just wondering if anyone else has aquired the "evil" laugh after they stopped being a jw?.

few months ago with-in my family (the non-witness side) i confided about many of the things i have come to learn from this site and other sources.

Meeting RollerDave and seeing his aposta-truck up close
by Gopher in
1. jw
2. experiences
sometimes when someone new comes on the board and makes a big splash, you wonder if it's all for real.. rollerdave arrived on this board in the last couple months and has lit it up with his insight and wit, including recent experiences dealing with his old family and congregation.. after i pm'd dave here i learned he was indeed the same dave i knew back in a north-side minneapolis kingdom hall oh so many years ago.

we talked on the phone last weekend and actually got together for the first time last night.

as i expected he is just as genuine and witty and fun as he shows on this discussion board.

Who Else Here Is On Myspace.com?
by Arthur in
1. jw
2. friends
at the risk of being "untheocratic", i recently set up a profile on myspace.com.

i know that there are several of you on here who are also on myspace.

i thought that it would be nice to get in contact with some of you on here who do.

The Power of the Question: what most are missing
by Vernon Williams in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i want to make a statement, and, if there is any interest, develope it a bit.. in the interactions one has with a jw, no matter what level in the org.

or what the topic is, this needs to be remembered: .

whomever controls the question controls all.. the jws are trained to control the result of the conversation through argument manipulation.

Personal Revelation
by Briguy in
1. jw
2. experiences
sorry i do not post much but i do not have much original things to share because everyone here seems to cover it all.

i have had something strike very close to home and i thought i might share it incase someone out there might be thinking the same thing and is trying to put their finger on it.

i should give a small history on it to set it up.. growing up in the truth i was a model young man.
