My Introduction
by Left in the Cold ini have posted on here a little, and i thought i should probably introduce myself the best i can right now.
i stumbled upon this site and told my sister about it.
then, sometime later she started discussing things with me that's she has seen or read (she's in therapy, as well, which probably has made her kind of rethink things).

I'm so sorry to hear that he's gone. Several on line references are made about him if you Google his name. For all of the newbies out there, here is an informative article about his history: http://www.xjw.com/rawe-df.html
His name should never be forgotten in the ex-jw community. Richard was so brave and sincere in his fight against the Watch Tower.

My introduction/experience
by happy@last ini have only just recently found this site, in fact only recently gone online to do research of my own about jws.
before i left i had only gone on my gut instinct, not even realising i was not alone with my feelings.
the week i was appointed an elder some 11 years ago, i had had to write to a congregation many miles away from me about how unloving they were (more details below).. not long after i started to have concerns about jws, expecially as the message of 'following the bibles message' subtly changed to 'follow the fds', this did not sit well with me.

I'm thinking that you're from the UK. If you want to meet ex-jws in real life, there are many on JWN. You may want to contact them to see how close they are to you. Here's a few I can think of off the top of my head:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/member/39564
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/member/48014
I know there are many more, but I don't have time to stop and think of who they are.

Threats for leaving
by l p ini have been out since 2002. i have absolutely nothing to do with the borg.. in the last week i have been threatened twice by 2 different witlesses.
the first one in an email said: 'you know what the consequences are for leaving the organisation'.. i took absolute offense to this for a few reasons.
firstly, threatening someone is against the law.

If you do not wish to meet with us, we would appreciate it if you would be good enough to put in writing your position with regard to your membership of the congregation.
Punk, it's too bad you didn't respond "in writing" with a restraining order.

Jesus Christ Superstar
by FlyingHighNow inappreciation for the original soundtrack for the rock opera theater cast and for the movie that soon followed.
but any comments on any of the versions or stories you have, thoughts you have on this masterpiece by andrew lloyd webber would be cool.. first question: ian gillan, the original jesus, of deep purple fame on the soundtrack from 1970?.
or ted neely, a texas rocker who did the role of jesus in the movie?.

I got to see it on the big screen. Ted Neely is the best Jesus, hands down! And, FHN, you're right about the art work. I'm no longer a believer, but the film is one of the best I've ever seen.

This is just awful! I wondered why one of Holt's charges was sodomy when the police report says that he forced Whitney to perform oral sex. I Googled the legal definition of sodomy, and it means both anal and oral sex. Here's the link:
