I would answer : I can see your point and you're probably right, but what next ? are you trying to say that the WTS is interested in helping me escape from the fox ? I'm afraid this is where we start differring, the WTS couldn't care less about me, they work at preserving their stakes in this "system of things" and to their own survival from collapse, not mine.

What response would you give to this JW illustration ?
by troubled mind inmy jw in laws send us these types of emails every once in a while .
never is there any real personal correspondence from them and it irritates me.
i have sent emails back before critiquing the logic of some of their emails.. i will be sending a response to this latest one ,and i would appreciate some ideas .. i know many of you on this forum are so excellant with your words i would enjoy your input .. the first thing that came to my mind after i read the illustration was "i am so glad i am no longer on the endless tread mill of witness logic that has you running forever from scary imaginary spirit beings ".

Thanks Blondie, for your research work. Within the latest 18 months or so, it is the second WT article about telling the truth which in fact is just written for the purpose of requiring JWs NOT to tell the truth on the ground of theocratic war. This insistence makes me think that the WTS has a lot to hide and that there are probably misgivings on the part of some people within the organisation about that policy, at a level in the hierarchy which worries the top decision makers.

what apostate info was around in early 80's?
by highdose ina jw i know i very fond of telling people that he read apostate stuff in the early 80's and that when he later came into the turth it was proved to him that it was all lies ( the apostate info that is).
i've always wondered what it was he read, and how it could have been refuted by the dubs?.
and no, i've got no way of asking him, not without landing myself in hot water.

In the late seventies in London, I remember a pioneer sister having mentioned to me, in hushed voice, that there was an apostate book called "escaped from the tower", written by a former JW. I wonder if she was referring to Shnell's book, since I've never heard about that book again.

OK, I start :
one bottle contains 0.75 liter
one Magnum equals 2 bottles, ie 1.5 liter
one Jeroboam equals 4 bottles that is 3 liters
after that you're drunk, you can't count anymore

My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5
by Simon inmy life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".
i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.
it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

Simon,
Thanks once again for keeping this site running and even more so that it seems you thought several times of stopping it.
I agree very much with your opinion in part n° 4 that you can't remain an ex JW for your whole life. True, you know you are healed once you have gone beyond bitterness and resentment and a positive sign of this healing is the fact that the support site looks no longer so interesting. Just a natural process, nothing to do with the quality of JWD. I must admit that since I stopped attending meetings altogether about 2 months ago, I've found it much more difficult to bring into JWD JW- related threads or just posts (already not plenty), as if fading from JWD was part of leaving the organisation behind for good. Thanks anyway to all those who share their personal experiences and those who feed the site with insider WTS news, many are here to show fresh interest in the matter, which testifies for the site's usefulness.

In Paris, flying over the intra muros city is forbidden, apart from exceptional events such as the Bastille day parade, for the French AF, or film shootings, due to confined air space. Don't they do the same in NY ? So sad.

MY APOLOGIES TO ALL
by Mary inlooking back over the last few weeks, i think i've been unnessarily rude to some posters and i just want to apologize to anyone who has been on the receiving end of my anger recently.. i believe that i'm so angry, dismayed, devastated and heartbroken over what's happening to my brother in law, that i've been taking it out on others and that's not right.
it makes absolutely no difference what i think of the wts as a whole, or whether or not americans have a universal healthcare system......none of that makes any difference whatsoever when someone you love and has been like your brother for 35 years is dying and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it.. my sister just called me and there's more bad news, and that's that his disease has now progressed into the acute myeloid leukemia which means he cannot start the therapy they were going to give him, as this is far more serious now.
they want to start chemo right away, but his blood counts aren't up high enough for him to survive.

Mary,
we are all used to your vigourous style but that's not the point right now. Rather, my thoughts are for wishing you and your family strength to endure and, maybe, hope.
