Tee shirt with foolish WT quotes, I will wear to reunion with witnesses
by dawg inas many of you know, i've been writing letters to family members telling them how damn stupid i think the gb is; providing proofs of all their comedic gaffs (building mansions for prophets and the like) including some of their most outlandish quotes-which i know all of us can remember verbatim.
spurned on by mary and others in this site, i've decided that i will try a new ploy.
my family reunion is every labor day and i've decided to wear a tee shirt to it with russell, rutherford, and franz's images on it... i will include images of a pyramid, beth sarim, on the front and 607?

It feels good not to be under that kind of control anymore
by troubled mind indid you feel guilty when you missed meetings for no good reason ?
did you feel you had to hide from other witnesses seing you ?
how did it make you feel if someone did see you , the next time you saw them did you make-up some excuse ?.

Today in the UK is Father's Day. I bought a card for Besty from our two little baby boys. My two year old gave it to Besty this morning. Besty just said to me "do you know, I think that's the one thing that the Org has stolen from me that I will never get over - that feeling of not being guilty to feel special on Father's Day or my Birthday". I felt incredible sad but determined that time will heal and there is nothing wrong with feeling special occasionally. We should all make the extra special effort to ensure that everyone we know feels they are truly unique and special and the world would be a poorer place without them. Any of you guys identify with this? How long does it take to finally let go of those guilt feelings for celebrating what was drummed into you as being a 'pagan festival'?

Bad biblical names for a child
by erandir inthe practice of choosing biblical names for children is present in many forms of christianity.
in latin america, countless boys are named jesus either as a first name or second name.
there is even that singer jesus jones.

good friends of ours (hardline J-Dubs) have a boy called Jonah - oh dear.
other friend also J-Dub has an email address beginning gedaliah@... he's just a bit left field though.
how about:
Gehazi - would make a good accountant/lawyer/real estate agent
Nimrod - potential Cage Rage contestant?
Beelzebub - sounds kinda cute really - perhaps a career in childcare? -

My Story
by jwfacts ini received an email from a lawyer who has been studying with witnesses for some time.
he wanted to know my story, if i am disfellowshipped and if i have an axe to grind, in order to know if the information at jwfacts.com can be trusted.
i was raised a jw, my aunty and uncle, many cousins and grandparents are jws.

Great letter JWF, let's hope he thinks twice about making a commitment. Any hard evidence to support your claim about the divorce rates amongst JW v general population? the education and income levels?

i spend about 2-3 hrs per night actively participating and browse throughout the day.. my boss allows me to do this because i 'm very good at multi-tasking.

I think we should all submit a report at the end of the month each month as to how long we have spent on here and how many posts we have made and how many new ones we have introduced to the forum and whether those ones have begun posting. If any become inactive we should all pm/email them to ask them what's happened, are they ok?, etc.........

We all feel the pain of the WT, now what will we do about it?
by dawg ini just wanted to make one simple statement... i've heard many say that they can't get out of this bull, they just faded so they wouldn't have to deal with all the issues that are sure to arise if they use confrontation.
many have said they can't stand to lose family members and the like and that's why they've chasen to fade rather then speak out.
here's what i've lost becasue i've chosen to tell the truth about the bastards.

Slim - your right to stay for whatever reason is respected and I totally agree that there are many lovely sincere people but the comparison to people who go to church for the music doesn't equate. By staying you are giving your support and helping keep alive a religion that continues to cause deep pain and emotional abuse to many, some even commit suicide because of it. If more people took a stand then a change for the better might result. Your doing nothing contributes to no change. This is not a criticism but just my thoughts :-)

Love the publishing company idea and the crossed out dates ideas! How bout "If we promote a No Blood stand, we'll get extra publicity and be persecuted, then all witnesses will think they have the truth!" (can't remember the guy in Bethel that put forward this comment but it is on a thread somewhere, anyone care to elaborate? A contemporary of Fred Franz I believe)
