A suggestion for newbies & oldies alike
by smiddy infirst of all i understand why a lot of us dont want to be identified by all and sundry who might lurk here trying to identify us.but it dissapoints me to look up someones call sign,and their is absolutely no information about the person at all.you dont have to be specific as to your cong.or even area,but it`s nice to know the general area you come from, your sex,a general idea of your age ,it tends to give you more of a personality,a real person.we can relate to you as a real person.i love to see xjw,from oz,a couple i have been able to communicate with via pm`s,i send a pm if their similar to my age or have identified they have been in the same area as i was.if people dont want to respond, well and good.but please just give a little with your" avtar"?is that what we call it?
(i am computer illiterate,and getting a bit senile).

Okay,
If it is a person's profile/info/biography page of which you speak, then for the time being such info cannot be added or changed.
The way I understand it is that nearly two years ago this website was under threat of being shut down for good. To keep it open, they had to re-write the software and then transfer all the info to a new set of computers. The problem with the then new software was that it is quite limited in its functionality. New ones signing up cannot enter personal info on their profile/biography page even if they wanted to. (Believe me, I kinda wanted to.) Only older info on previous sign ups remain. The only thing a person can change now is their profile pic/avatar.
Reportedly there is going to be another revision of this website and it's software coming down the pike soon. How soon? I haven't a clue!

newbie
by bobfleur inhello everyone, my name is bob and i am a recovering jehovah's witness.
i have a beautiful wife and four equally beautiful children.
my major malfunction is that i am very much a believer and as most here would agree, some major teachings do not line up in harmony with scripture.. god used the help of a pastor friend of mine and together we were able to show my wife from the bible certain biblical truths do not line up with "the truth".

Ah, the consequences of having swallowed the red pill...
It's time to figure out how to live your life outside the matrix.
(Quite a metaphore, isn't it?)
Just remember one thing: the ones on the inside were never really friends. Friendships on the inside are just an illusion, just like the matrix itself.

Hello and I bid you welcome.
Glad you saw the light. I'm trying to rid myself of bitterness as well and I don't want to be consumed. I don't want to go to war, I just want to live my life. I've spent enough of my energies on the borg. I've never seen outright abuse but I've heard more than enough about it. It all breaks my heart. Good luck to you on whatever road you travel.

I've been here for just a few short weeks and I guess I've already made lots of noise, but why not one more holla?
I'm a born-in like so many others here. I left the borg *twice* and this time I'm staying out. I'm really trying to make new friends on the outside now. I say that ADHD and JW don't mix. I think way too differently from those sheeple we call the borg. I don't want to go to war, I just want to live my life. My family is still hostage. I'm trying to go to school and get into a trade. I still don't think university is in the cards for me yet. It's hard to be normal after what I grew up with.
I'd like to give a shout-out to a couple of my new friends here; Hadit and clarity. Here's to freedom!

I saw your film and it chilled me to the bone. For so long I thought I didn't have any tears left to cry after my last crash into depression. I didn't suffer through abuse or PTSD inducing trauma during my formative years, but I've learned what a terrible group of people we were part of. The realization of it hit me upside the head like a two-by-four after watching this. All the secrets. All the lies. All the skeletons. So much that I never saw. The stories need to be told. Thank you so much.

PS: When do we get to see part 2?

That's the problem with the borg. They think "encouragement" = genuine concern, caring, compassion, etc.
"Encouragement" is a canned, synthetic, counterfeit, ersatz show of love. It's not real at all. It doesn't help. They can keep it for themselves.

Facebook is a menace to the fading JW! (and society in general)
by slimboyfat inmark zuckerberg says that the philosophy of facebook is that people only have one identity.
i think then it's fair to say he couldn't have had jws leading a double life in mind.. i was careful not to add any jws to my page, so i thought i should not have any problems.
i did however add friends and family, including family members who are former witnesses and some who are related to current witnesses.

I was on for only a couple months before I canned my FB account. To me it was mind numbingly inane. It was much more annoying than useful. I was depressed and on the fade too, so people that I knew on FB weren't real friends to me anyway. None of my family were there either. I had enough. It was only later on that I discovered what a real menace FB became.
Facebook: Not very useful to me. So much annoyance and lack of privacy. Just like being in a KH among the borg.

Is Jehovah a Primate?
by Cold Steel inthe scriptures attest that adam was made is made in god's image, "after his likeness.
" and seth was in adam's "own likeness, after his image.
" the question becomes: since we're all primates, what does this tell us about jehovah?

LOL! Fair enough argument, CJ. I have my doubts that holy books are all what they claim to be.
