Almost every minute of every day, however, with our active five year old....it is not going to happen. If you are sleepy, have no distractions, then, fall into the sheets and enjoy the bliss of a long snooze: wish I could.

hey everyone!!!
it has been awhile since i have posted here at jwd.
life has been an adjustment these last two years.
Hi!
Vernon Williams, here, new to the board...
Is your "bio" posted somewhere?
V
i mean, there is so much bullshit talk on this site, and every time there comes up an opportunity to take some action, you all just wus out.
what will it take for you all to get a spine and do something?
write a letter or email to this paper and let them know how you feel about their article.
Hey, bro
Listen, there are a lot of ways of handling this: I apprciate your frustration, however, we are all at different points "in Journey" and the one thing I am learning is patience with everyone especially myself.
Right now, I am so overwhelmed that one more thing and I think my head will explode. I post here, mainly, for the "lurkers" and to encourage as I can. It is one way of showing I care. We all need comfort or a place to vent or explain....work it out. This is a great site for all those things...and, if you want, discussing whether or not you shave your pubic hair: not a thing I plan on commenting on, but, it is all ok....
Here is something I have found: the WT effects a few a LOT and it effects the vast, vast majority NOT AT ALL. Many times we are shouting "FIRE" when it appears a flickering match to the people looking. We are hyper sensitive and with very good cause: we know what happens when the match meets some dry material.
That is all: I am exhausted and will be up in a few hours.
With you in this Struggle,
V
Well...
Judge Rutherford's mythical paradise and the road to it.

Yours in this Journey, and, on the right path now,

my name's ben and i'm fresh off the boat, if you will.

i look forward to meeting you all.
Hey, Ben,
What area of the country/world do you live in?

ive wondered this from time to time, especially in trying to figure out how i finally broke free and in looking at the stories of others.
if you asked me a few years ago, i probably would have said either seeing too much hypocrisy or suffering the last straw of spiritual and/or emotional abuse.
but i know in my case and others, even that wasnt enough to break the mental shackles.
The key is within.....
V PS: No, not like in "Underworld Evolution..."
yes, as far as jehovahs witnesses are concerned, apostates are evil, wicked, faithless liars.. i was wanting to ask - assuming most if not all who come here are in the jw category of apostate, how do you feel about the fact that you are portrayed in such a light by the org?.
i will be the first to admit - i always thought that those who criticized the org were untruthful or exaggerating.
its not until now i have considered what you guys have to say and how you feel that i realize that what you have to say is all truthful (tinged with a bit of anger perhaps).. personally i think its verging on character assassination.
Brant,
Hey, bro!
I, accidently, came across this site: this article was pretty good: on "disfellowshipping;"
http://jehovah.net.au/disfellowship.html
I was researching WW 11 for a class in the school I am taking. Found this site: it was kinda fun to look around:
http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Sir_Winston_Churchill/
Winston Churchhill is a crack up: the site is about quotes and it is pretty neat.
Hope all is well,

our congregation had a number of elderly ones who regularly complained that no one ever helped them.
since the elders didn't really want to be responsible for them, they decreed that the family should help out first.
fair enough.
Min,
With all the horny old dudes and pedaphiles in the Org, do they REALLY need to send a hot chick and a little girl to visit a sick old man.....really??

just to recap, ive had a nice baptist pastor stopping by my house about once a month for the past 8 months.a very kind soul, we always have the most interesting discussions.him learning about how i was raised as a jw and their belief system, and i learning about his being born again, the trinity, heaven, views on armageddon, etc.
it has all been very interesting, me being raised a jw and now hearing what another denomination believes, especially about the 144,000 and why they feel it isn't a literal number.
also, i am on his regular "field ministry,", and this is shocking to me as i was always taught the other religions don't go door to door like us, with the exception of mormons - lds.. anyway, he made the comment to me that very view christian denominations did not believe in the trinity.he stated that really only small handful of denominations such as jws, mormons, and a few other cultic types dont accept the trinity.this was shocking to me, because asjw i always believed most everyone outside of catholicism and lutheranism believed as jw did, that jesus was gods son, and a totally separate created being.
Gopher:
The "oneness" Pentacostals reject the Trinity, however, it is easy to see that "oneness" (Modalism) is a TOTAL heresy.....at least the Trinity makes some sense...Oneness is pure fantasy...

yknot,
Did you mean "hell" or "limbo?"
Limbo was just re-visited by the Vatican with some interesting conclusions.....
