Oh my goodness, I can't believe they got caught doing that in front of a bible student! They try to keep that stuff covered up until you are trapped/baptized.
Good for you for standing up to them, Strawberry Cake! I'm so sorry you are experiencing this heartbreaking treatment, but you should be so proud of yourself for showing your former student what a true Christian attitude is!
I hope your sons see it for what it is and never treat you this way. My parents shun me and it hurts so badly.

Awake quotes Forrest Gump!!
by dinah injust got a september '08 awake in my paws.. the cover asks "is there life beyond the grave".
they have a quote from forrest gump (of course he wasn't mentioned by name but i've seen the movie a million times).
it says roughly: in a movie a young man is shown standing by his mother's grave.

Undercover said: I remember one of the magazines quoted the Beatles of all people...
It was an article on tobacco and/or smoking, maybe quiting smoking and it quoted the line from the Lennon song, "I'm So Tired" where he sings about getting another cigarette and "curse Sir Walter Raleigh..."
But they left out the rest of the line, "...he was such a stupid git"
Dinah, thanks for sharing! That is just ridiculous. -

Things you are now embarrassed you disclosed on jwd
by rebel8 inwhat are some things you posted here that you are now embarrassed about?
here's a classic.
it totally brought down a funny thread, and totally embarrassed me because others' reactions made me realize how dysfunctional my childhood was.

Wow, Rebel, I know this is sort of off topic, but after reading your post I have to say you poor thing, your mother was super messed up and manipulative and abusive! I'm glad you survived.
Rachel
P.S. On topic, I'm sure I've posted things I wish I hadn't, but I am not about to go bring them back up for anyone who hasn't seen them previously. They are happily buried, and that's where they'll stay. I hope. -

I feel vindicated
by Junction-Guy ini recently discovered that it wasn't me after all, and that some people are just jerks.
i am at peace.

I'm sorry, Amanda, but I agree with what Lola says. We are not attacking JG. We are responding to very disrespectful comments he is making on a public board. If you feel this is hazing Dave then I feel a little sorry for you. If you run around calling people names how can you be offended when they respond in kind? I hope you both find your own peace; it doesn't seem like you have enough.

JG said: "If you have treated me with respect, then don't have a guilty conscience, because it is not about you."
It's not about you, changeling, it's about JG! It's always about JG! When will this board figure that out? In fact, could we please change the board to be called "Junction-Guys-Jehovahs-Witness.com"? Please, Simon? Wow, that would be going out with a bang, now wouldn't it?

Tell Simon why we want JWD to stay... our apprecaition...
by burningbridges inok, i'll start, maybe if we can all tell simon our reason why this site means so much to us he will reconsider and leave it here.
this site has given me the courage to speak out.
i used to be ashamed of my history with the witnesses.

What makes you so sure, kerj? Seriously. Are you saying Simon is just messing with us? I don't get your post.
Maybe not messing with you, but it's sure nice to hear how important this site is.
Hey, I don't personally want to spend hours and hours running and moderating a discussion forum. I like the freedom I have to just post and read and contribute when I have time to spend here. So, I don't mind letting Simon know how much we appreciate the site. I think he (and Ang, and the mods) deserve to hear it from us, and should have heard it from us without things coming to this. Whether or not he is shutting it down (which I think he should stick to his word, even though I am really sad to see it go), this thread is just about some waaaaaaaaaaay overdue appreciation, the way I see it.
