No kidding? Did I mention I just knew of him 'cause of the daughter. Willie did provide the pioneer school with coffee every morning and afternoon. Can you believe they didn't have any because of cut backs from the congregations to serve. CAN EVERYONE SAY PLEASE, SOMETHING TO HELP US TO KEEP US FROM SLEEPING IN THE AFTERNOON! Those circuit overseers that were teaching sometimes just liked the sound of their own voices. Spare me! They are all a$$holes, huh?!

Does anyone know the Willie Tatum mentioned in the article? I went to pioneer school with his daughter in the 90's, I don't think she goes anymore. I don't remember her first name. He used to live in Herndon, VA and had a Latino grocery store. I knew he had moved his family to Florida, it gave me the creeps to be reading something about Florida and see someone's name that I knew. He was really stuck in the wt. Hope his daughter didn't go back. Also, if we had early meeting lots of us would go out to a local restaurant for food. No one ever invited anyone to their house after the memorial, it was a day off!

do you have any special skill or ability that makes you different from others---pro or con?.
Everyone give yourselves some time to find out what you will be good at! I am like mini I love being around people again and am fun to be with, too. Ask my friends that I hang with each weekend.

i have been lurking for a while, just joined.
nice to see there are so many others out there who feel/felt how i feel.... long story short - i was born into it, started having doubts about age 6, but what can you do when you have over controlling parents whose only goal is to make you a pioneer and ship you off to bethel so you can be like your goody-two-shoe brothers.
suffered through my school years being bullied with no friends - parents made sure that i was very different from other kids inc how i dressed and even what i ate to the point where i was apparently known as the ugly hippie.
Welcome, CrazyBlonde, we are all pretty crazy here ourselves. Some have been out a long time others just left or fading. I left in 2005. Glad you have taken the first steps to join in and not just continue to lurk without posting. It is good to breathe the air of freedom from the wt and start using your mind again.

i have been lurking in the shadows for a while now i just got my account from the fine administrators of this board.
i have really enjoyed reading the well thought out comments and critiques of the wts doctrine.. i have been around the wts since i was 5 i left for a while during high school got to live a little worldly/normal life then got sucked back in.
my wife has been raised in the truth and even though weve been inactive (for a while now), she still has thoughts about the earthly hope and seeing her grandparents some day.
Welcome DarthFader. Hope your fade is over and you are both on the road to happiness on the outside. You have come to the dark side but remember "we have cookies!"

Getting out was sad at first. I became introverted for the first time in my life, trying to figure out what I was going to do, what to believe in, and how to make friends outside. I am an outgoing person and usually happy. My former husband had his freedom from the Borg a few years earlier. He was ready to do everything he had wanted to since he was in for almost 30 years. I gave him plenty of room to express himself and explore. The marriage ended. Now I am really learning how to live on my own for the first time in my life since the divorce. I am at peace with myself and my life right now. Don't have to cook or clean for anyone but me and my house is taking shape with my personality, finally. I am looking forward to my birthday this year, soon. I had my first Christmas tree this past year, it was lovely. I regained my family, and his family are still very nice to me. Everyone was so happy we left the dubs. I have made new friends where I live and gained a better outlook on my freedom. I am almost to the place I want to be that I can say I am happy. Still have some days that I grieve over the loss of my best friend and husband. Have been spending more time by myself to get comfortable with it and it works. Welcome to all the new ones on here who are just getting started with their posting. It is good to move on with your new life.

I forgot to mention our website is on Facebook for S.A.V.E. Join up if you like. Some are vegatarians! I have been known to be one before but do eat fish again. I miss a steak every once in awhile and those chickens! I can remember as a child my mother fixed rabbit and I couldn't figure out what it was and when I found out I got sick. She never did that again.

I am against it. I belong to local group S.A.V.E. Saving Animals Via Education. A bunch of us are going down to see our Congressman to tell him we don't want slaughter houses in Tennessee. Most of these horses are just being killed for the meat to sell it to countries that eat it. That seems very wrong to me. Thank you all for your posts.
