i 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.

do you still go to the assembly just to laugh quietly inside?

a few days ago someone asked me what my name meant, 'miss 8572.

as an unabashed star trek fan i find all the references to the witnesses as "the borg" on this site really charming.

when coming up with my name i just thought "what is anti-borg?

this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.

the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.

my husband was all excited and begged her to play .

2. experiences
so hello everyone... i'm a brand new member and happy to be here... to know i am not alone.

i have been a jw since birth however i was never "encouraged"/forced to get baptised by my parents (lucky me!

) i always considered myself a member on the fringes of my congeregation and almost everybody treated me as a member even though i never commented or went in service.

How did you feel when first posting on JWD?
by R.F. in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was in heavy doubt about the organization, but still in the back of my mind i was a bit hesitant of posting because it was the "unforgivable sin".

i think it took me 20 minutes to type my first post.

i still felt that once i submitted my post that a bolt of lightning was going to come down upon me, so my hands were shaking as i was typing.

what's in it for the women???
by chelsea in
1. jw
2. friends
i have often wondered what's in it for the women???

i just read the story of minimus and it is so clear that such power and privilege on offer to males in the borg would be enticing and probably addictive... but the women will never have such offers or opportunities.

they will always be required to be in subjection.

Strange Talks
by AgentSmith in
1. jw
2. experiences
the thread regarding how the ms and elders keeping up the facade while knowing its all wrong made me think of something.. this happened in the ministerial service meeting.

the ms started his part on the program but it was soon evident that he was not firing on all cylinders.

his speech was monotone, slurred even.
