happy birthday
well, it's late.
i need to go to sleep, got home from work, but i thought i started a newbie thread why not a thread for those who have been on the board a long time , or for awhile now ?
so, lay it on me, what are your concerns for jwd ?
Agree with most of you. Biggest concern is the way some are doubting newbies within their first few posts!

Putting on a Kingdom Smile is not going to help them one little bit.
If we aren't pleasant to new ones, they are likely to feel that the borg is right about worldly peeps, internet sites etc. I disagree with your statement. I guess by thinking back to when you first were exiting this cult how you felt emotionally, how hard was it? Usually it takes a lot of courage to make your first post on this site. Lets be nice to newbies and not knock them back down while they are weak.
just interested to see who joined around the same time as me.

i presume a few of you have guilty consciences!!!.
what on earth is wrong with you????
I agree newbies come to this site usually going through a very hard time emotionally. The last thing they need is to feel not welcomed. Perhaps if some stopped assuming/judging this place would be a better place. I am sorry but this makes me mad. Shouldn't we be encouraging and showing care to new ones during their difficult time. Good on you Gran for bringing this up.
WITHIN THE BORG THERE IS SO MUCH JUDGING GOING ON - PLEASE DON'T BRING IT TO THIS PLACE
i started a serious thread on cult mind control- so i figured i'd start a sarcastic funny thread, or serious, your choice how to explore it , on personal study !
i got so sick and tired as a witness with that expression being crammed down my throat !
" personal study " they told us !
Personal Study um ah oh I'm sorry as a ex JW I wasn't educated and only know how to use a highlighter LOL, tis the only thing I was taught LOL
i just saw the eighth post by botheyesopen.
i noticed aliciaj, dogaradodya, chicken little, cognac, hypnotic, mochalatte.. some have been welcomed and some have not.. .

G'day and welcome to you all.
So glad you have found this place.
