  Please can we all have a go at describing and celebrating our different NEW IDENTITIES, versus our OLD WBTS IDENTITY?

  by Fernando in

  at one time most of us here identified as jws who follow the wbts gb/fds who claim to follow the bible etc.

  some of us are journeying to a new identity, others may feel they already have a new identity.. although we likely have gone in many different directions, we share a common past which only ex-members can really understand and explain.

  please could we each respectfully share and celebrate our unique perspectives of where we have come from, and where we each are now at on this journey?.

  i saw the thread about being tired of one's job...and it got me thinking.

  while there are things about my job that i'm not particularly fond of (like the paperwork) i have to say i really have nothing to complain about... here are a few reasons why...some of the fun stuff.... as part of my job i attend csi meetings (construction specifications institute) we have monthly dinner meetings, usually at maggiano's in boston.

  last month we had a special event and toured the new shalin liu center for chamber music in rockport, ma it was designed by one of the firms i call on.... sits on the water...fabulous site.

  What's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?

  by A.Fenderson in

  what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

  my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.

  it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.

  What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

  and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

  so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

  2. friends

  here's the scenario......... it's friday evening and you've arrived home from work, ready to enjoy the night at home watching a movie.

  your home is averagely tidy and clean, your fridge and cupboards contain the food and drink they're normally stocked with, nothing special.. at 7pm the doorbell rings.

  you open the door and two couples are standing there, friends of yours that two weeks ago you invited over for supper tonight.
