  One I heard this morning....

  "The Society can't be responsible for what a few elders do, after all, they're imperfect men."

  Makes me want to puke.

  i just spoke on the phone to amazing (jim whitney) who is in intensive care in a chicago hospital.

  on monday he had a major heart attack, had a stint put in an artery to unblock things and may have bypass surgery.

  he's comfortable enough right now, but of course will have to make some big lifestyle changes.

  Preparation for Dateline & online interest

  by Kismet in

  1. social
  2. current

  dateline is just 24 hours (give or take) away.

  i really do expect to see a great deal of online activity as people search for more information.

  jwd is likely going to be one of the most visited due to the large amount of information posted here on the subject, much by silentlambs themselves.. i also expect to see people visiting randy's excellent site as well as watchtower observer for copies of documentation,news articles, etc.

  I know that when I first started lurking, I was put off by the sex threads. Now that I'm used to them, I rather enjoy it! But I do agree that the most important thing is getting witnesses to open their eyes, they need to see this as an informative and welcoming site.

  Can only fellow apostates understand us?

  by sleepy in

  can only fellow apostates understand us?.

  as a witness i often felt that i could only really get on , on a deep level with fellow witnesses.. they shared your outlook on life , and had similiar experiences and problems.kids who grew up as witnesses had been through the same things in school as me.. so even though i could get on with other people , in a way i felt connected to other witnesses.only they could understand me.. but know i feel an instant connection with apostates.. we now share the same things.in a even deeper way than when a witness , as what we have done has effected us even more.. is it possible to connect in the same way with people who havent been through the same things as us?.

  do you feel closer to others like you , and find it easier to make friends with such people?.

  Even your best friend, if they have never been a witness, cannot grasp the feeling of shock or grief you feel when you find out the org. is nothing that you thought it to be.
  Every one, no matter what they believe, knows that pedafiles(sp) are the most despicable creatures on earth. But try telling your best friend that the Society was associated with "the Wild beast, the great Harlot, etc." and they will look at you like you're nuts.

  WORLD OF XJWs - ESSAY

  by Amazing in

  world of xjws - essay .

  pondering the many comments made in the last week about xjws, one might wonder if we are obsessed with, and controlled indirectly by, our individual and collective watchtower experiences.

  it may seem to some that we blame the watchtower for every problem in our lives.

  Take Responsibility For Your Thrownness

  by non_trias_theos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we are the decisions we make.

  we are thrown into the world and left to make of it what we will.

  non trias thinks there is some truth to these observations.. god has allowed us to see the light of life so that we might make of it what we will.

  Subject: Potentially v. Realistically

  A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?"

  The father thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your brother if he'd sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that."

  So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great college!"

  The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I LOVE Brad Pitt! I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?!?!?"

  The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million could buy?"

  The boy pondered that for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically?" The boy replied, "Yes, sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a fag.

  This makes more sense that what you're saying.

  i was raised a witness, altough my parents have been inactive as long as i can remember.

  im not sure if this has been discussed before but id be interested to read some comments from those who became jws later in life.

  what caught your attention and sucked you in?.

  my parents became jws when i was 5 years old, so it was pretty much the only way of life that i knew.
