gidday to all you "apostates"....or should i say "truth-seekers" on j-w.com .
i have been "lurking" on this board for about 3 months and i finally feel ready to say something about the situation that i am in right now.
it's rather tenuous because i was recently baptised <1yr ago.

***the mole*** a sacramento elder caught.
he steps down his position this last thursday.
it has come to our attention of a coverup that the brother in one of our kingdom halls this last week had stepped down for sleeping with another woman.
Thanks for the update... can you post the news article when and if this goes public?... (or maybe you can help make it go public )
i just wanted to say hi.
this is my first message.
i have been df for about 14 years.
Nappy... welcome to the board!!
Keep posting... I'm glad you're with us... many of us are here for many different reasons... some to do serious research, some to find out more about the JW's (not knowing not all here are "in good standing"), some to get some support from people that have gone through the same experiences while inside the Org. and some because we've made so many damn good friends that even if we're not interested anymore in deep biblical research we NEED the "association"...
Best wishes,
Rick
well everyone thanks to many of your comments and urgings i started my investigation to find the "truth" about the wtbts.
today, i wrote two letters to the united nations and i finally ordered crisis of conscience.
if any of you have any more suggestions or comments please reply.. .
Good for you Sandy... I'm glad you did... I've always been very skeptical about everything... I didn't believe a lot of the things people here were posting about the WTBTS and in other websites until I did MY OWN research ( just to prove the "apostates" were wrong and to appease some nagging doubts I've always had)... Well I was in for a surprise... not only did I found more information than I bargained for but I also found a lot of support from people here... some even sent me literature through the mail and other information to help me out... I think that people like you (and me) when we finally convince ourselves about something we are VERY strong in our convictions...
Please share with us all your research as new lurkers of this board will find your information "new" and appealing and they would probably be motivated to dig more and find the truth about "the truth"... just as you are doing.
Best wishes,
Rick
ok, im finally sober enough to post after my trip to dallas.
i had a great time, and i met some wonderful ppl.
i know i cant thank everyone for all their hard work, and their kind deeds, so im not going to try.
WT it was a pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife... you know that if you ever come to Orlando, FL with your family you have a place to stay... you have a home here my brother.
I wish you the best... and I hope we can all meet again.
Rick

which is why i may have seemed a bit quiet,for me,there was so much going on,i was trying not to miss,i didnt get time to say a lot he he.. i am sorry i didnt get chance to say bye bye to all of you,wild turkey and dede,sloan,my last sight of you was when the lift,sorry,elevator,doors where closing,.
Trucker... It was a PLEASURE meeting you... and talking about motorcycles... you're a great man...
I really hope we can meet again... either here or if I ever visit the UK.
Take care my friend and I wish you the best in life,
Rick
as many of you witnessed at the november apostofest in dallas, i severely ruined my car because i was in such a damn hurry to get my car parked at gloria's rediculously narrow parking ramp!!!
with a $500 deductible, and no job....i was forced to drive around in a wrecked car....although i tried really really hard to swap cars w/megadude, since his is identical... to no avail....he'd not had enough beer i guess.. well....after much scrimping, saving, and several avon orders later (yes, i sell avon now - please visit my website: www.youravon.com/dianaflores )......i got my car fixed......wooohooo....and she looks so pretty!!!!!!!
i could almost cry....
Glad you're fixed your car... now you have no excuses not to drive me around Dallas on the next Apostafest!!
Take are Native... you are one cool dudette !
well, guys, here it is.
it's going in the mail tomorrow.
it's for me but, dad, it's also for you.
((((((Nina & Chris)))))))
Fist of all... I feel honored that I got to meet you guys in Dallas, you and your whole family are very special.
That was a VERY moving letter... and I can empathize with you. I haven't gone through the exact same things you went through but judging by the way myself and others have been treated in other matters I KNOW they are capable of the things they did and said and much more... and then, like you said in your letter they tell you that "there are some imperfect elders" in every congregation and it's a shame things like that happen... well... it happens all too often... and I think it's more the NORM rather than in isolated cases... I feel outraged by their actions and really hope that something can come out of this letter. I could feel your frustration because most of us in this board had felt the same way on many occasions.
I wish you the BEST in life for you and your family…
I love you all,
Rick (“email”)
