well, i've been kept pretty hectic lately, but thought i'd drop and update on all my jwd friends.. the fourth went awesomely, everything was done just at the last minute, screen porch, screens for the garage doors, decorating the garage like a banquet hall, all done.
tho i had to drive 80 miles round trip to pick up the screens on the third, and they were made wrong so i wound up re-framing my two 7x9 garage door openings to be able to use em!.
my daughter's young man had given his word to his family he'd be in duluth with them, so he did.
I was actually thinking about the forum on the way to work this morning and thought "Hey I wonder how Dave's rollin' ? Haven't seen a post from him for awhile."
Glad to have an update. Made me realize what a life-line this forum is to me right now.
Sounds like you had a great holiday. You are a great story teller.
i am a baptized jw that faded some years back.
in those days i deeply believed in the org and became disillusioned by some things happening in the local congregation.
following some research on the net i decided to fade out of watchtower existence because i did not want to keep mixing with false religion (or so i thought at the time).
YES, YOU ARE NUTS !
And so is Surfrusty.
as many of you may know, i'm currently an ms and pioneer, and been missing meetings consistently for almost 2 months.
i have been concerned about my dad's reaction to me wanting to leave the org and he's been questioning me about missing meetings.
well i've decided now not to jump through the elders' hoops anymore.
R.F.- Good for you ...life's too short.
ladyofsmiles - that taste isn't the end getting closer, you must have thrown up a little bit in your mouth, I know I did when I read what you posted.
Wake up and smell the coffee!

i may be late, and it may have been posted before, but i just came across this site that seems to have many jws posting and it's an eye opener for sure.
i read many posts, and some posters are just a step away from being here.
Way back in May, which now seems a lifetime ago, I tried to register twice and never got an answer. I am glad of that because I found this forum and now feel right at home. It helped me see the "truth about the truth" so much quicker than if I had started posting there.
I wanted to believe that Robert King was right about the "evil" slave and that it was still Jehovah's organization. It is just so obvious,IMHO,that it never could have been.
I"m glad I know what I know even though I was in shock for several weeks. The NGO/UN and Silent Lambs issues hit me pretty hard.
The truth has set me free and I am thankful for that, and for all of you.
Good to have you here !
At the risk of appearing stupid (LOL - I was in a cult for 30 years), I really don't have a clue what this is all about.

my husband said he never heard anything like that.
i told him that was the point, that we don't even notice the bull****.. where can i get the most ludicrous quotes and when did they decide they are the mediator for the rest of us ?.
anything on this subject will help.
I love you all ! Many thanks.
i recently had a very interesting conversation with an online friend.
she was baptized at 12 years old because her 15-year-old boyfriend was baptized, and she wanted to spend time with him.
pioneering was the only option, so she got baptized.
Children being baptized makes my blood boil. JW's make such a big deal of not baptising infants. The only difference is these children get to blame themselves for making what should be an adult decision.

I will probably not be back on the computer until Saturday.
