Your vs You're....Its vs It's....There vs Their..
by Terry inwriting and speaking is all about communication.. if we are casually engaged the level of precision vanishes.
simple ideas=simplified language.. but, as we attempt to convey accuracy, specificity and numerical precision--what then?
without a clear standard is proper communication headed for extinction?.

New Member...
by sosoconfused inhello everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. i am a mid 30's just stepped aside elder, who just couldn't handle it anymore.. i am a 3rd generation born-in and former pioneer and bethelite.
it has been a log somewhat confusing ride for me, but i am finally settling in to realizing that i need to really look at what me and my family are doing.. .
its funny though what really got me here... it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble, it wasn't the watching young people bail left and right, it wasn't the ever changing new light etc... but a simple thought.. .

This is a really good article that I first read albeit a little too late because we did the fast forward exit. It's titled How I Helped my Family to Leave Jehovah's Witnesses. Maybe someone will make it clickable.

When Did You Stop Attending The Memorial At the Hall? Celebrate L.E.M. With Friends Online?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini am still new to the business of fading and once i stop attending the memorial with all the dubs around me, my former friends will definitly put my shepherding call on hold.
i am sure some of the friends faded quick and never turn their back toward the kingdom hall again.
i am curious if others took a longer approach to fading and dropping off completly.

I began my fade at the end of the year 2007. I have not attended since. They know we aren't going back and so far have left us alone. A few visits by the elder who feels responsible for us leaving. A couple visits by well meaning r&f members. I could never walk in a kh again.

You have my support. It's a lonely job. Do your best and don't worry about the rest. I'm glad you stop to notice the birds.

Hortensia, It would be a unique experience to be able to do that trip with you, or maybe meet up in the UK. I'd like to meet those British folks too. One of my goals is to see Ireland. I'd have to do that if I got over there. Who knows? It could happen.

What are your reasons for posting here?
by sonnyboy ini'm curious as to what drives some people to post at certain boards.. for me, i first came here over a year ago thinking this was a pro-jw site, ready to jump on the dubs.
lol.
little did i know.... i posted here exclusively for a while, but then found that the repetitive topics became tedious.

Although I don't contribute too much I come here daily just to see whats new, kind of like skimming the newspaper. I sympathize, admire, commiserate and cheer with everyones lives. We've gone through too much and it's just something that's become part of my life. There are days or even weeks (occasionally) where I might not check in. I figure this is the best place to find out how close we're getting to watching the Watch Tower lose its control.

I have met Flipper and the Mrs. who are really cool people, I hope I get to hang with them again. Also met Mrs Jones and hubby and kids (awesome). Met this cool girl (escapes me) she works for the Nat'l Parks. BUT: I would like to meet Hortensia. We are the same age (63). She was the first one to greet me (on another forum), she is so sassy and I like all of her recipes (from the other forum) and she just seems really cool and we live on the same coast. I think she travels from time to time with her work so hey it could happen.

Happy Birthday, what a life you've lead. We all have a story. Today I saw Le Miserables, it was our 44th wedding anniversary. Everyone endures something, yes? I like your spirit.
