i can still remember when i first posted all those years ago.
i was still an active jw but was drawn to the amazing conversations (and fights) on jwd.
h2o was dwindling and the refugees were coming here.
Blondie!!! You rock!!! I always look forward to reading your posts. I agree with simon (well except about singing Heart of Glass, stop that by the way) You are generally right on the mark regarding some of the topics..
p.s. I know what you mean, it took about a year of me posting here before anyone really noticed :)
*muah*
Luv ya
editted to add that aparently it wasnt simon that said that (though I still agree about the heart of glass issue)
It was Stef. So therefore, I agree with Stef :)
his name was robert thigpin and i worked with him for eight years (1990-1998).
last night he killed himself.
while we didn't always see things eye to eye, i could always count on him and he was a good co-worker.
Oh Steve (((((Steve))))) Big hugs to you. It's a terrible terrible thing when someone feels the need to end their life. I look at it as someone who was dying of a long term illness. You have a good outlook on it. He isnt suffering anymore.
hello i am new and this will probably be the last time i post.
nice forum by the way but honestly and with all due respect it is not something i would like to be associated with.
i joined saying "oh cool a jw forum" but after reading just 2 posts i realized it is the black veil all over again.
Ray Charles is blind, therefore, Ray Charles is God
Bless you Avishai!!! Thanks for finally giving me a distinct answer. I know i'm on the right path now!!!!!!!
now don't get me wrong....i'm on the way out (no not the closet !
why do you ex jw's still keep coming onto this web site (ok i know its interesting etc) and dipping your toes in?
i'd of thought you'd want to forget everything !.
Hey Blobby!!! When I first left and then eventually found this place all I wanted to discuss was doctrine and beliefs. We have many posters on this board who continue to post about such things. I know for myself the information they offered when I first left was very very beneficial.
I try to avoid those topics now, mainly because I already got it all out of my system. I enjoy the lighter sided posts. For me it's the same as posting on any other board that ISNT JW related. I've established realtionships with people. I want to know how they're doing. Sometimes I have a bad day once in a while. Sometimes issues still arise because I still have family associated with JWs, that bother me. I dont have anyone in my everyday life that can understand that. Knowing there's a place to visit that I can just read other's posts and have my day brightened is a great thing for me. Or if I can help brighten someone else's day make me feel good as well.
I used to feel the same way as you "just get over it and move on". I for myself, feel like I have. But I have waaaaaaaay too much fun here.

Damn, I sure hope it wasnt cause we said Penis
Good boy! I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Being sick is the pits
when did the wt start having guards come out during the song and prayer at stadium conventions?
i noticed this at a convention in san diego, right before the song begins, a bunch of "brothers" come out and stand at key positions facing the seats, and scan the audience!
they remain until after the prayer, and they do not bow their heads during the prayer, but keep scanning the audience.
I love that stadium, it's my favorite. Those little curly q things were loads of fun to race your friends down.
I just think if a crowd of 40,000 are all gonna close thier eyes at the same time, it's probably a good idea to have SOMEONE with their eyes open. Also, after the prayer everyone is in a hurry to gather their things and get the hell outta there, someone's gotta direct traffic.
just curious (man i must be bored!)..
anyone have "floaters" in your eyes?
those stringy little splotches that float across your field of vision.
This has got to be the weirdest thread yet!!!!
But I'm going to post to it anyway.
Sometimes when I'm in the shower, if it's a very hot shower I get little "tracers". I always thought it was because I dropped acid when I was 15
here are the updated alexa ratings.
jwd is the top rated christianity site as well as the busiest jw site.
i'm very proud of the fact that lambs roar is the second busiest site in both categories.
Thought I'd celebrate by playing with my smileys and picking some of my favorite that I think represent this board quite well
.

only one guess per person, per half hour .
LOL stef..... oooooooo Sassy's gotta beat your arse now 
I would have played wrong too but I double-checked. Aparently I have a difficult time following directions
