I haven't really seen what you post of. But, I did notice a battle going on over semantics on a ufo thread. It seemed one person would ask a question and then go on a tirade over a response given because it wasn't in the language or perspective from that person. does that make sense? but, whatever the motivations, it did feel violent to my psyche just reading it. as a dub, i was so so clever and mean and i was rewarded for it. i have learned that kindness is strength and wisdom together, not being naive and dumb. I like reading warm fuzzy posts. I also like reading frustrated posts. But mean, angry posts aren't doing me any good.

did you listen to the kingdom songs on CD?
by dobbie injust wondering if anyone else had the collection of kingdom melodies on tape or cd and if you ever listened to them?i ordered the whole set of 9 cds 2 yrs ago and donated over 100.00 for them!
!was just thinking i could have bought a nice winter coat with that!i used to play them at home all the time, even in the car or when we had the group meeting at our house.i used to love one particular song cos it had a full orchestra and would play it over and over again.some of them were pretty cheesy though - one song was sung in opera style but not the words she she 'ahd' it all the way through - horrible!was anyone else as sad as me and did you actually pay for them?i regret it now cos they're all in the attic and can't bear to use them ever again..

No no no. Can't stand those songs. Hearing clips on youtube gives me the willies. Unrelated, but good: my husband makes music and makes his own tapes to sell (cds now), but my grandma had about 300 W/A tapes and my mom let me have them. I gave them to my husband, (before we ever dated) and he recorded his albums on them and sold them to people. I really hope people got the message.

Hypothetical ? for u. What if armageddon really did come...
by *jeremiah* inok, here's a hypothetical that i'm curious about.. what if armageddon really did happen?
not necessarily according to jw terms or timetable, but at some point it happens in your lifetime.
would any of you return to the jws?.

i agree with lowden 100%. I imagine if my stony little heart was back in Noah's day, I would be waving to the ark while floating on a tree branch next to all the other little innocent creatures getting annihilated by a jealous, insecure, jackass of a creator. Give me my hailstone! Don't put me in that kind of eternity, puh-lease!

Whoa! That was a flashback. I loved the illustrations. They really served to drive the points home. Let me be your friend! I will send a request pronto. Yeah, it's a small comfort that your were scared out of your everloving mind as much as I was. What a twisted thing to do to a little kid.

To be a Nice Apostate or a Mean Apostate.....
by AK - Jeff in..... that is the question.. how do you react - and is it a 'planned reaction', when confronted with jdubs in public?.
i have personally determined that i will not allow people whom i knew for 40 years in some cases to 'shun' me without a cost to the reputation of their religion in the eyes of those who see it.. if i come face to face with a witness who turns the other way or rudely brushes past [as if i am dead], i will point out to all in the area [carefull not to appear the raving lunatic] that this is the way jehovah's witnesses act toward one who has quietly left their faith.
i expect two things will begin to happen as a result.. 1- witnesses will become so paranoid of the possiblility of meeting me and being embarrassed in public, that they will alter their schedules to avoid the places i might be.

sKally, ok not nuts, just really brave and awesome. a champion of the apostapeoples! I think people in the neighborhood would listen to someone who could look them in the eye and have a dialogue with them. dubs just talk at you and won't directly answer challenging questions. it drives normal people crazy. If you use logic, you have the edge over witness drones.

Dubville, USA
by parakeet inmany of the jws in my old cong (about 40%) lived in a trailer court, which was in turn owned by a jw.
they seemed to enjoy living together in their little "dubville," surrounded by other jws.
even when i was still a jw, the thought of living there made me recoil.

Dismembered, did your wife think to call the police or something? That's scary. We had a couple "cult"-a-sacs of duplexes (affordable) with all dub tenants. I think it's part fantasy fulfillment of future paradise when the only reality will be dub neighbors. aaaaah- the humanity! too bad one of the MS dads was a total perv who walked around in boxers with his wee willy poking out around dub-cubs. i always thought it was creepy in those places. somewhere deep inside i think i didn't want the worldly people to disappear because the dubs are so dangerous to kids.
