  What an encouraging and cool-as-heck post. I don't know how you do it, but more power to you. "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"
  
  Quote: "Hey John, just think that in just a few years, the Watchtower will celebrate the first centenial aniversary of the kingdom. Yes 2014 is just around the corner. Hey, then the're will only be 900 years left of the Kindom.I hope the end comes soon".
  
  Wow. Just wow.
  
  Cheers to you. And I think Underground Railroad would be a GREAT forum department heading.

  I'll hug you, Jim et al! Congrats and welcome!!! You can truly be proud of the way you stuck to your guns and demanded answers... you baffled them all. To hell with them (actually, I hope they see the light and get out soon, too.)

  WT monitors sites?

  by Gordy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a post on the other day someone was asking about whether the wt monitors websites such as this and other "apostate" sites.. unfortunately i couldn't find it to add this to it.

  i remembered a jw who worked on installing computers at london bethel, some time ago telling me that the wt did monitor websites.

  this jw is gradually fading away from being one, so can't say to much about him.

  Actually, Skeptic, it's not difficult for any ISP to "catch" anyone at anything, if they have the mind to read e-mails going through, whether an internal or external ISP. It only makes sense that WT is its own ISP, and therefore has no problem whatsoever reading internal e-mails.
  
  This, of course, is in reference to the homosexual witch-hunt, not about them tracking posters down here.

  he was a tall, handsome man just past 50, with a great smile and sense of humor.

  Restrangled: "After she was operated on, they could not get her to come out of the anesthesia, she kept saying "I want to join my son." "
  
  Oh, my gods, Restrangled. I am so sorry. I have to quit reading this thread, it is tearing me to pieces. Hugs to all.

  ok, i'm on a roll.. were you all told that only people with the right heart condition would understand the scriptures?.

  and, did you constantly feel like you did not have the right heart condition?.

  i just sorta gave up as my heart was not going to be manipulated anymore.. so, sometimes i kinda feel like i have a defective heart.. i don't know why this song comes to mind............it just did.. .

  Hugs to you, Purps!
  
  And please, give your heart more credit. *grin* It needs you. Look at what it has survived so far. From afar, your heart looks marvelous and strong.

  From jgnat: "EVERY JW is disconnected from reality. Good is bad. Black is white. Worldlings are no good. Charity is a waste. Comfort can only be found in the magazines. What kind of sad life is that?"
  
  Touche', and another perfectly phrased post, jgnat. You left one small one out, though... don't forget that NOTHING YOU DO IS EVER ENOUGH.
  
  Good point, too, Jerohobobonadad, about the "lack of resurection hope". This puts a double whammy on the surviving loved ones... not only are they heaping ashes on their heads about not knowing/not doing enough to help, but due to the circumstances of death, they have lost the hope they will ever see them again.
  I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that suicides in a religion such as the JWs which do not hold out the same after-life promises for them as for others are actually EVEN HARDER TO DEAL WITH than other suicides. Amazing isn't it, that the WTBTS can take something so horrible to overcome and make it even worse?
  
  HUGS TO YOU 2112!
  
  You're right ICBehindtheCurtain, LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE!!!!!
  
  Hugs, Woofer, so sad about your Dad's denial... unbelievable. Amazing what we do to survive pain we cannot face.
  
  Hugs to tijkmo... glad you are here.
  
  HUGS AND PATS ON THE BACK TO US ALL. WE ARE HERE, WE SURVIVED, AND WE HAD THE STRENGTH, THE INTELLIGENCE, AND THE POWER TO GET OUT AND GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.
