  He was out of his mind with dementia, so I don't think he noticed.

  i have been considering signing up for open mic night at a local sports bar here in my little town.

  when i was about 16 years old i started recording some songs i did alone and also with a couple of friends.

  back in 2009 an old girlfriend of mine found a box of my old reel to reel tapes in a box in her mom's garage and she sent them to me.

  This is so strange...you sounded great in both videos, but in the first one you sounded so much like Elvis that I got chills! I don't know if your voice isn't as deep in the second video because of that particular song or due to your young age. Keep singing, frend, you sound great!

  here is a email from father in law, to his daughter (my sister in law).

  little history about my family.. my wife and i quit going to meetings about 5 years ago.. my sister in law has been df'd for about 10 years - she has 3 kids.. my father in law was an elder for 20 years, and has stepped down about 2 years ago.

  (still believes and mostly active).

  Very sad...I wonder if someone in the family can give his therapists a heads up whille he is in treatment. Providing a copy of this email would be a good start.

  My father in law spent several months at a childrens hospital when he was in his 60's, because it was the closest burn unit to us.

  New to the board

  i'm new to this board and looking to see what it's all about.

  i'm currently an unbaptized publisher and third-generation jw, so for obvious reasons i can't give my real name due to personal concerns.

  so from now on people can refer to me as "jimmy".

  i've been lurking here since late last year...was very hesitant to join the forum because of fear that satan would control my pc.... .

  i'm born in, but always had my little doubts about "the truth" since i was young, but went ahead and got baptized ect.... .

  i stumbled upon this site while looking for a km and initially thought it was a jw forum, but after seeing some of the titles of various threads, i thought to myself "i'm on an apostate website".

  Then for those who have become agnostic/atheists after leaving the WTBS, what do you think is the purpose of life and will it continue like how it is now?

  Every person's purpose in life is diffeent. For me it was being a wife, stepmother and now stepgrandmother. In recent years it has evolved into also helping as many exjws as I can to assimilate to life in the real world. It might not sound like much or anything special, like finding a cure for cancer. But it's been a great leap for me, because I was always afraid of having kids, for fear they would have the same nightmare childhood that my brother and I did.

  Just take your time. You'll figure out your spiritualality and life path.

  Also, the media coverage of the Catholic Church's problem with child abuse is fierce, because several millions of people are Catholic. There are only seven million jws, but there's been quite a bit of coverage about the Watch Tower's cover ups over the years, and i's been worldwide. Here are a few examples:

  ...i wonder if anyone who has written to WTBS and told them about what we now know about "the truth" got a written response from them?

  Please don't do that. Your letter will be sent back to your elders, and you will be df'd or apostasy.
