  My Partner and I have been together for 10 years today!

  i am very proud that we have been together for 10 years!

  being raised a jw, it was always hard for me to find a long term relationship.

  most people that i met weren't interested in anything long term, and each time one ended, it left me feeling like i would never find someone who shared the same feelings.

  I knew there was a reason I don't get the spicy tuna rolls. I guess unless you were sitting at the bar watching them prepare it.

  on 4/6, the poster orphan annie posted about her experiences with jw's and her ill husband.

  unfortunately, her husband died monday, and she is feeling very sad.

  i just wanted to make others aware of it, so that we can encourage her and give her some much needed support during this rough time.. her original thread is here.

  My son was murdered today

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  Interview with former Watchtower P.R. man Robert Jankowski

  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  last week i took a trip down to santa ana, ca.

  and met robert jankowski, a name i heard very often at bethel in the late 70s.

  robert was one of the voices of many watchtower drama characters in the 70s, along with tom cabeen, who he often worked with.. in addition, the watchtower was allowed a slot on local radio stations every sunday (allowed by law free of charge to churches then) , which he provided to the radio stations in cassette form in advance.

  Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker

  by cedars in

  2. friends

  well, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.

  it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.

  apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

  That's the first time I saw the invitation. Wow...what a stupid invitation! Writing department is slipping. Makes no sense.

  It's typical JW rhetoric, let me ask you a question about YOUR beliefs, and then I will tell YOU what they are or what they should be!

  Like the old sarcastic retort, "When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!" So loving! NOT

  Exactly. Rude.

  So,.......What Do They Do Next?

  what do recent events tell us?

  well, the special talk seemed utterly directed at getting lapsed witnesses back into the cult.

  "jehovah wants you back......".

  Thank you for finding that quote.

  I get the feeling they are just doing SOS waiting for the end to come. There is no urgency, and the WBTS are cutting costs and full time workers.

  In hearing former friends talk about aux pioneering last month, they do it because it is just what they do every year. Same Old Sh*t.

  once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

  he named each song after a person in our family.

  this is the one he named heather.

  Memorial Bragging Rights: We Had a "Bethel Speaker"...Ooooooo..

  We had Bethel speakers for memorial most of the years in my last hall. Sydlik pioneered in this area years ago, so he always liked coming out. He was quite the dapper friendly person...and truth be told, very down to earth and kind. Marina was always in the background, seemed shy.

  The last few years I went we had JR Brown. He had an entourage. They had to issue tickets to the congregation for the meetings while he was here because there were so many in his entourage, there wouldn't be enough seating for those who actually went to the hall.

  A very different experience than what Barbara and Joe had, I'm sure.

  And then there is Ianelli....
