  I am seriously considering writing an E-book

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it is wise for a first time writer to write about what he knows, so i will write about my lifetime as a jehovah's witness.

  but it will likely be less autobiographical and more about the sub-level markers that eventually pointed me out of the cult, doctrinal matters that bothered me under the surface, and the very real lack of love in that organization.. ideas?

  thoughts?

  they say the average person will own about 25 cars in their life time.. from 1982 to 1988 i owned a 1971 dodge challenger convertible.

  it had a 340 with a 4 speed stick.

  i loved that car.. i didnt cry when my wife left me....i did cry when that car drove out of my life!.

  will you go on vacation this year?

  will you curtail your driving habits due to the cost of fuel?

  will you cut back your spending for special occasions?.

  Were You Ever Treated "Differently" Because One of Your Family Members Was Disfellowshipped?

  by Was New Boy in

  "by their love"...... shunning in the "borg" many times has effected not just the person that was dfed but other family members too.. my father was dfed in 1962 for "rebeliousness against the organization" he wanted to go to a different kh than we were assigned to.

  needless to say that decision was later reversed.. that was strange, but how the witnesses treated my mother, sister and myself....was even stranger.

  it was as if.... we now had some kind of leprosy.

  I felt the weird juxaposition of being in a divided household. I was the same, but not quite. He blew shit back at the elders. I love him for that, many years later . . . .

  well, i walked in and got the love-bombing before i even made it past the foyer.

  everyone's missed me, everyone's thrilled that i came, blah, blah, blah.

  to be fair though, there were a few there that i do miss so it was nice to see them.

  Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

  remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

  what about the thousands that don't get caught?

  So I got me some business cards made at a Fedex Office shop in town

  by sabastious in

  2. friends

  i am in the middle of starting a web development business and i have designed some stationary for myself.

  good stuff and it will serve my business well, i hope.. my business card design is a high resolution image fit to be printed on a 3.5 x 2 inch business card; pretty straight forward stuff.

  i needed some business cards fast (that day) so i took a thumb drive with my files to fedex office.. the place was grossly understaffed.

  MEMORIAL AT THE KINGDOM HALL OVERFLOWING WITH NEWCOMERS?

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a question for those brave souls who, for whatever reason, attended this year's memorial: .

  who else was there?

  was there any evidence that the witnesses are still attracting a large crowd of "newly interested ones" (to use their awful phrase) or even complete strangers drawn in by the door-to-door work.. i hear lots of comments about how poorly attended some of the weekly meetings in the halls have now become, so i'm curious about what you guys may have seen when you attended in the past day or so.
