To Our Canadian Neighbors
by snowbird ini learned about y'all in the second grade, and fell in love with your beautiful land.. my geography book was filled with pictures of your wheat fields, lakes, rivers, and smiling people.. one of the ancestors, an aunt of hank aaron, used to regale us with wonderful stories of her visits to your country: the cleanliness, the warmth and friendliness of the people, and the lack of overt racial prejudice.. later on, i read about the underground railroad.
my heart swelled with admiration and respect as i found out how your country welcomed fugitive slaves.. my resolve is to visit y'all one of these fine days and see for myself what i've been told.
my little jw daughter and her dad have been there, and they both agree that canada is a land of freedom and opportunity.. to the canucks on this here forum, i salute you, as you only reinforce what i've been told about y'all.

For Singles - Would You Date/Marry Another ExJW?
by Broken Promises indo you consider being an exjw a hindrance to dating?
for example, do you find it difficult to bring up in conversation, lest you get stared at as if you have 2 heads or something?
or you might find it difficult to explain why you've had little sexual experience in the past?.

Ive considered dating other ex JW 's cuz it does seem like there is things only they would understand, But I like the normalacy of dating people with no particular religious background. and being around their famalies. I would rather have relationships free of that particular drama.I still struggle with feeling that no- one will ever stay with me or marry me becuase of the complications of witness life and my family.

magazine supply reduction
by agent zero inat the meeting tonight was read a letter to all congregations in canada.
it explained that since most publishers end up with left-over public edition magazines that didn't get placed at the end of each month, they will now no longer continue to have an individual magazine order per publisher.
instead, the entire congregation's supply of service edition magazines will be in a stack at the back of the kh, and they are to be taken according to need, with whatever is left over after service to be put back in the stack.

If they really wanted to be cost effective theyd recycle the mags to make more mags. Garbage making garbage

Are You The Type Of Person That Really "Loves" People On This Site?
by minimus ini know some here seem to truly be interested in everyone's welfare.
they seem to be really troubled/happy by another poster's health, life, children, job, sex life, worries, anxieties---you name it, they're very involved in "caring" about people that they hardly know.. i have forged some friendships, i've met some great people on this site.
i've communicated with many nice people here.

New Here!!
by Free!! ini've been watching from the sidelines for a while... reading about your experiences and it has helped me a lot!!!.
i am a 27 yo girl, i converted into a jw @ 20, at was going thru a difficult time in my life and they bastards sucked me in!!!
i did not realize how controlling things were going to get... about 1 year into my study i moved w another single sister and then baptize, looking back i think i went thru w baptism because i fell pressure by the "loving" congregation that wanted the best for me... i remember coming out of the pool and one of the brothers saying "another victim" and taking a pic of me... anyways, that wasn't the worst of it.... remember single female!!

What if you admitted you don't mind being destroyed @ Armaggedon?
by Knowsnothing inisn't that pretty much the end of a conversation with a jw?.
honestly, now that i think about it, what is the difference between judgment day(armaggedon) and death?.
just curious to see how my friends and relatives would react if i responded that way... .

I have said that to many witness family and friends and sometimes it stops the conversation but the smart ones pull the emotional blackmail card and say " what about us? we care if u die at armageddon" etc etc you cant win don't try

I have just left my parents home and the JW's about six months ago and have found it hard to get over.
by StephanieH ini finally desided to leave the witnesses therefore my family and basicly everyone and everything i had ever known.
i was 19 about to be 20 and i had just finished my first semester at a community college.
i was shocked at the respons of my father and others about me attending college at first they were ok but behind my back they were pretty much betting on my failier.

Welcome and as everyone here will attest to you are starting a new chapter in your life. Your going to have to rebuild, trust that there are people out there who have been through similar things ex jw or not who will love and exsept you.Let yourself mourn the past, its not an easy thing, its the end of an era. But things are going to be better from here on out . :-)

The GB on the wall (WT 2011-03-15) Mene Mene Losch & Jackson
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
as i mentioned in an earlier post, the pictures of the dictators on the wall at the "court" on page 31 of the 2011-03-15 wt, contains great similarities with gb members losch & jackson.
it seems to be a hidden joke of the brooklyn graphics department.
