why do we keep coming here?.
why when many of us have left do we still feel drawn to discuss watchtower issues?.
in the scope of the hole world the organisation known as jehovahs witnesses means little for most people but for us it's still a majour part of our lives.. we might even spend more time now thinking and discussing it than we did as witnesses.. of course it still effects us we will never forget what has happened to us.. for many the sense of deception and disapointment is great, coupled with the frustration that many of our former friends and family just do not understand us and our choice to leave.. we would like to see and end to this rotten organisation and hope that we can play at least a small part in that.

WOW MY CAPSLOCK KEY WORKS!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, why do I keep posting here? Because I feel like it, and it is nice to have people understand my feelings about the JWs.

while drinking beer and gin/tonics at a sports bar, my friend and i argued over who the best nba team would be.
please give us some help and tell who you think would win this game in a best of 7 series in a neutral court.
keep in mind that all the players are in their prime and consider how these would play as a unit as much as their career stats.
I would have to say the second team. Mainly because Wilt the Stilt Chamberlin is the best all around center there was. Shaq is good, but he was not a Jayhawk.
Also the only man to score 100 points in a NBA game doesn't hurt either. One thing is for sure, free throws are about the same between Wilt and Shaq.

i am listening to the radio and heard that a town outside newyork has banned santa.. because two families complained that they didnt celebrate christmas and it infringed thier rights.
hahaha.

How does looking at Santa infringe on anybody's rights? I have the right to look at Santa, don't I?

the society recently released the video entitled faithful under trials, jehovah's witnesses in the soviet union.. the 'service dept.
' gave these suggestions for using the video.
watch this video as soon as you can.
16. If video is in the congregation's library, remove the tape, and replace it with porn.

for all who have, are, or will be shunned (which should pretty much be all of us), do you still have a deep love for those who now shun you...now, not familial love, but an active love that yearns for that person's companionship?.
i have several regrets; one of them is the friends that i've lost.
how about you guys?.
Gary,
Oh, how I wish I could write like you. I was thinking along similar lines, and I could never express myself as well as you just did.
Ashi,
I hope you figure out what works best for you. Just don't loose any sleep over those who will not receive your love. As always, I am glad you post here. I am also glad we have this board to exercise our feelings. My girl-friend has no idea what I am talking about, because nobody that has not been in our shoes, can understand what the shunning is like.

I am afraid I have a different view that most. I was wronged like all of you were. They don't have any love for me, so why should I? They kicked me out of their lives, they condemned me, and they are the ones saying God will kill me. So why should I care what happens to them? I know my words look like anger, but I am just thinking about this logically. If they loved me, they would never act the way they do now. If they were to come back and say, "Jeremy, we were wrong, could you ever forgive me?" I would forgive them.

i found this in my files while cleaning up, thought you might find this of interest.
this was the letter of a law firm investigating the rutherford takeover and what their expert opinion was.. _______________.
davies, auerbach & cornell.
If it is true that Rutherford was violating the charter and could have been sued, was he? If not, why not? If so, what were the results? I admit, I know very little about the true history of the Watchtower Society, so I thought I would ask. The whole thing was very interesting, and I hope Kent gets a hold of this.
