  That was great Ken. Thanks for the memories! Kids today don't know what they're missing. I'm so glad that I grew up in the "good old days".

  Thanks for the replies. Probably should just tell them that I don't wish to be called on anymore. I'm not DA'd or DF'd, just faded. After I posted this I remembered that my daughter told me that someone she knew from the KH when we used to go was calling on her at work. Wonder if they showed up there? She was just being polite to them but after watching Dateline she said she was going to tell them they were in a cult. Hopefully she will have more guts than I did. They really have no business calling on anyone at work.

Must be the CO's visit because I didn't recognize the one "brother". I looked out the window, didn't answer, think they saw me, don't care. They were not working the neighborhood because they got in a van and drove away. I am really suprised at how angry this makes me. After all this time you would think that they would just mind their own business!

  Hi Imissthedub. I am a night owl too. And I agree with Pat. I was a JW for 23 yrs. It's really amazing but we do not realize that our minds are being controlled while we are "in". If we did we would never have joined or would have gotten out a lot sooner. Fortunately, you saw the reality of the WBTS. Now that I am outside looking in I have a clear picture of the so called "truth".

  my mother called me again to talk about dateline and the fall out at the cong.

  she said the elder (or guy giving the talk-i am not sure if it was book study or a meeting) read a letter from the society saying: .

  "it is all apostates who are doing this".

  That show is addictive! It's so funny when someone says not to touch the ceiling fan or fireplace and you just know that will be the first thing to go. One poor lady hated her finished room so much that she had to leave the room. You could hear her sobbing off camera.

  Did anyone see the episode where they glued straw all over one of the walls? I think that would have made me cry!

  Ozzie's Weekend Poll #5

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, it's that time again!

  time to put your feet up, relax with something nice to drink, and muse over dubdom for a couple of minutes.. last weekend we asked: "what did you like most about the meetings?

  " so, to be fair to objectivity, we should ask for the 'other side'.

  All of the above. Missed last weeks poll. You mean to say there really was something to like about the meetings? My mind must be failing me...

  i recently started dating my neighbor.

  a couple of nights into the late night talks, he told me the reason he hasn't dated in awhile is beacuse he is a witness.

  i was surprised, but okay with it.

  Itsalingthing, you are right. We were at one time where your friend is now. Maybe you will be the one who gives him the courage to leave. Good luck! (It feels so good to be able to say that again!)

  Bill, I admire your strength (along with Barbara Anderson's and the Pandelo's). My blood boils as I read all this BS! I just realized how very much I hate the WTS for all the hurt that they have caused! I am so glad that I finally woke up. I hope that many others will as well! Keep up the good work!
