i know there's a million more out there, so post 'em!.
whilst speaking with pops last night, i asked how he felt about not getting his subscription any more.
he was trying his best to be chipper about it.
All I know is, I haven't placed a mag in years. The society doesn't give us the mags. WE have to pay for them and then go out and *place* them, hopefully getting some change to *help* in the publishing process. Well I won't do that. I refuse to pay for magazines, Bibles and such and then go out and give them away. Plus pay $1.50+ a gallon for gas to drive around for hours for not at homes.
Does anyone else see the irony here?

the subject is pretty cut and dry:.
---why did you leave the society??---.
was it one thing or several?
Esmeralda, I read your entire story. You're the bravest person I know of. God bless you and your new husband.

just in case any lurkers here may be in doubt about the criticisms made of the witnesses' idolizing of an organisation, here is a selection of their claims, in their own words:.
"he [god] does not impart his holy spirit and an understanding and appreciation of his word apart from his visible organisation.
" (the watchtower, july 1, 1965, page 391).
I'm just curious. What is this "borg" some are talking about. I'm not familiar with the term. Thanks.

Yeah, he sounds like one of those fanatic 'Assembly of God' religions.

JWMAN, I don't know who you think you are, but you're NO witness. You don't sound anything like a witness. I know, because I've been associated somewhat for over 30 years. Inactive, though I may be. But I know what a witness sounds like when he/she speaks.

......knows about this site??
and do you think they know about the un fiasco?
how can we even mention the un without them knowing we've been searching the web for info against the wts?

i was just wondering if anyone knows what year the jw's banned smoking and celebrating christmas.
plus, anyone here still know active jw's that still smoke secretly?
i know a couple that do.
It's amazing what you can get away with if you just keep your mouth shut. I was a heavy smoker 1 1/2 pks a day 'til about 1985 when I finally quit. Went to all the meetings, hardly missed any. And no one ever knew. To this day I drink very regularly. Gotta have a drink just before leaving the house for a meeting. Inactive, so I really don't care what anyone thinks. Family is still active so I have to please them. Just keeping my mouth shut.
this friday, december 7th., is our 28th wedding anniversary.
her ladyship and i intend to visit our favourite restaurant, dimitri's, for a slap-up greek meal plus a considerable quantity of excellent wine.. its a time when we like to reflect on our life together, the lows as well as the highs that we have experienced over the years.
mainly, our life has been one of laughter and fun.
Congrats....May you have at least 28 more years.

Simon, They're NOT on the street that often. They mostly ride around making Return Visits and taking BREAKS at the local DoNut Shop.
