All I had to do was read Scully's post. What double talk nonsense from this guy. I don't think I could bear to listen to it.

if you've already been 'announced' and were at the kingdom hall to hear it, how did it feel?
i think when my time comes i may be there.
a part of me says "sod 'em", but another part wants them to see how happy i am.. hmmm, not sure..
LT, I just read your announcement for the first time. Wow! I never heard of anything like that. Talk about balls! Good for you, my friend!

I would not be present for such an announcement, if ever made, inasmuch as I have not attended, nor will ever attend a KH again.

a friend of mine (still an active jw) is quite sure that r.franz is back into wts.
from his point of view, an evidence is that he never published the 2nd part of isocf, even if it was announced in the first isocf.
i'm quite sure this is a nonsense , but you may help me with some information.
Ancientofdays, PM me if you would like to see the email correspondence.

I had some email contact with him recently, (within the past 4 or 5 mos), no way is he back in.

at this stage of "coming out" of the "truth", would it faze you if you were disfellowshipped?
They have no control over my life, at this point. The answer would be no. Aside from perhaps loosing one good friend, (and yes, that would hurt), I would welcome officially being known as no longer a jw.

cmon.... you know who you are... i was once just like you!
let this thread be your coming out party - reveal yourselves already.
we are getting new posters on here every day and i am loving... jwd:"changing the world one post at a time"
Nobody is going to bite your head off and if somone does disagree with you (and there always is one) they are very polite about it here. I would be totally shocked if I ever posted a thread and everyone agreed with me. That's when it would get very boring.
That's the beautiful thing with being out of the Borg, isn't it? We are actually ALLOWED to disagree, and it actually makes life INTERESTING...
Happy Friday!

a thread on the last page made me remember something from my early childhood.
remember congregation picnics and other outings?
i remember when i was little, probably only 4 - 5 years old; there was a huge congregation picnic at a park with food, games, etc.
No "congregation" picnics any more. It seemed like the congregation elders were sponsoring them and the did not want to be held responsible for any "judicial" incidents or injuries. An individual had to sponsor it. Some congregations said that only one or book study groups could get together.
I remember when they changed this, Blondie. For a while they still announced them at the TMS anyway, they just called it the "Friends of Brother and Sister so and so" picnic. Sounds really stupid to me now.

In this order:
1. Teaching that only JWs have "The Truth".
2. Disfellowshipping, (and all JC bullshit).
3. Blood.

i am curious, what amount people on this board from their experiences of being a baptised & active jw and their subsequent exit from the jw org (for whatever reason or reasons) are now either agnostic, atheist or do some actually still believe in god?.
your honest answers please.. lfcv.
Atheist - as in the actual definition of the word, not what most people think it means. A - theist as oppossed to theist. In other words, opposite of theist. I don't have a belief in a specific god, therefore I am an atheist by definition. That does not mean I don't believe that a god can exist.
What LDB said. (In spite of Mr. Dawkins).
btw: I do like Dawkins work.
