i posted here just a little back in january of 2001. i scrambled out of here right quick then since i was still active and fearful of so many things.
i am inactive but not exactly a non jw yet.
i am a conservative person and still believe that some of the teachings of jws are good though i do not agree with everything that's for sure!
SixofNine,
Thank you for the welcome and the link! It's so good to communicate with people who have gone down the same road. Nothing like it. I don't celebrate Christmas but this place comes the closet to a Christmas tree with presents under it for me.

Very good article, thank you. I agree with the writer and in an odd sort of way am proud he is a former brother. He expressed himself very well and I feel rightly.

i was thinking this morning on some things, and the story/series on hbo currently, carnivale, is showing the not so nice side of humanity.
we all have our dark side.
everybody in this world has one, i believe.
I agree with Franklin J. The Society is on automatic they don't know how not to preach and preach and keep busy for the end. Also I believe they feel that if the brothers keep busy doing things related to seeking the Kingdom they are safeguarded from the world.
Unfortunately, the brothers are not only safeguarded from the world they are also safeguarded from living!

DantheMan,
Nice to meet you. Well, I don't think I'm the Sabrina you mentioned but for now I will not say where I'm from. Fear of losing those I love controls everything I write here.
I wish it were not that way but there is nothing I can do about it.
Thank you for the hello though.

Jeff,
I'm so sorry I somehow missed your very kind post before. Thanks so much for the encouragement, I've looked all over the place for a religion that would somehow fit me and well have looked in vain.
My hope is in God and your post as well as the others here have been a boon to me.
Thank you.

The FDS has broken so many hearts. They have claimed to speak for God as his interpreters of the Bible but have failed to do the very thing Jesus said they should do and that is to have love for the sheep.
They have put their love for a manmade Organization over that for the sheep. They have betrayed us. After years of obedience and sacrifice this is a very hurtful realization!
Sabrina
ok i rarely ask questions but hey i might as well do this too.
but to make life a lot easier for you i will put tham all in one thread when you first came here what did you expect?what were you looking for?did you find it and if so how?if you were looking for information how did you look for it - ask a question?
wander through the threads?
Lady Lee,
When I first came here early in 2001 I was looking for someone to discuss scriptural topics. I ran away quickly because I was still active and fear overcame me. Also the atmosphere seemed to be different then.
Today I'm here because I am now inactive and hope to find friends as well as to discuss those things which are important to me.
