let's start a list of reasons why you were told, or overheard people telling, won't make it through the big a day.
i'll start.. 1. they don't take showing up for cleaning the kingdom hall seriously and never show up.
i overheard a sour puss old elder say this to his wife after he just gave a scolding talk on it.
Because I was a normal, horny prepubescent, and liked to play with myself. There is nothing more wonderful than being a normal 12 year old, and knowing you were going to die at Armageddon.
You were only 12? I must have been a late developer

Because myself and two others skipped the Watchtower study to play Asteroids in the fish and chip shop!!!

coming out of the witnesses like many here with no university education, it's been a little difficult at times to know how to make a decent living.. since being disfellowshipped, for asking way too many difficult questions of the elders, i've found myself becoming more and more immersed in making money online.. perhaps you do the same?.
or on the other hand, perhaps you too are struggling to understand how you too, could make a decent living online?.
it seems to me, that this could be an awesome opportunity for some here involved in the business of making money online, to help fellow exwitnesses and others too, become more acquainted with some of the methods used to generating an ideal situation to earning for themselves more income.. of course, this can be a very confusing area for some people to understand and/or get to grips with.. so this got me to thinking this afternoon, how many of us here could help our fellow posters out.. my first question then is - if you are already making money online, how do you do it?
Short answer to that is Paul, I don't need to, and nor would I want to.
I do have some professional integrity you know.
The thing is I know my heart was in the right place posting this up, but truth be told, reading some of these replies, I think too many of you are too screwed up in the head still to make anything work, way too suspicious and a little too rude for my liking also.
If anyone wants to pm me, they can do so and I'll help if I can, as regards doing this publically though just to receive insults or this kind of passive aggressiveness, no thanks, I think I'll pass.
There's many other places out there where I can write at full steam including my own blogs and receive letters of appreciation for help given, than wasting too much time here.
Since as one poster kindly pointed out, this is for spiritual and emotional crutch talk, discussion here, I honestly think I'll pass, I havn't got the time to write somewhere like this for forever more.
Life's too big, ya gotta grab it whilst you can.
Kindest.

It is you being insulting and passively aggressive in saying someone is screwed up in the head for questioning your motives in aiding people to make money. I will question anyone who comes on here introduces themselves with one thread and then offers to help people make money on the next. It also appears that you have been doing this kind of thing on other forums and they have got sick of it. JW online is the forum i am refering to.

hw said to respond to his post only if you are an elder or ms. since i'm neither, i felt the need for a separate post to this unusual question by a relatively new member of jwd.
is his question out of bounds for a new poster?
it seems like a digging for facts so he can turn someone in type of question.
I think you are overeacting to his thread. He has posted that he is an elder, maybe he wants to talk to people he can relate to and finds it easier talking to another elder or MS. Anyone who replies that they are an elder or MS chooses to post this about themselves. This choice is individual and if they have posted personal details about themselves or photos then surely that poster is aware of the consequences.
To ask whether he deserves this information is wrong in my view. We should welcome all new posters here and they should be able to ask whatever they want. It is then our choice whether we reply.

Very interesting read Pinball on jw online, but site will not let me put the thread up. Sound like your here to try and make some money out of us.
Paul
why is it soooo important to be a regular meeting attender when you can read the publication simply, at home?
they don't want you elaborating on the material.
they don't encourage doing extra research.
"not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together", can't remember the scripture and don't want to know either. I just remember having these words drummed into me.
Paul
it was suggested by someone to share my beliefs on spirtualism ever since i left the jw i no longer believe what the bible says.
however i don't do things like the occult or use a ouija board.
from the age of 11 i was interested in spiritualism through my brother who practiced out of body experiences, a lot of people have to see it to belive it really as many religions like the jehovah's witnesses says it is all work of satan aka lucifer, fraud or hoax.
I used to go out with a girl who attended a spiritualistic church on a weekly basis. It seemed to me that alot of what she believed in was just conjecture, she would listen to others and believe it herself. I find it very difficult to believe that spirits live on and try to contact the living. Many to me seem to go into spiritualism because they have lost someone close to them and want answers. I don't know if this is case with you? In my opinion it was with her, she hadn't long lost her Gran who she was close to.
Also, don't you find the spiritualistic church a bit cultish?

does anyone have a spare 15mins?.

Thanks sad emo for trying. His name would have been the same, i have traced all his races, but sadly with no pics. I may well try Monmore on Monday to see if i can get hold of anything. I have tried their site for archive pics or videos but cannot come up with anything. Seeing if they can get me put in touch with their photographer is a very good idea, didn't think of that, thanks.

i'm trying to quit for at least a month - just found i was drinking a bit to much with all the stress.... anyways, its been 10 days since i last had a drink.. how long has it been for you?
how long are you trying to go without drinking?.
Anewme, that post was very touching.
