with my BA degree from college and I am on top of the world
by booker-t ini thought i would never get my college degree from a university in this century at the age of 48 but i did it and graduated with an "a-" average.
i did this all the while working a full time job and going to school full time.
it can be done and now i love school to death.

New court docs for Menlo Park KH scandal
by Juan Viejo2 ini've been fighting computer problems for over a week, but i finally got a new article up at ex-jw.com about the status of the court case in san francisco.. the plaintiffs will be going to court this week and possibly again in ten days.
the big issue is the bank account statements and signature files.
plaintiffs claim that defendants opened up unauthorized bank accounts and allegedly forged the then current coboe / ceo's signature.

Thanks for posting these JV. Makes for interesting reading. This case is really ugly. I think it does show how heavy handed some COs are. Do you know if the plaintiffs have been DF'ed yet? I can't imagine that won't happen but I'll bet it will be after the case is concluded.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

It doesn't seem like 5 years....
by Open mind in...but 5 years ago today, i made my first post here on jwn.. .
i was an elder, had a true-believing jw wife and our unbaptized publisher children were beginning to feel pressure from other jws to take the plunge.. .
amazing how much can happen in 5 trips around the sun.. .

Wrong Orange County. Not CA but NY.
Not shocked at all about the purchase. They've made no secret about their move to this area and move out of Brooklyn. They flipped the expensive real estate for cheaper digs in the country. Build the new buildings with "volunteer" labor and lock in an instant profit. This has been their game plan for years.

And kudos to the husband for making the decision to allow his kids go grow up with their mother as opposed to sacrificing her life for an ever changing religious doctrine! I'm not sure if he was a JW or not. If he was, I wonder what sanctions the congregation took against him?

Honestly you've probably given them enough already to start down the df'ing road. If you were looking to fly under the radar, those responses aren't going to do it.

How Many on JWNet are still JWs?
by RayPublisher ini've been wondering about this for some time.
if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?
if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.

JW's who remain in the organisation but try to reform it - pissing against the wind
by jambon1 ini came across a website that presents decent argumentation against three main areas of jw doctrine.. http://jwreform.org/index.html.
who do these people think they are?
do they really believe that the wts will sit up and take notice of their objections?

Evolve to survive, yes. Reform for good, no.
