Jeff Foxworthy....You might be a JW if....
by Lady Liberty in.
hello all.... sat around the campfire this weekend and laughed our butts off coming up with jeff foxworthy type humor.
it was so funny we thought it would be fun to run a thread here... i'll start.... "if your only yearly vacation is a "trip" to the district convention...you might be a jw.".

Death and Ex-JWs
by Mysterious init's a long weekend so it's time to bring out a big issue, death.
i know it's something most ex-jws (at least for a while) struggle with when they exit the organization.
i think a weird moment for me was yesterday when my boyfriend's parents called.

For me I am not sure I really could comprehend living forever, I could think about being alive today and I would want to be alive tommorrow so I could carry that through and so living forever was maybe okay.
So it was not an issue that bothered me on coming out. I still feel that I want to be alive tomorrow and so on. I may be wrong, but as you get to an old age you will start to accept and come to terms with death. Having said that, I feel very sad at funerals when you see and feel the pain of bereaved ones somehow death doesn't seem fair.
Sseeker4 sums it up for me
We need to live the life we've been given now to the very best of our ability. Good work, good friends, creating, loving, laughing - whatever it is that gives us satisfaction and joy. ;No one is really going to change the world all that much, but we should do what little we personally can to make it a better place for our having been here.

He wouldn't behave on the ministry, and eventually we stopped taking him after the day just after his 13th nirthday when he asked the young girl who opened the door if she wanted to go to the cinema with him instead of offerring her a magazine
Nice one!

What were your seating habits at the hall?
by JH ini would always leave a space between me and someone else.
i hated when someone was seated right next to me.
didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

In our hall you could tell who was going to be fading/disfellowshiped next because they would sit in the back row, including us. But was taken by surprise when it was an elder, his wife and his girlfriend with her husband. But sure enough the back row was cursed.

Hello everybody
by iamfreenow ini am marion, a friend of fullofdoubtnow (linda), and i have just disassociated from jehovahs witnesses.
i was only announced a couple of days ago, after a lifetime of association.
linda has posted about me before, but it's wonderful to be able to post in my own right, and i am really looking forward to getting to know you all.. i am 59 years of age, 60 in november, and have been a jw all my life, baptised since 1961, and i thought i would always be a witness, but i now know absolutely that it isn't the truth.

Hi Marion

To be honest, I haven't got used to being an apostate yet, but coming here will certainly speed up the process!
LOL
Don't worry about witness speak its been "inculcated" in all your 'loving brothers and sisters" here
If you say what you feel I bet you find people understand.

Moving House - why so darned expensive!
by Crumpet inas you may already know mr c and i are parting company and i am on the search for somewhere to live.
last night i saw two dirty, grubby pokey and depressing little rooms, about 8 foot by 9 foot, which i could just about afford at 450 a month (thats about $900 to you yanks)!
this is not in london but about 30 minutes by train from london.

I don't know too much about renting but can you claim housing benefit? I know a pioneer used to do that in our congregation and did alright. Also can you get with any Housing Association? Some flats are reserved for key workers, which you may be, but in some places there are too many flats for the uptake and they have to bend the requirements.
I hope you sort it out though

MY SON'S LEAVING HOME!!!!!!!!
by Dansk inmy older son, karl, is leaving home.
it could be this coming sunday but, if not, definitely sometime during next week.. karl has been a wonderful son and friend.
leaving watchtower was made so much easier because of him - and his decision to exit undoubtedly prompted my wife, claire, to take a look at the damning evidence herself!

Cogratulations Dansk and Claire
Must be a bit of a tough though seeing your boy leave home. Our son hasn't started school yet so we won't be worrying about that yet. Mind you the New System might be here by then.
