Unstopable ... love this letter, don't remove your excellent points,
but remove the superfluous print.

What I mean is, that every little black mark...even a period ...
catches the eye!

The more little black marks there are ...the harder the eye has to work!

Tighten sentences but open it up with more paragraphs!

All the best to you ... sounds like WT has lost another gem.

The girl wouldn't be able to cross the street by herself! 3! 6! 7!
Appalling.

yes--i know we've done it before--but i feel a bit braver these days---so heres my mugshot.
anyone else feel brave ?.

Aaaawww look at the cute mugs on all of ya!
Wow the Brits sure know how to have fun
i was never disfellowshipped, but it's been about 10 years since i was an active jw.
i've made an occasional meeting or half-day at an assembly here or there, strictly at the behest of family (maybe once a year), but i'm completely disconnected.
more importantly, mentally i'm 100% free.. we all have a tendency to project our views and beliefs onto others, and tending to believe that other former jws share our views is no different.
Judy ... right now ... I am on a journey of sorts, and stretching
my legs!

You see, I stopped thinking for myself and let a handful of men
decide what was what!

So as I move along, I learn & understand. I need FACTS now.
>
As my critical thinking abilities improve ... my position changes ...but
here is a critical point ... I CAN change my mind, now, there are no penalties!

I am not condemed to death by god. I am not shunned just for thinking...

....................well, only by those poor souls...the jehovah witnesses!

oh yes, my group would be 4 more or less!

this tired, lonely man has been snared, but i protest little .
she holds me tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.
i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.
Aaaaahhhhh ... love to wake up to these words!
Welcome back Nancy
this is my first post, so let me introduce myself briefly.
i am not, nor ever have been, a jw but i have a close family member who has been a witness for many years.
i have been curious about my relatives beliefs for some time but have only recently looked in any detail at what witnesses actually believe, which led me to this site.. i have seen references to changes to generational teaching but have not really understood what it was all about until i read the article let your kingdom come but when?
bemused ... brilliant post
>
Welcome to JWN, you have your 'thinking cap' on, which, as
Vidiot said, is better than any jw would have!
>
What really alarms me about this, is that the younger generation
have no idea about 1914, 1925, 1975, Beth Sarim etc, and now,
how the generation teaching was changed in 2010...evidentlyJesus
really meant 2 (TWO) generations , ..and NOW........
>
this false 'overlapping 2 generations', with no scriptural backing,
is being spewed out as ........... in fact INTHE BIBLE!!!!!
>
The kids & new converts have no idea about this.
They will study that crap early next year & think it is true!
>
This really makes me livid!

Hope you keep posting here bemused,

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Brock .......

grandma mary lou is home from rehab and doing pretty good.
she wanted me to give all her well-wishers a big hug and thank you.. her granddaughter may or may not have seen the video yet.
i decided not to give a dvd copy to her fellow employees...for now.
I was just wondering about you, mr Bonezz & your Mom!
>
Glad things have improved all around ..... give our regards to
your Mom ..she did a great thing for Granmothers rights &
& for the very natural love of our grandchildren!
>
The watchtower has perverted that natural love & we need
to fight back!
Plse keep us in touch.
