  After 20 Years.....I Can't Believe It!

  no surprise, i don't post here much these days.. but today, i have to.. when i first arrived here back in january 2003, i remember looking at this very section of the board.

  personal experiences & reunions.. well.....i got the shock...the absolute shock of a lifetime.

  some of you, i'm sure, when you remember folks in your jw past, there are those whom you thought you'd never ever hear from.. last night, i get home from work (4:00 a.m.) and i go on-line, open my e-mail, and i see a name i have not seen since my jw days of 1983/84.. how did i feel?

  Wonderful news, Ray.

  That is what a lot of us here are holding our breaths for. That our old friends will see the light.

  Thanks for sharing.

  JW's are true believers.

  You might enjoy the book by sociologist Eric Hoffer True Believer

  It may explain the why to you.

  btw, welcome to the board.

  Just thought I'd introduce myself, finally!

  i was never "in" the wts, but my husband's x-wife and children are jw.

  he never was...it's a long story, but between the "religion" and other stuff, she's managed to inflict so much damage and pain on him that at one point he was suicidal...so much for "christian love", ya know?.

  looking forward to talking more, if that's ok with everybody!.

  we just got home from visiting friends and family in new york state for 5 days.

  we spent a few days in buffalo (dirty city, grungy and depressing) but we did have a great lunch yesterday, of buffalo wings at the original restaurant where they first served them.

  and we saw the president's plane arrive this morning about 40 minutes before we boarded our flight.

  We've seen AF1 fly by our place, with at least 4 jets escorting it in the air. Big plane.

  Glad to hear you made it home ok. What fun you must have had.

  i'm going to let off a little steam about my son, who should be in aa.

  but, he says, he's a drunk not an alcoholic because alcoholics go to meetings.

  truth is, he drinks so much it scares me.

  Our Granddaughter and Her Wife Made History Today

  by Swan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our granddaughter and her wife made history today by being among the first 3022 official gay marriages to take place in the good ol' us of a. there are no more marriages currently being issued in oregon, but the ones that have taken placed are legitimate, binding, and recognized by the state of oregon.

  in the interim the legislature has to come up with a law to make more of these marriages official.

  i sure am proud to live in such a progressive state.

  What is the "Sacred Secret"?

  by goddess_baal in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's been about four years since i attended the kh, and i'm amazed to realize just how many of the doctrines i have forgotten.. i don't have the literature at my disposal anymore (or maybe i'm just too lazy), and the phrase "sacred secret" just popped into my head yesterday.

  wasn't it one of the j-dub teachings of some sort?

  (i remember asking my mom when i was a little girl, and i seems to me that she had trouble explaining it herself.).
