  BoE letters

  by Jourles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i'm curious, has anyone continued with the collection and archival of all the boe letters?

  i still have all of them from '77 to '01, but would be interested in reading/acquiring the others from '01-current.

  i would love to host them again, but this time from a computer that sits on an anonymous vpn.

  Thanks!

  it's been a very long time.

  i just wanted to pop in to see what sort of changes have occurred in the last few years.

  Hello all. It's been a very long time. I just wanted to pop in to see what sort of changes have occurred in the last few years. I've been virtually out of the ex-JW mindset for a while and it feels great. Every so often I'll see a news article and my emotions get all charged up and I get pissed at the WTS all over again. But in some ways, it feels good to still be pissed at the WTS...sort of as a remembrance of my roots.

  Anyways, I still think about a lot of folks from here. This was a great place to deprogram. Thanks for keeping it going, Simon!

  Now That You Can Get Involved In Politics Is It All That Important To You?

  by minimus in

  jws cannot get involved with politics.

  exjws certainly can and based upon responses from this site, many are quite opinionated about political matters.. are you very involved in politics at this point in your life?

  do you really believe that your opinion, your vote means all that in the big scheme of things?

  I probably invest a little too much time into following politics. Unfortunately, it does affect each and every one of us whether we like it or not. I've had plenty of political run-ins on this site in the past. The biggest problem I still see each and every day in the news is the D vs R/Us vs Them mentality. Both sides stoke the fire equally well (although I would have to say Fox is better when it comes to stoking fear). Here in the USA, we need a serious 3rd party to emerge. I'm not too fond of all this Tea Party crap. It's so damned fractious it's ridiculous. I straight up hate(maybe that's a little too harsh of a word) R's and D's alike. Fingers always get pointed along with a title such as "liberal" or "Neocon." Well, the R's had 8 solid years to show they could keep gov't small. That didn't turn out great at all. Obama is merely continuing all of Bush's mistakes and then some. We get bombarded by Bernanke and Geithner telling us that the fox needs to continue to guard the henhouse or our economy will crash further yet. Bullshit. Transparency is key with the Fed. Any time a gov't official says the opposite, vote that mofo out of office. The vast majority of the American people want to know where our money is going (TARP) - it's time for our "representatives" to represent instead of stonewall.

  So no, I'm not at all involved in politics whatsoever.

  I just want to see my 10 year anniversary come and go.....Wow, that's only another 4 days!! I still remember where I was at when I signed up. It would feel like part of my life got taken away if the site disappeared.

  ARE YOU BEING MONITORED BY BETHEL? (not really!!)

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is for anyone who cares... just my thoughts and opinions, which have slightly changed since i have left the cult.

  a poster named melita said some really inappropriate things on barbara andersons thread on jaracz's stroke, which got me to finally post this, just to put it out there...... when i first left, i was scared s*itless that i was being monitored and watched by bethel for reading and posting here.

  and i bet i am.

  >>However, there is no evidence that Bethel has any interest or wherewithall to monitor the activity of individual apostates UNLESS they have a blog or website with their copyrighted materials.<<

  That's my take. The elders presented me with printouts from this site and my old website when they came to have the talk. The envelope the papers were in was mailed to them - but I didn't get to see what the return address was. And the PO did say that "the service department is running this thing." I was kind of surprised that he would even admit that. But hell, the local elders would of never had a clue if it wasn't for the Sherlock Holmes' at bethel.
