  "She simply deleted MissingLink as a friend on facebook cuz he wrote some scathing reviews of the Society's publications"

  I was deleted by four JW's "friends" from Facebook too. Simply because they heard a rumor of me having doubts. But they haven't spoken to me or question me anything. In the recent convention I was invisible for one of them.

  I am an active JW in good standing. Go figure.

  From the 70's I love The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the family (I've seen them recently). But when I was a young girl I watch every week Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman.

  I read the book (out of curiosity) and enjoyed it a lot. She's really an outstanding person.

  hi everyone, i'm new here, been viewing the board for a while, decided to join yesterday.. so i'm about 95% convinced now the wts is bogus, but i'm still in coz as yall know leaving is the hardest part.

  i plan on doing a fade to avoid the complete disconnection, but first want to gradually help my gf to see things too.

  in the meantime, i'm just wondering how many of you are still "active" jdubs?

  How many of us remember the Jonestown massacre?

  by james_woods in

  by that i meant - how many remember being an active jw when this happened?.

  what was the general reaction from the rank & file, the elders, even the co/do?

  does anybody remember there being magazine articles on this?.

  I was 10 years old when it happened and I remember it vividly. The scene: hundreds of people lying dead. From the air they looked like confetti. I don't remember the reactions in my congregation, but at home was pure shock.

  i'm new to the forum.

  i've been lurking for some time, since i was "disconnected" by my husband, "tooktheredpill".

  i'm a 3rd generation witness, and still inside of the borg, because all my family is inside.

  Most overrated movies

  by keyser soze in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i apologize in advance to those i may offend, but are some movies i've always thought were way overrated:.

  apocalypse now- a three-hour boat ride (four if you watch the director's cut) with occasional shooting.

  and what's the payoff?

  i am a bit of a yo yo dieter - i have been dieting ever since i was a teenager, and my role model for this was my mom of course.

  in fact one of my very early memories of going shopping with mom and her buying a diet shake mix.

  well... i have a little girl who is almost three and i have been thinking about things and i really need to break this cycle of crash diets, losing 5 kgs and picking up 10 once i have lost motivation.
