  i went outside and to the car this morning for some items and saw some walkers (very slow walkers) approaching, in pairs, a few homes away.

  i knew i had a little time to think.

  when the doorbell rang i was ready.. we've got a few more days here in houston, just north of braes bayou and near stella link rd.

  Great job Len . . . it is good that you took the opportunity seriously. Sounds like you planted some serious doubt there.

  It's good to remember these are the victims of a mind-controlling cult and deserve every assistance we can offer to GET OUT. I wish (as many do) that someone had taken the time to pose a well-informed question to make me re-think things a lot earlier.

  It's a selfish error to look down on and deride current JW's, when we were one and the same for so long ourselves.

  Great job

  funny how things work.

  i had just posted a sarcastic question on pc's thread about last nights call with the six screens folks when the door bell rang.

  it was a jw lady and she was by herself.

  OK Phil . . . It's clear what you're doing . . . I'm just questioning the wisdom of it.

  Consider this . . .

  The fact that this site is not clearly identified as an "apostate website" (for JW's) is a good thing . . . it invites them to access it without the heavy load of WT induced guilt.

  If they have registered by mistake . . . what's the worst that can happen? . . . they will realise the mistake and withdraw . . . maybe a little embarassed

  What's the best that can happen? . . . they may find something here that matches doubts they may be harbouring, (as with many JW's) and read something that initiates their passage out of a dangerous cult.

  If it came to pass in say 5 or 10 years from now that georges does exit the cult how will he look on your post then? . . . "Hell, I could have done this ten years ago if only that Philidelphia Ponos guy hadn't warned me away"

  Just think about it

  Phil . . . this is georges thread . . . let him manage it. You don't need to be a self-appointed moral policeman . . . especially when it only serves to dissuade new posters.

  The first 'unwelcoming' post on this thread was YOURS

  My apologies georges . . . please continue

  Phil . . . he may be quite capable of ignoring (some) people, even if you can't . . . your post simply makes him feel unwelcome . . . let's try and bring the 99.9% down a little . . . don't you get sick of talking to XJW's ALL the time?

  Aw hell Phil . . . you've done it again! There could be a reason for there being no disclaimer . . . this forum welcomes current JW's

  You don't have to chase them away everytime . . . or do you think we're a threat to their spirituality or something?

  Sorry . . . A big HELLO to you Georges . . . you are most welcome here. Look forward to hearing more from you.

  I am also a Jehovah's Witness of 25 years though no longer active.

  Inspite of being in a Commonwealth country . . . I could not care less.

  British Royalty and their antics became nothing more than fairy stories for adults a long time ago

  The very thought of it nauseates me so I seldom think about it
