Yes...it is true. Though my picture here is fairly close to what I really look like...I am hitting the big 50 tomorrow. Since I shall be busy tomorrow celebrating my fifty years of existence and especially my almost 5 years of freedom from the (B)org...please be kind to this old lady and stop by and wish me a Happy Birthday! (Shameless self promotion and I don't give a damn! Oops...can I day that here?). This will be the first time I feel comfortable acknowledging my birth as an emancipated woman...free from (B)orgdom.
I love you all...you've been a true shelter from the storm over the past few years. And that ain't no lie guys.

i was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about an announcement to be made at the memorial this year?
my family is repeatedly pressuring me to go and the newest approach is that they've heard about an announcement, never made before, that concerns innactive ones or ones who have fallen away,, that is all that they would tell me.
are they going to come find and disfellowship us unless we go back or can we now come back "no questions asked" (yah right)?
It may possibly be an announcement to come and do yard clean up next week.
you all don't sound like friends of mine.
nor ones i want to be friends with.
you sound like feinds not friends.
If you don't like the cooking then get out of the kitchen...or is it if it's too hot in the kitchen get out of the kitchen...or is it if you complain about the cooking then do it yourself. I don't know. Arghhhhhhhhh....I can't believe I'm even replying to this thread. Not much else to do I guess.

jehovah's witnesses hold caucus on sex abuse
saturday, march 27, 2004
I am delighted to report that our local newspaper...The Central Wisconsin Sunday edition, which circulates not only in my hometown of Stevens Point but also other localities here in central Wisconsin...carried this article in the front section, pg. 9. Huge bold headlines and, to make things even better, right underneath was an article entitled "Russian Court Bars Religious Sect From Moscow". Yup...a double whammy!! Of course the remarks by the bottom feeder J.R. Brown were so typical of what the JW's use to try to maintain some sort of "damage control". Is there no end to their lies and deceptions??? Me thinks not.
But I was most happy to see these articles in our local newspaper. I hope it has an impact as our small town is mostly made up of the Catholic persuasion. I am sure that they are glad to read an article that brings out the criminal acts of another religion besides their own.

i just purchased, at amazon.com, and i am anxiously awaiting the arrival of, two of raymond franz's books, crisis of conscience and the other one .
christian freedom i think it was called.
for those who have read them; would you please give some sort of brief review of these books and rate them either "
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cathy L.
i was wondering just what the percentage would be on those who .
have left and at some point turn to another group or church.. i know from my own trials that i will never be a part of any.
organization.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when you look back at your witness life, you probably can see that you were regularly exposed to traumatic conditions and situations because you were a jw.
thinking back, was there anything that stood out in your mind that especially wounded you?
I could probably answer the question: "What's the Least Traumatic Thing That's Every Happened To You As A Witness" much easier. Too many trauma's...too little time to go into detail. When I look back at our involvement in this cult over four decades...I can now see that it was just one event after another. And we took it like good little JW's. Don't complain. Don't make waves. (For any further information on our "trauma" that got us out of this cult you can look under my topics and "coming out of the closet". This though was only the "tip of the iceberg".)

P.S. Who as a JW DOESN'T have a horror story to tell??? It would be a rare individual me thinks.
