i guess that my one year anniversary here has come.. i've made lots of friends... and perhaps a few enemies.. i've made people laugh... i've pissed people off.... i've made people think... i've made people cringe.... i've moved ahead in some areas of life... still stuck in some others.... i've had a lot of fun... i've had some tense moments and tears.... i've been able to make sense to people... spoke utter nonsense at other times.... to my 'fans' here: thanks for the support and having my back... .

to people who hate my guts: go ahead... take your best shot... .

either way, i win.

What has the WT$ TAKEN from you?

1. jw
2. experiences
if you've been around here long enough, you will have seen people saying how they "gave up" or "sacrificed" certain things so that they could be good little jws.

what about those of us who were growing up in it and we didn't even have a choice in the matter?

what about those of us from whom some things in life were forcibly ripped away, things that 'normal' people take for granted in their life?.

I hate JW jargon!!! (Alternatives please!)

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
all of us who have any ties to the jws know that they have their own vernacular, their own slang.

sure, there are formal titles that we can't really get away from: pioneer, ministerial servant, elder, ______ overseer, governing body, the (watchtower) society, etc.

but there are plenty of other bits of parlance they use that i can do without.... for example:.

FADERS: How determined are you?

after being here on jwn for a while, one does see a spectrum of sorts.

there are people here in various stages of their exit from their lives as jws.

some are full fledged kh and fs attendees whom we call "the conscious class".

Are you still on your local congregation's radar because of out of town family?
by VampireDCLXV in
1. jw
2. experiences
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.

Are you suspicious of LURKERS?
by VampireDCLXV in
1. jw
2. friends
we all know they're here but we don't really know who they are.. they are people who sign up here and then never comment (or rarely ever do).. doesn't that make any of you regulars here at the very least a tiny bit suspicious?.

why would a person sign up to a forum like this and then never say a damn thing?

it seems to me that there is a primary reason why some folks sign up and then never comment on anything: to spy.
