by Mickey mouse inhttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=utf8&msa=0&msid=116388890922269468211.0004938b3329a3f3d0927&ll=54.876607,1.538086&spn=13.940068,39.506836&z=5.
i've created a map in google maps for people to mark their location, you don't have to put your real identity if you don't want to.. you need to sign in with a google account, click the 'edit' button and then drop a marker on your location.
add a photo if you like!.

"Many of us gave up the opportunity to have children and grandchildren because of that stupid lie"
i'm pleased to say my 1st (jw) wife & i decided to start another baby in 1975.
My son is now 34, & was DF'd last year.
After years of shunning we have established limited contact through FB, he tells me he has no interest in going back to the religion.
He has 2 lovely kids, & i met them once.
I'm treading very carefully with the situation, but live in hope.

then and now 40 years later
by bigmac ini want to put "pen to paper" so to speak, comparing what i left behind as a young jw man 40 years ago, with what ive been reading on this site.. i cant include everything in 1 post, so please put up with me while i compile my recollections.. this is not a hate-filled diatribe, but hopefully a worthwhile comparison.
i grew up as a jw, being baptised at 14, left school at 15, started pioneering at 17.. the congregation i spent 5 years in, 1966-71, brings back many fond memories, the most important being the love we all shared for each other.. the emphasis was on helping one another; circuit servant visits were eagerly looked forward to, assemblies a treat.. very occasionally, someone might slip up & sin.
usually it involved sex, most times the person was put on probation ( ever heard that word?).

When i chose to leave the religion, the core reason was i had realised i simply did not believe in god.
therefore whatever the WT society demanded was irrelevant.
i have not had a bible in my house for 30 years, & when i see bible quotes on this site i skip them;
i do not want to read them, and more importantly, i dont want to read someones opinion of what that scripture may or may not mean.
----------------------
a question though, back in my jw days we had "servants"- each with a specific job--i was magazine/territory servant.
now with the elder business--do they each have a job, or are there "spare" ones with no specific responsibilities?

..Are you Ready for a McWedding?...
by OUTLAW injust when you thought the world couldn`t get any tackier... .
the mcdonald's wedding packageby john farrier in business on oct 14, 2010 at 2:24 pmafter a couple met, dated, and then hosted their wedding party at a mcdonalds location in hong kong, the company began offering wedding packages in that city:.
the package has all the details to attract a wedding banquet cynic or a golden arches obsessive: a baked apple pie wedding cake, dress made out of party balloons, kiddie party favors for guests, and of course, catering by mcdonalds.. alcohol is banned to make sure there wont be drunk party guests acting inappropriately at the family venue, so newly weds will have to toast their union with soft drinks instead.. the cost will be a few thousand hong kong dollars, depending on what guests order on the spot.

Do we really exist?
by cyberjesus inwe are made of atoms, the whole world, our furniture, our skin, the planet and the universe.
even jws and god-loving exjws in this forum accept it.. but atoms are made of smaller particles, electrons, protons, neutrons.
but what are those particles really?

Today I seized the day...and disassociated myself
by carpediem inand i feel good!
it was a long time coming.
i stopped going to meetings june 09. the reason i left it so long is because my husband is still in and for this reason i see witnesses from time to time.
