Meanwhile here's what active Dubs are saying (some Facebook comments copied)

X: Paragraph 17......WOW

X: They had me at paragraph 16. Almost gave up but they saved the best for last. (<---- wonder what he meant by "almost gave up")

X: I loved it and we had a great talk too about Jacob! Made me think of the sentence in the upcoming KM that says "Will this be the last Memorial?" Now is definitely the time if we aren't already!

X: Good and timely reminders for me. Jehovah is stronger than our freshly enemies. Really, really good study

X: I am going to start calling XXXX (elder) Bro. Duke lol

Thanks Blondie

@serindipity

We love it out there. I am from a boring mid-west state, so we go there to visit as much as possible. We're staying for 2 weeks total...only 3 of those days will suck (you can guess which 3)

My wife and I are going to take a little trip, just the 2 of us and go up to Victoria BC, than back down through Port Angeles and hit the coast.

There's a really cool small development north of Ocean Shores, Wa that has really nice houses to rent.

Despite the DC we'll have fun!

Anyone here being forced to go to the Int DC in Sea. It is July 4-6 at University of Wa Stadium. My wife unfortunately just booked airfare to SEA yesterday. I got the surprise when I got home. She shouldn't have because we are not delegates. She feels it's ok cause her Bro lives there and wanted her to come.

I'm sure that'll F%$# up the numbers if a bunch of rogue "uninvited" Dubs show up.

How Long Have You Been Viewing Thiis Site? Does It Serve Its Purpose For You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .

it keeps evolving.

sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.

tresdecu

I've been here since 07...reading and absorbing for about a year before I registered. My first post was scary, I still go back and re-read it every now and then for sentimantal reasons ;-)

I am so happy Simon has created a place for us all to come together and share, weather it a thread about 'what do you like on you sandwiches' or "BIG NEWS from Mother Ship" I always enjoy reading something on here.

It's great to know what an interesting slice of humanity "we" all our as "brother and sisters" The WT has created a crazy culture, and it's always interesting to see how many of us have seen the same things, heard the same comments, gotten the same counsel or whatever....

For me this site definately serves its purpose. I am glad I have a place to come to vent.

GO SEAHAWKS!!

Just out of curiosity, how many elders (current & ex) do we have here?

me.

BUMP

Great thread. Hortensia...I don't think anyone is trying to say they're special because they used to be an elder. For me as a lurker 6 years ago, it helped break the hold the WT had to see Gifts-in-Men (elders) posting here.

Maybe it will help newbies, and lurkers to see super spiritual guys who don't believe anymore ;-)

A DOUBLE LIFE - What's the worst case you've seen

by sizemik in

jw
friends

lots of jw's lead a double life.

many are young people that simply go through the motions until they can free themselves .

others have relatives or family still trapped .

I had a good friend back in the 90s that lived close by. we hung out a lot. We were both young MSs in our 20s. He was married, I was not at the time. I had no idea how sexually "crazy" him and his wife were. One night we were sitting around and he 'joked' that he would let me have his wife for the evening. She was in the room too and smiled at me, Had I gone for it I'm %99 sure they were serious. We laughed off the awkward moment.

The previous week he was on stage giving his 2nd pub talk.

After the friendship faded away a few years later. I found out from my cousin, whoes dad was PO, that they had both been reproved for having a 3some, once with a girl, once with a guy.

All the while he was an MS giving parts and going out in service...he played the part well. Looking back now, I'm glad they had some fun.

No judgement here ;-)
