i'm going out on a limb here.
i have been racking my brain as of late, trying to remember names and faces of long ago.
no, i did not attend any congregation in massachusetts, ever.
Yea, Dwight Donnelly married Diane Hodgeson from Bridgewater. I think it was around the early 80's. He seemed like a rather boring person. Diane was a pioneer. Last I heard he was an elder. That congregation had a lot of problems with covering up sexual abuse. I wouldn't be surprised if it was hit with a lawsuit.

i drive by a kh every day, since it's very close to my work route, and i was wondering if anyone else secretly cheers that they don't have to go back into one of those things.
when i see a few cars parked there on the weekday, i am so thankful i don't have to go out and talk that stuff to strangers.
any thoughts?
I drive by my old kingdum hall every day on my way to work. I usually flip them the bird.
so now they have branded me an apostate and not fit to talk to, they have never met their 1 and 2 year old grandchildren and are smeering my name all over the place because i wont send thm pictures and let my wife email them with information on whats going on in my family...my outlook is simple...either they except my whole family including me or they can put the fact that they have a son and daughter-in-law and two grandchildren out of their minds...but now i am starting to doubt that...whats everyones thoughts?
Hey CraigSa,
Sorry to hear of your situation. However that's typical of the JW mentality. My family branded me also. To make a long story short, I told my family members that I am not a part time brother. Either accept me full time or not at all. So far they've tried to enter my life on the guise of necessary family business, when they do, It causes too much emotional turmoil, so I eventually mailed them a letter stating not to contact me. Now I have the power!! When I feel like contacting them, I will. I got tired of their JW $hit.

can somebody explain how that whole new arrangement of having to go to the hall to get your magazines now is working?
is that only for jws with subscriptions or does the public have to come to the hall for their magazines now?
was anybody else like me who had stacks of magazines that kept comin and comin and comin and never even took them out of the wrappers??
I get mine at the *^%(&%^ Laundromat !!!!

what happened in sodom & gomorah,.
concerning the people or perverts whom wanted to have sexual relations with the angels,sent by jehova god,.
lot offerd his daughters up to the crowd but no they wanted the young men ,as they were good looking most of the crowd were blinded,yes, how would jehovah punish the elders of today connected to child abuse cases ,would they receive immediate judgment ,as jehovah showed back in soddoms history , or would jehovah ignore the abusers,without punishment and allow them to continue forever without punishment as the watchtower and tract society does today, .
Ask minimus, he seems to be interested in sex today.
i just despise it.
colleges use it every time you turn around; there's a fee for something or other.
states use it like it was going to be outlawed tomorrow.
Yea, Here in Boston: ( no new taxes ) but additional fees for, Parking, Movie Tickets, Concerts, Entertainment. ect.

Sheez, they nickle and dime you to death !!!!!!
new light?
the oldies who can't attend the memorial can now stay home and get it delivered.
my gut feeling is that this is a sneaky way of confirming to the r&f that annointed are old... like the r&f are going to waste precious ink asking these sorts of questions - they're more likely to be asking: "should we call the police up on the child-molesting po in our congregation?
Nathan, you are funny !! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

while i certainly don't agree with jw doctrine, neither do i condone such activity.
The Watchtower gets what it deserves. The've been sowing seeds of deceit and corruption. Even covered up the violence within their own walls. What goes around comes around. Poetic Justice.
since dis-associating myself in 1998. i have been trying to move on with my life.
it has been difficult because my family has nothing to do with me anymore since they dis-owned me.
over the years they have popped into my life whenever they felt like it, unannounced !!!
Since Dis-associating myself in 1998. I have been trying to move on with my life. It has been difficult because my family has nothing to do with me anymore since they dis-owned me. Over the years they have popped into my life whenever they felt like it, unannounced !!! This causes a lot of pain. The last time it happened, I had to write a letter to each one of my family members stating that at this time I no longer want any communication with them.
Now here is my brother (who told me to my face that he wants nothing to do with me and says that I'm only his biological brother) sending me another damn letter !!!! I don't get it, doesn't he have a clue !!! Anyway I don't know what to do to get him off my back and out of my life. After all, he said he wanted nothing to do with me !!!!! Maybe he didn't receive my letter. I could send it certified mail. Should I consider a restraining order ??? I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, scumrat
