wow, looking at the post list i can hardly believe my eyes.
looks like the list of names from 'old' h2o!.
thanks to unclebruce for posting this url on coolboards so i could find my way here.
Somebody,
In the foul family, chickens, they call it the pecking order. The head hen starts the pecking and the rest follow. They will peck that hen or roaster till it dies.
If you feed your foul, chickens, sugar beets they will not peck each at each other.
If we feed our heart and mind with sugar, good thought, we will not peck on each other.
But if you want to be the "cock of the block" it's ok with me.

so, who is the society's stooge here?.
it goes without saying that the society uses stooges (i.e.
plants) on the web.
SevenofNine, thanks girl,
You are always so helpful.
No wonder everyone loves you.

my name is shauna and this is my first post here.
in short, i am 26 years old and have been df'd for a little over 2 years.
i come from a strong and long jw heritage (6 generations).
ShanaC,
Your parents, family and friends are just flesh and blood with a little bone throw in, just like any other person on this planet.
I personally am a active Jehovah's Witness for better then 45 year. To me I do not divide my fellow flesh and blood, be the Hindu, Shintu, Jews, ex-Jehovah's Witness(I do't like this work), etc, etc. into seperate systems. They are just people. I know that down deep in their hearts the love me just as much as I love them. I WILL NOT let an organizaton divide me from them. As I have said over on H20 many a time, the WBTS have done a great wrong with the disfellowship issure starting about 20-25 years ago. Like UKnow, an active Jehovah's Witness, said in his last post on H20, and I agree, the WTBS will have to answer for their behavior in time. I am looking forward to seeing Theodore Jaracz get his *ss make nice and red. I am judging his actions in saying he is a wicked man. But please forgive me for judging at all, for that is Jesus Christ job the last I knew.
People are people, they are only doing what they have to do to survive in this life that has been dealt them.
What I am saying, or trying to say is, LOOK AT PEOPLE FOR WHOM THE ARE not what their religion they may be.
If you can do this, your heart will be at peace with you, in turn you will be a peace with your fellowman.
ShanaC, not wanting to sound preachy. But I would like to say that there are four dividers of the human family that the Devil has developed very nicely, and humans have fallen for them, including my self at times. They are in this order, age, religion, politics, race. Think about it, if you would like.
Welcome. You will like the forum and the people here.

Welcome,
I believe you will enjoy the format and the people.
What I like about this format and the people is: The format is easy to move around in and the people are not big-to-does. No one is trying to prove who is the cock of the block. I notice when someone trys to be the cock of the block, well, everyone just avoids them like a plague.
Welcome, I am looking forward to your fine comments like over on H20.

so, who is the society's stooge here?.

Focus,
I could care less if there are stooges on Jehovah Witness.com or any other web forum dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses.
I have never said anything to either parties that I need to look over my shoulder.
But thanks for a well thought out post.
DA
P.S. SevenofNine, that was a good post. How did you do that?

what have you learnt since you left the borg?.
have you become a better person?
have you worked on traits you didn't like about yourself when you were a witness?.
Prisca, psychology is a good tool to find what one is thinking.
Your respond to my post to yours was very good.
I like people who think on their feet.
My post to you was nothing personal. Sorry, for your bad experinece. I wish I could make it up in some way.
As for this persecution item. Well, I have never had it and I will never get it. I know who I am and were I am going. I believe you and the other that posted to you are in the same frame of mind. Keep going girl!
Thanks again for both post, they were very good.
Your friend,
DA

"the reverend's wife tells about her day".
she says, the other day i went to the local religious book store, where i saw a "honk if you love jesus" bumper sticker.
i bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car and i'm really glad i did.
I agree with Heyank, past it by us.
Thanks,

Prisca,
What I am about to say, please don't take negatively.
You made two statements.
1. "I have learnt to be a more compassionate person."
2. "I've especially become nore tolerant of non-christian."
Prisca, I have been an active Jehvoah's Witness for 45xx years.
It's not because I am a Jehovah's Witness that I say to you. I feel that I am a compassionate person and always have been. As far as being tolerant to non-christian. Well, I just wish you knew this Jehovah's Witness.
I am sorry you feel that, just because I am a active Jehovah's Witnes, I am not a compassionate person and do not tolerant non-christians.
Thanks,
DA

Redhorsewomen,
Without going into great dealt, I would like to say, that you and me are riding the same type of horse.
For me, it's a coal black Geman Hanoverian.
Yes, you are so right, people are people. We all need to grant each other the diginity we deserve.
What I liked about your post was, besides being factual, it was right to the point. None of this beating around the bush.
Thanks,
DA
