Naa mate i disagree, when i was a dub all i ever heard was bro's & sisters bitching about everybody. There was so much gossip, backstabbing and putting everyone down it was unbelievable. Then of course face to face with eachother it was all smiles & niceyness, god it was so false it made me sick....yuk

JW's use Rose colored glasses to see each other.
by The Lone Ranger inhave you ever noticed how jws look at each other through rose coloured glasses.
no jw can do any wrong in the eyes of other jws.
even when its obvious that a jw has done wrong, they are always righteous to other jw"s, as long as a jw gos to meeting and does field service then he must be right with god and therefore must be right in the eyes of others jws.

by minimus inwhen you were a witness, there must've been things that you really wanted to but couldn't because you were not able to.
give us some examples, please..

Jehovah's Witnesses Have Lost Their Purpose In Life!
by minimus inthat's my conclusion.
they don't stand for anything anymore.
they used to be known as "bible students" but not anymore.

Ultimately, you've got exhausted, weak, sick minded people just trying to keep it together, day by day, week by week-----hanging on just long enough until "The End" comes. They are on auto-pilot. Meanwhile they enjoy nothing "this life" offers them. And they are miserable.
Thats why you get so many depressed individuals in the Cong. Who can blame them when they are overloaded with duties to the Org, isolated from the real world with no real life outside of the Cong and constantly made to feel guilty with their everyday 'failings' by the WT.

Thanks for sharing that with us AK Jeff. Well all i can say is IF Trevors claims about being present at Hillsborough on April 15th 1989 are true then who knows how an experience like this will affect you. I'm not an expert on PTSD and i'm sure most of us here are not also so lets not be quick to judge him. I remember Hillsborough on that tragic day 18 years ago in our semi final of the FA cup against Nottingham Forest. I wasn't there but i saw it on TV and was horrified & shocked at what happened. But to be an eye witness of the events of that day if your a normal right minded person must leave a lasting scar on you for a very long time and who knows might well affect you like that.
Well Trevor if you were there at Hillsborough then my sympathies to you and more important of course to all of the victims and their families. But does this justify pulling this elaborate hoax and fooling people (including myself) in the way that you did? We acknowledge your apology and certainly hope for your sake you cease in your decieving pursuits. Maybe you need to socialise a bit more, spend less time on the Internet, theres nothing wrong with going on the internet but if thats the only way you are interacting with people then maybe its time for change.

If this is true it sounds like they're trying to becoming more secretive with their statistics, and yes i to wonder if they'll soon stop printing the number of annual memorial emblem partakers also?!?
This should raise suspicions if you were a thinking JW.
hhmmmmmmmmm

For those who have traveled outside of the US...your favorite destination!
by restrangled inmine is garmisch germany....spotless and dog friendly, in the heart of the alps, just on the border of austria, driving distance to anywhere in italy....an absolute dream.
the town is small, (near where sound of music was filmed) beautiful shops including, chocolate, designer fashions, local specialties and the best food you have ever tasted from every part of the world.. it is a professional skier's destination, and at the same time, cows are driven through in the morning and evening with most traffic coming to a halt to allow the same.. driving in form munich, about an hour, you climb mountains and then suddenly come into beautiful fields with the mountains rising above you.
absolutely breathtaking.

Well up here in Norway its pretty good if you like landscape scenes but beware everything is very expensive up here (compared to Britain). Lake Como in Italy is very nice but for me the best place i've visited is Australia. The wildlife, the weather, the beaches but most of all the Great Barrier Reef, this really is a great country to visit and i'm sure it is also to live in aswell.

Share one or two interesting things about you we probably didn't know
by Gopher inwe have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.
it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .
* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

Lived through Danny H incident / Trevorgate? Do you feel a bit changed?
by nvrgnbk insurely these two events/situations/happenings mean little, nothing even, to those in the real world.. but since we're witnesses( some participatory) to them, they've affected us.. alot "went down" in a relatively short period of time.. do you feel the effects have been mostly positive, an opportunity to grow perhaps?.
or do you feel adversely affected?.
what about any lasting effects( positive or negative) you think they may have on the way ex-jws interact as a community?.

I can't believe the amount of division among us that incident caused. I mean people were arguing with eachother all over the place. Lets hope it doesn't happen again.
