Since I did some time in the Big House, I lived and worked with them all back in the 70's.....Dan Sidlik was a arrogant ass who cheated at softball, Freddy lived in his own world, and the funny thing is.....I really did like Ray Franz best! He always seemed to be troubled by something in his head, so I always felt a little sorry for him....I know better now. GYMBOB

As you can see by now, you are welcome here......

I'm pretty new also to this site....I lurked for a while, but just couldn't stay quiet about what i'd been through, i'm sure you feel the same....gotta share, gotta help other people see the lies.

You are probably feeling the same things most of us did when we first posted.....and i'm sure you've also quickly realized you have finally found some people who are REAL, who understand what it's like. There are LOTS of us here who feel the same.... and also LOTS who have uniquely different stories to tell. Enjoy it all. This is a difining moment in your (soon to be much more) wonderful life.

Real care & love is RIGHT HERE...... and you are now part of it all! GYMBB

Hey I got chased a few blocks by a mob of crazy jews back when I was at Brooklyn too!

It was in 1978 or 79, we were doing a special tract work, but it sounds like the same time you had. It was written about in 'Watching the World'. Some in my old cong. in Brooklyn Bensonhurst got beat-up pretty bad, and a couple of cars were overturned, but I made it back to bethel safely. Oh yea...fun times....I miss those days like I miss having a heart attack.

just got back from the special one day assembly and had to share this important info.

only two baptisms today; two girls about 15-16 out of 2,000 attendees.. i stumbled more than two with my anti-witnessing.

i posted un expose material in the bathrooms along with pre and post nov 1995 1914 generation belief.. incidentally, attendance was down almost 25% over last year as well.

What the hell is a "re-dedication"? I've never heard of such a thing in the witness world! (?) I can't believe it would be something encourage. Has anybody else heard of this?

As far as what is said from a do, co, po, etc.........does anybody else think it's just plain silly how much time and effort the borg puts into making sure that they have COMPLETE CONTROL over what's being said to JW's anywhere, anytime?! I mean just think about it....it's freakin' goofy how they can't just let people (who they know are absolutely watchtower loyalist) speak freely from their heart! Totally amazing....what a controling cult.....

Just thought I'd share this with you.

i was just browsing the excellent jwfacts.com site and it just clicked....jw is bloody cult!

it can't be anything else!.

as some may know i've only been around on here a month or so.

When I first left, I called them "cult-like"....now I know better! Juni, it's interesting that you mention drinking kool-aid. I saw a National Geographic documentary last night about Jim Jones and his ideas, along with how Jonestown came about and then the murder/suicide of everyone there....very similar mind-control stuff as the dubs! A little freaky to think we were all in something so close to them! GYMBOB
