Hi Inlove,

Great picture of the little one by the way. to add to what DM said, think of DUB as short for "W" in JW

Gays Leave JWD!

by hambeak in

friends

i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.

and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.

i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.

Hambeak,

I am so sorry you have subjected to this. I've just finished everyones comments and my head is still shaking in disbelief.

Don't let that virus with a coat of skin leave a mark on you.( I was going to say prick, probably more appropiate of who this person is)

terrified of friendship's bite,.

Alas young Abandoned, we knew him well. you have a gift fine sir, thank you for sharing your talents.

All I thought of was, good thing you got out of the org, otherwise you truly would of been a victim of that Dead Poets Society aka WBTS.

Sounds like your better today

Heard at a JW family get-together...

by Justice-One in

friends

my wife and i (and of course not our two sons because they are df'ed) got invited over to my mother and father-in-laws place for dinner last night.

at first, i wasn't going to go, and then i thought....well this might be fun.

btw, i knew that pretty much all of the family was going to be there, including two elders...my father in law, and my brother in law...both brain dead "true believers.

Bravo!, timing is everything, I wished I could of seen the look on the drones faces. they are not use to hearing the "Truth" you know..

Thanks for that J-one

Sorry, I need to vent for a moment...

normally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.

i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).

he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.

Hey Abandoned!

I was reading your comments and all that came to mind was how different we see ourselves than others do. I've read the responses/reactions from the board and I am going to echo their sentiments. you sound like a great guy, very witty and communicate your feelings like a poet. in a short time, you have made many friends here and that just isn't because we feel your pain (ex-jw crap) but find your posts insightful, thoughtful and your words paint a visual all of us can understand. these are qualities of a quality individual, you are already one of my favorite posters here so my heart aches to hear of your tough times.

I don't want to turn this into cliche time but something that was shared with me sometime ago I have never forgot and that is, the fastest way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. you have our support, internet shoulders to lean on and whatever else we can offer while you handle, adjust and overcome. this too shall pass..

If nothing else, remember how your thought of here and even more than the full figured women, Gordon has a crush, HA!

 You are a very attractive fellow... (I mean that in the most manly way)

 You seem to be in pretty good shape, physically.

Are YOU Basically The Same Person Now As When You Were A Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they say "the truth" changes people from nasty, wicked people to meek, honest hearted "ones".

now that you're out of "the truth", are you back to your old ways??

did "the truth" ever really change you??

Same person as before, I had a brief period after I left where I went alittle crazy and wild but that wasn't me inside. I tested the waters because I finally could but eventually came back to being the John I resemble in my mirrors.

We are who we are, people get help, change bad habits, lose weight, etc.. but inside we always come back to the real us.. I tell young people in relationships to start them out being yourself and not what you think the other person expects you to be, you'll have a greater chance of success if they meet the real you right from the beginning. as JW's, we were never able to individuals.
