Where is it going? It all depends on what YOU want. I'm interested in reasonable and sane topics. Humor is indeed welcomed. I stop in just to see what's new. I'm probably one of a few that has been acquainted with this org. since the late forties. I've been in and out of this org. many times and I have never regretted it. Every time I left, I learned something new. Sports and work are my main interest. Forums of this nature, especially this one, has reinforced and aided me to let go. I no longer think of my association with this org., so much so that I feel as though I'm a stranger looking in. This is a good feeling. I'll pm those that need encouragement.
I hope this board goes in the way of encouraging others. You'll always have differences of opinions, always.

92STOP THE MADNESS....where is this board going?
by SnakesInTheTower ini've only posted since feb 07..but i have lurked for several years prior and there was usually something interesting on the board.
as i was reading the active topics list this morning, only a couple things jumped out at me as interesting...its been this way since the dgate and tgate incidents.... i was discussing this with a long time poster via im yesterday....does it seem to anyone else that so many of the topics are ...i dont know....odd...or different than they used to be...and i dont mean that in a good way.. i miss the newbies coming on and telling us their stories.... i miss the long time posters updating us on their lives post-borg... i guess with the recent uproar, the lurkers are hesitant to become newbies (cant say as i blame them now...we probably scared them off , and maybe the vets are just as hesitant...after all, someone went 2 years with their fraud/hoax...who will believe anyone else now?
i hope this is just a temporary cycle on this board..i have read many many posts from the archives...i hope one day soon we can get back to a happy medium here.. by the way, i like the fluff threads, but these seem to be more and more sex related (maybe that word will wake someone)... yet they get all the attention....and then someone goes too far and it gets locked down by a mod and the poster restricted......(i am not a prude...just sometimes enough is enough).

What can we learn from the recent upheavals on the board
by Lady Lee ini had this this in my head and even had it typed out but didn't post it but i see some still need to talk about the trevor saga on the board.. i was reading some of the initial threads where many people posted how they felt about what trevor had done.
people used the words; anger, shock, disbelief, hurt, sickened, duped, suckered, creeped out, confused, stupid, and betrayed.. given the situation those are all perfectly normal responses.
it isn't easy when we find out we have been lied to.

I had a fleshly brother that was a scam artist. He enjoyed and got a good kick out of fooling people, well, he's in the grave now because one of his tricks back-fired. Yes, sooner or later these scams artist get back their medicine. You reap what you sow.

California Wildfires = The end?
by RollerDave ini just got a call from my jw mom asking if i was watching the news.. i'm like, "no, what's up?".
i'm imagining something must really be up, like we invaded some more countries or mushroom clouds over american cities, or maybe somebody famous did something horrible in public, or something.. she tells me 'half of california is burning.'.
i'm like "yeah, it's been doing that for a while now.".

I'm into politics in my home town and taking crap from the locals comes with the territory. My political buddies and I are straight arrows when it comes to confronting local issues. Why beat around the bush?

If memory serves me right, C.T. Russell alluded to the fact if donations were sought, it would not be God's Org. Someone may have the exact quote.

so many nut cases are JW's
by fresia ini have seen so many jw's that are fruit loops, i'm not meaning clinical depression or mental illness, many are just balmy, they seem to be off tap.
i would estimate that 1 in 4 are off their head.
disruptive behaviour and trouble makers, gossipers and out right rude, so many seem to have problems out of the normal, many i find are backward, maybe that is the one way street of indoctinization.. what experiences have any had..

A sense of great relief came over me when the 'elders' took it upon themselves to DF me. They decided that I wasn't repentant. The ball game was over for me then. I have NO regrets whatsoever. If anything, they did me a favor.
The organization is paying a price for this disfellowshipping practice.
