please note randy watters comments & recomendation for this newly released book.
"injustice will continue until those who are not affected by it are as outraged as those who are.
Thanx for the info V...
I've read alot of books on the subject of course...but I'm always lookin' for a new spin....and unlike Cygnus and others...I'm not familiar with this guy!

does anyone else here love this group as much as me.
they are a rock band whose lyrics tend toward christian.
i have fallen in love with their music.. hugs.
Hey the other Joel,
I've been a huge Creed fan for some time now.....listen to both of their CD's regularly......and for the same reasons as you...
great music with lyrics that I don't mind runnin' through my head afterwards!!
I posted the song "What If" awhile back...it's a great Ex-jdub song if you sub in the GB for who they're talkin about!!!
Later n Pax,
joel

well i know this isn't like my usual posts but bear with me.
i know there are blowups on this board, and i guess not everyone gets a long 100%, 100% of the time, but we all have a bond that keeps bringing us back--pain.
we here have all suffered at the hands a merciless cult, and i know many have sufferd more then the rest of us can ever comprehend.. i miss my family and friends, somedays it's almost more then i can bear, but get by.
((((ARMS WIDE OPEN)))) to ya V!!
Yup we can all relate...and have had to deal with things to different degrees....all I know is....
You're been a joy to know....and an encouragement!!
Gracie V n Pax,

here are a few notes i took at the friday session of the 2001 "teachers of god's word" district convention.
i thought i would share these upbuilding theocratic point with my new friends, along with my thoughts as i was listening to the program.
1st instruction of the day: sing loudly and listen to the prayer!
Just wanted to add my thanx for your post!
I'm still curious about what the GB is tellin' the faithfull...and gettin' the info from the comfort of my easy chair is very cool! :D
Thanx again n Pax(Peace),
joel
g'day folks,.

i have heard you guys are having a good time, i've been skimming through the posts - some very interesting stuff.
Whassup unclebruce,
Good to have ya mate!
I've enjoyed readin' your posts at that other place!
Lookin' forward to more of the same here!
Cheers n Pax(Peace),
joel
in a recent topic someone mentioned how much they have drifted from god since they "left the jw's.".
as someone brought up in the org (inactive for several years)i have found this to be similiar in my case.
i don't know how much i believe the fan/plug analogy (remember that in the live forever book?
Hi Alias n welcome,
I'm still a Christian...after walking away from the Org...my desire/need to acknowledge God did not change.
I posted a topic called "Are your Ex' still Christian"...that dealt with my situation and thoughts...as well as many others here as well.
I very much believe that Christianity can be proven intellectually by known facts.
A book I recommend that deals with many of the hard questions to faith is...The Case for Faith by Lee Stribel
I go to a large non-denominational church here in LA...where I am able to do what I am compelled to do in my spirit.
Good to have ya here n lookin' forward to your contributions!
Pax(Peace),

i'am dannybear i have been lurking around here from time to time, for the last several weeks.
this forum seems to be a friendly group, not to mention i see jt, englishman, focus, waiting and few others that are very familiar to me from h20.. i live in california.
i was raised as a jw (third generation), got the unceremonious 'boot'(df)in 1980-81 been so long..i can't remember the actual date.
Whassup DB...it's cool to have a fellow Californian...I'm in LA.
I also hang out a H2O and other DB's besides here...this one has a little bit of everything
Lookin' forward to your insights!
Pax,
joel
hi all.. just having my gripe for the day.. heh heh.
once upon a time, people had something called moral fibre.
they had ideals which they believed in.
RCat,
I agree with what you said...about what one ought to expect from ifriends.
Personally....I wasn't up on the whole situation...or it would have been my pleasure to exhibit some backbone in your defense.
So......here we are......
....n I'm lookin' forward to your expressions.....their loss!
Pax,
joel
tolerance.
i think the appearance of the now infamous danielle gives us reason for pause.
i admit that at first i took her at face value which is what we are all supposed to do.
Isn't the whole idea of DB's...to give of your TRUE self...a little at a time...in exchange for the same from others...and by doin' so...create bonds..for support, encouragement n whatever needed.
How is what some of these "hit n run" posters do, of any benefit...unless the posts are OBVIOUSLY tongue in cheek.
Personally...I don't like bein' "taken for a ride"...unless I know the driver...that he/she likes to take JOY-rides on ocassion!
Pax,
joel
