you might well ask that question, do we need a messiah?
yes, it would be logical to wonder whether a messiah would have any real effect on you.. .
some whose opinion you may respect would assure you that the answer is clear and unequivocal: you definitely do need a messiah, just as much as everyone else does.. .

looking through the internet i learned that everything i have ever know to be true is a lie at the beginning of time god and his celestial family created the earth and the heavens.
they are the greater force and also the fallen angels that are prophesized in the bible.
they sped up the evolution in people separating them from monkeys.
Is this "stop the tears" as in tears of laughter?
You can't stop the tears of laughter when OUTLAW weighs in. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I wonder if anymore will be showing up.
Sadly there is anoth one we can add to the list, Josie. There's an apologist calling himself/herself jdh that just popped up in the past day or so. Maybe someone who's studying?

Yet another incarnation of Alice in Wonderland.....
I have to disagree with you there, Terry. There's a certain "same old, same old" kind of familiarity, a certain kind of predictability with Alice's posts that we just don't see here. This is a whole new breed of crazy...

i don't say much, but this could be the week!.
Wow, SP. It really looks like you're walking into an emotional minefield here. I hope you make it through this with your sanity intact, considering that it's hard to be sane with so much crazy around. We're here for ya...

i admit it----i plan on getting up at 4:00 freaking am to watch it.
i remember getting up around that time 30 years ago .
anyone else plan on watching it?.
Yawn! I don't even have cable TV to make it convenient to do so; just an internet connection (which is far more useful). I'm hardly gonna go out of my way for that...

in just a few days reopened mind and me will be taking that big trek up to the north country.
we have hit very few road blocks in the last months getting ready for our move.
we will not be able to get high speed internet were we are moving to.
I hate to see a fellow ADDer disappear from here... but as long as you promise to come back here ASAP I wish the best for you in the meanwhile. Hope you get your new internet connection soon. See ya around.

over a couple of years ago, i did a relatively quick fade, having dropped fs and then meetings cold turkey with the space of a few months.
sure there was a bit of harassment and stalking for a while but it soon petered out as my wish to be left alone became know among the locals.
admittedly i stretched things out a little bit longer by going to meetings and conventions when i visited family in their towns for about another year after but now i'm completely "clean" as it were.
Over a couple of years ago, I did a relatively quick fade, having dropped FS and then meetings cold turkey with the space of a few months. Sure there was a bit of harassment and stalking for a while but it soon petered out as my wish to be left alone became know among the locals. Admittedly I stretched things out a little bit longer by going to meetings and conventions when I visited family in their towns for about another year after but now I'm completely "clean" as it were. I hardly see or hear from ppl in my congo; they either ignore me or I cut the convo short if any of them try stop to talk. I'm moving on and slowly making new friends. Life's great, huh? Not so fast...
The problem is that my Mom keeps visiting me every couple of months or so on average and my sisters (and JW husbands) visit me at least once a year as well. The way I see it, the locals don't need to phone or knock when all they need to get info on what I'm up to from my family, especially Mom. I think it's nearly impossible to stay invisible to the locals when family shows up in the local congo and them reminding the locals that I'm still here by their mere presence at the local JW meetings alone; no need for them to even say anything. It's true that all the family moved away to other places and I'm the only one who stayed here in the town I grew up in. I wonder what info the locals have been pumping my Mom and sisters for. What do they know? I try to tell JW family as little as I can get away with but with what I've been reading here, all it takes is for one or two higher ups to have it in for you and they can tar and feather you as they please. I love my home town but I wonder if I might have to move away to be truly free of ppl in my past. I'm making new friends here too and I'm not keen on starting over.
So folks, does anyone else here have issues with JW family visiting from out of town while you're trying to fade? Do you still have family in town? In your congregation? What's your story?

i'm going to my parents for this long weekend, along with my boys, my aunt and her twin boys (same age as my oldest), and our pup.
will be a busy and bustling weekend, seeing as the basement recently flooded, so that area is now off-limits.
so for the next five days, the four and a half hour drive tomorrow is going to be the only quiet time i think i'm going to get, lol.. however, my mother is going to have a big pot of homemade chili waiting for us... and that alone would be worth the drive and the craziness :).
Just another weekend to me. Hee Hee Hee...

Hey Phil...
It's perfectly fine to point out to clueless still-in JW newbs that this isn't a pro-JW website in a smart-alec kind of way. It's perfectly fine to point out their gullibility and LOL at them. What is the point of policing the issue? If they want to stay on and spew pro-JW apologist crap, that's their beeswax AND they WILL pay a price for it. Nine times out of Ten though, these morons will quickly realize that "OMG! This is a 'poztate website!" and they'll disappear on their own. No need to make a big issue out of it.
As for you Georges, you really should look before you leap! Read through some threads and comments BEFORE you join a forum of any kind. Does the word GULLIBLE mean anything to you? Have you not listened to anything the WTS warned you about when it comes to the interenet? It's crawling with apostates and opposers. OMG! If you want to stay around and learn the truth about "The Truth" feel free to stay...
Have fun here... or not.
