l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.
Anyway ...
This subject seems to have been done to death so perhaps I can welcome captaingrl to the forum.
I note your 60 plus posts in 5 days and you tell us you love Trump and think he will be remembered as a Churchill but perhaps you can contribute to the forum by giving us a little background and perhaps some advice on how "still in" and "ex-jw's" can cope with the Watchtower Society and all its trappings?
Thanks in advance.

This is a joke, right? AM3?
It's a day early for the broadcast assuming it is out on Monday 1st January 2018.
A funny one, mind.
i'd like share why i went from being a teenager determined to work in full time service for jehovah my entire life, to now being on here commiserating with you all.
i use to be an atheist but i now believe in god.
but i'm not preachy about god.
Wow! You could write a book.
Oh ... you already have!
Welcome and thanks for sharing. Very much appreciated.
for the holidays my girlfriend and i had planned to travel home and enjoy some time in our home area and visit with all our families.
she has several siblings and both our parents are divorced and living separately so it was a really busy time traveling around visiting each home.
my girlfriend was never a jw, but as for me i have been df'd for about 7 years now.
There was also a mid week meeting a couple of months ago replaying the DF scandinavian girl video from the 2016 Regional Assembly where dearest mommy doesn't even pick up the phone to her DF'd daughter and by so not doing is instrumental in bringing her back into the fold.
my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.

What's the distance across that disc in the post previous to this one?
And the distance from the tip of South Africa to the tip of South America?
the following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.
just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.
we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.
I wonder whether "Fisherman" will be obeying this edict?
"An online forum is not an appropriate setting for “instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed.”
