Fading,
Are you sure you were not transported back in time to a D.C. in 1980, because it sure sounds like it. Did they also say "this is not the time to be having children"?

Is There Anything After Death?
by Life Is Grand ina close friend of ours passed away last week-only 41 years old- from cancer.
it was truly the saddest funeral i have ever attended.
his wife was a mess, and their two little boys were being so brave for her-it was absolutely heartbreaking.. anyways, the minister giving the funeral service talked about how he is in a "better place" now, and it really started me thinking.

Even though the WTS has made me bitter to a degree, I still think and hope that there is some kind of painless existence at some point after we die.
Whether it is actually in the earthly realm, or heavenly, I guess we will all have to wait and see.

They said "are you crazy?".........."dont' do it"..............."don't you realize what you're doing?"........."you're becoming a what!!!!???????............"join anyone but them, please!!!!!".
So then, with all these warnings, isn't it all just our own fault?
Aren't we all in our own predicaments because we wouldn't and didn't listen?

Why do the majority of "newbies" disappear ???
by kid-A ini have noticed that, in general, there is a "core" of regular posters on jwd that have been members for several years.. however, it seems the vast majority of "newbies" disappear after a couple posts, days or perhaps a week.
how many "welcome" or "introduction" .
threads have we had here where the new member disappears within a day or so, never to post again?

Lifetime raised JW's did you find your parents sick with obsession?
by restrangled inwhat has come back to me and what i have realized through this website is that my mother was probably mentally very sick with this religion for most of her life.. it was a sickening obsession to obey, tattle, feel extreme guilt, turn in family members, and never, ever measure up no matter what she did.
endless months of pioneering, meeting attendance and studying for meetings were not enough .....ever....she is now 73 years old and still trying to pioneer in the exhausting heat of florida.
in her full time pioneering days she came down with breast cancer.

First of all, to all of you, I'm sorry about your pain and I wish I could take it away.
I put my daughter through some of these stupid things and I told her I was sorry, but I still feel bad. After a while, I realized what I was doing to her and I just stopped. That's all I can say for now. Sorry.

I post here because I have a big mouth and I'm full of b.s................but seriously.
I lurked for months, found out that many share similar experiences when I thought there was something wrong with me, and not the Org.
The other issue, which may open up a can of worms, is, when I was lurking I felt a lot of hate in the posts that I was reading. Not every one, of course, but enough to keep me away, in addition to worrying I might get caught somehow.
Even though things happened to me and my family in the Org., I don't hate anyone. Some here who have been VERY traumatized,(suicides caused by being in the Org., lost families, victims of molestation, etc.) I can see why they might hate, even though hating is not good for the hater.
If some of those things had happened to me, I don't really know if I wouldn't feel the same way.

Love you, you onery, old, beautiful, "true" sister in the faith. Thank you for all your help and especially for your wit. I will continue, with your permission, to use "the left foot of fellowship" when appropriate, and also when not so appropriate, in your honor. Hope you forget that you left, so you can come back.
Love Warlock

Did you ridicule apostates for attacking the Org. and not Bible doctrine?.
by Wasanelder Once inwhen i was a busy little pie-in-ear we had a local apostate who would come and pretend to be interested.
he always attacked russell and rutherford and the early organization.
(this was in the late 80's early 90's) after he left, the young brother with me said, "these apostates always attack the imperfect organization but never can show anything from the bible.

From what I remember, I had 2 contacts with apostates when I was in the Org.
I was going d2d with a brother who was about 90 years old and when we reached this particular door, this guy who answers says "I'll read those (the w.t. & awake), if you read these" and he pulled his hand out from behind his back and had some old photo copied w.t. mags. This old brother says "I know where you got those from and those people can make them say whatever they want. I know you're not an apostate, but those people are". We left shortly after. The brother knew this guy had never been a witness.
The 2nd time was an r.v. that a sister gave me and an elder, because she said she didn't feel comfortable about going back. This elder and I go, and the guy at the door was irate and told us why we came, because he wanted that sister to come, not us. Then he started in about a scripture in Acts and all this stuff, so basically we figured this guy was setting this sister up for some apostate assault.
The funny part is, the elder started laughing at the guy, because he was getting madder and madder at us, and as we were leaving down the driveway he threatened to come out and "kick our ass". So the elder yells, from the sidewalk, "Come on out!". The elder and I waited and he just kept yelling.
Good thing he didn't come out. Why, you may ask? Because I had taken martial arts and boxing before I became a witness and the elder had been in 2 branches of the armed services and was a boxing coach.
There is my apostate tale for the day.
