A few are okay to me. The rest just ignore me. I think the only reason they never disfellowshipped me is because they thought I left because I did something bad and just wouldn't admit it. Their thinking is "there's no way he left because of teachings." Since they can't prove that I actually did anything bad, they just let me go.

Do You Ever Feel Like You're At A Kingdom Hall Sometimes In This Place?
by minimus inthat question is not necessarily a negative one.
there are so many different types of people here and you have your ex elders and former zealots and weaker personalities and everything in between.. sometimes, not all the time, it's hard to see the behavioral difference between a former jw and a current one..

The fact that it is an open discussion where we can posts all kinds of topics and our opinions, is the major difference. Sure, people will hate on your opinion. People will dog your topics. However, you'll still be allowed to have an opinion.

Facebook "friend" heard a rumor
by Reopened Mind ini was surprised to get a message on facebook yesterday from a sister in a congregation i hadn't attended in 18 years.
she said she heard a rumor totallyadd and i no longer want to be jws.. funny thing is the last time i messaged her on facebook was january 2011. yes, i had let all correspondence drop with jws as we were well into our fade at the time.. but two and a half years and she wants to know if we want to be jws?
no how are you doing, miss you guys, or news of her family.

I understand they are family and they think it is best for you guys to be back in the borg but why can't they just let sleeping dogs lie? From what TADD said, it doesn't sound like you both provoked them?

JW Grammar is...
by jw07 in*we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.
with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.
i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

When the borg tells you not to pursue an education, it is only natural that poor grammar would follow.

What movie did you walk out on when a jw? Have you seen it since? What changed?
by Wasanelder Once inok i walked out on austin powers because i thought it was so crude and god dishonoring.
since the fade i think it is very funny, still not a favorite but not the end of the world either.
any movies that were a big sin are nothing now?

Only movie I ever walked out of was Superbad... and that was mostly because I thought it just wasn't very funny.

Does Almighty God think about......... ?
by Phizzy inalmighty god must have had a lot of time for thinking, so he must have sat there, at least once and thought along the lines of:.
"i wonder if i am actually almighty god, or is there something or someone greater than me ?".
"how can i know i have always existed?".

LOL @ punkofnice! Being a weird loner like that and suddenly have a bunch of people thrust into your life like that can cause you to have a terrible reaction! Such as murdering a bunch of kids because their parents didn't accept the Watchtower magazine where the JW featured an article on what sex acts don't get Jehoover off.

That's absolutely horrible.
finally awake, the situation kind of reminds me of how my friend's mom used to do the Bible Stories book with some kids she knew, always with the parents permission of course.
