I believe the McCanns know exactly what happened to Madeleine.

How long before you tell people you were once a Jehovah's Witness?
by Trevanian inmost of the people i've met since i left don't know that i spent years of my life as a door knocker.. i have very dear friends who don't know.
i've even had lovers who didn't know.
my last partner knew, and found it vaguely amusing.. i guess i find it deeply embarrassing, although over the years it's become easier to mention it.

by inkling indo you know of any current witnesses who smoke marijuana, even rarely?.

do you smoke it now?.

Interesting question.
No, no and no.
But ask me about other non-addictive drugs like e.
The answer is not as simple.

Oh dear. So many memories.
I remember as a youngster wondering why such unhealthy food was on the menu for assembly day.
In my district - oily toasted cheese sandwiches and fatty meat curries.

Question: Who verifies the Annual Partakers Report?
by Bourne inthis thought just occured to me.
since within the jw community, it is so fragmented so as to keep any one person from having the complete operating picture, what keeps the partakers number around the 8000 mark?
could they not just as easily continue to reduce the number in a moderate way so as to keep the pressure on?

And what happens when some random Catholic guest, or a person in Africa, or a slew of them, partakes?
Do they get counted? Or is there a committee that says "nope, not a real Witless" or "no, not enough fieldies reported, doesn't count"?
How does that work?

No worries llbh, not stupid at all.
Maybe my bad, for being so low profile for the last year. Was lurking, and posting the odd comment about Thomstuff that got instantly deleted.
I think your thread is interesting, because as we leave; our friends inevitably change, as do we, and has been said how 2 explain to new friends who might not understand?
Yes, exactly my point.
How do we explain to new friends? Or do we just not bother?

Hello All,
Its not that I don't have anything to say, I guess I replaced my jw life with secular work. I'll try not to be a fly on the wall in the future!
lol!
try, okay?

Nice, Gopher.
Here's a funny but informational video about why Catholics sit, stand and kneel so much. It's called "That Catholic Show" (the title being a parody on That 70's Show).
Hmm, maybe Babylon the Great isn't so bad after all?
