1st post
by bbdodger inhey everyone... i'm so happy that a forum like this exists.
it makes me feel like i'm not the only one.
even my mother, who has been disfellowshipped for nearly 20 years still calls sites and literature like this "apostate".

bbdodger, hello! and Thanks for your post. There does seem to be a language that only those caught in the nets of the wts understand. I spent my first days here lurking reading and laughing when I would read the play on words used here for witless (theres one) terms. Welcome aboard!

I saw your logon name 'Okiesooner' and the topic, and I thought you were going to be looking for other Oklahoman's for a meetup. I guess the wts has its claws into pretty tight into its members here as I've only met one other Okie.

At the building I worked at in Denver at the time they had a wall of big-screen tv's used to keep up on the status of the network they owned. The tv's in the corners were always tuned in to the various cable news channels and were visible to everyone who entered the elevators. That morning lots of people were blocking the view so I walked up and asked what was going on. The first building had been struck and the people watching were commenting about how sad it was. Then, as we watched the second plane hit. It seemed like everyone of us was punched in the stomach. A tall guy in the back said it loud enough for everyone to hear, "Holy $h**! We're under attack!!"
I watched until it was reported that the Pentagon had been hit, then I went to my office and called my wife. The hospitals had been put on lock-down until further notice and she didn't know when she could leave.
So many things changed during that one morning. The first one that comes to my mind is that no matter where we move to now the first thing we do is pick 3 alternate places to meet in case there is a disaster and we can't meet at home. We grew up in tornado-ville and having one place to meet was common, but we never had to think of 3 further and further away from our home in case of a disaster. Fear sucks.

What Are your Favorite Hobbies? Things you do for Fun ?

I design handcuffs in my spare time, but as you can see from my avatar I'm not very good at it. j/k
I'd love to have some hobbies but 'this old house' keeps stealing all my time. It seems that just as I finish (and pay for) one project something else breaks, pops, fails or explodes.
Mrs. Eagle is the consummate project/hobby person. I'd love to have her ability to stop one project and pick up another and not be bothered that the first wasn't completed.

All right, which one of you guys did it?
by RisingEagle in(j/k but i do wish to subscribe to your newsletter).
i had an interesting dinner conversation a few evenings ago with my staunch jw 'rental unit.
it started out with the usual small talk that eventually led to them bringing up the plane crash with the rbc members.

Tula, I think I remember the threads which you mentioned. In the conversation I had they were certain that 'the apostates' had somehow made the transmission from the kh cease and began transmitting aposta-speak instead.

How Many Here Got Depressed Once You Realized It Wasn't The "Truth"?
by minimus inwere you extremely saddened or in despair once you realized you'd been duped??
?

I guess I would have been considered depressed if I had taken the time to see a medical professional. I spent a long time hearing the mantra, "where else will you go, where else will you go" in my head. I'll also admit to spending some time under the alfluence of incohol. I feel the only thing that brought me out was just time. I probably would have gotten my head back together more quickly if I had others to bounce my feelings off of on sites such as JWD.

I had an interesting dinner conversation a few evenings ago with my staunch jw 'rental unit. It started out with the usual small talk that eventually led to them bringing up the plane crash with the RBC members. I cut in and told them I had already heard about it over the weekend and filled in some details they were missing (In my first post on JWD I mentioned how much I love this website because I get information way before my deeply involved jw relatives even get their grapevine going). That brought on a full 30 second sulk until they remembered something I could have no way of knowing and was said loud enough to freeze everyone at a 5 table radius:
"Sister So-and-so from XXX congregation said THE APOSTATES HAVE INFILTRATED THEIR PHONE LINES!"
I was about to snicker out loud until a well placed shin-kick from Mrs. Eagle brought me back from near Valhalla. "Apostates? Really!?" small snicker, thigh pinch, "Um, how would they get into the phone lines?" They didn't know but said that XXX congregation could not transmit talks over the phone line. I was a little giddy so I asked what kinds of things the ‘apostates’ were transmitting. They replied, "I don't know that! Whatever they want! But isn't it great that jehovah allowed the elders to catch it before it did any damage!"
I managed to make it to the men's room before laughing out loud. I still laugh when I think of them using the word 'infiltrate'.
(Disclaimer: I do not condone sabotage of privately owned property and feel that those who do such acts should be punished by being forced to drink disgusting-tasting hard liquor. In point of fact, I so abhor such actions that I would buy the disgusting-tasting hard liquor to be forced on the offender or offenders.)
