Of more importance to people on this board should be why I never got a reply from Jim'll Fix-It in 1982, not that I still hold a grudge about it 21 years later.........

in view of the fact that there are mostly ex-witnesses on this forum, the question is," are jw's truly welcomed here?".
it seems to me that if a poster supports the witnesses in any way, that they will know about it.
ps.....any tips on how to get sparkly glue glitter marks off my leather car seats would be welcome!!

Of course I don't agree with any "support" of paedophiles, they are scum. In the week I had to pick my niece Megan who's 5 up from school as my sister was on a course. For the first couple of days waiting in the playground with all the other mothers and fathers for the kids to come out of class at 3:15pm I felt really conspicuous, and was eyed suspiciously. Maybe thats not a bad thing, as I was un-familiar to them. By the end of the week they were happy to chat with me, coz I guess they knew I was ok. But as I watched Meg come bounding out of class with her paintings and sparkly glitter glue pictures, I was proud as punch to be there for her. The thought that anyone would even look at her let alone lay a finger on her feels me with anger that boils. These people are sick bastards that deserve death.
I think the GB has handled some child moslestation cases appallingly, with the 2 witness rule. I believe that should be changed immediately to prevent any one slipping through the net. Some I'm sure have been damaged deeply by this policy. So of course I do not support it.
That does not mean though that I can not be pro-jw (notice I said pro and not an active jw) and agree with the majority of the direction from the GB, or what I might read in a Watchtower or awake magazine. Much the same as I can disagree with what some posters post here. As 1 example When Milton Henschel died some posters were saying the most appaling things about him, disgusting behaviour IMHO. Alot here will claim that they only attack the WT/GB, but I will stand by my original line that JWs are attacked here, but of course if you put yourself in the firing line, then you expect to be shot at. Hope this makes some sense Andy.

Thanks Hamas.....the thought was there! Glad you are feeling better mate.
Aztec thanks for the words too, Brummie has sent me a PM on how to copy and paste, so in about 2 years time I should have cracked it. And you are of course right a great song!

Minimus, come on play the game man. You asked yet another question, on this open forum "Are JWs REALLY welcome here" and I gave you an honest answer from my perspective. I know I'm not a "true" JW yet I remain "pro-JW" and like I said only a very few here will understand me. Now if its like that for me, then of course if a real, live, true, JW (lol) comes along, then of course they are not gonna be welcomed here. You know as well as I do JWs have strong views, so do apostates on an opposing side. You like most here are of the "kick JW ass" group as you stated. Haven't you answered your own question in a round-about way?

maybe you're right Minimus. It might be that true JWs take the view that this is an apostate site and so skip over it if they notice it at all. But what do I know, I'm a rhetoric-er. LOL

I think by now alot know here I am "pro-JW" I've learnt that so long as I keep my posts "fluffy" as they mostly are coz I'm a bit daft!.....then I'm welcomed. If I do post anything pro-jw in keeping with how I might feel about a subject or topic then I know that a very few will be objective, the majority will slam me. That remains the nature of this forum. It is a forum for "ex-jws" after all. I learnt to remind myself of that a while back. And before I get slammed or pityied again, I'm only replying to the question of this post.
NO "Jehovah's Witnesses" are not really welcomed here. Not by a long shot. Now are doubting JWs welcome here? well thats a different subject altogether!!
....save the "the day i got out" posts, surely some here can dreg up some happy times of when they were witnesses, it can't all be negative.
for me, i can remember some great people, some do's some co's some elders, some pioneers some just plain ol' publishers like me.
come on everyone.......dig deep now.....
Thanx Minimus. I met so many good people too from years back when I was active, at the last memorial they were still there. Not blind people as is often posted here, but good kind intelligent people. I sure do miss them sometimes.
....don't wanna keep on, but this song reminds me of my JW times so much...
oh lordy Rays make up tips heading my way....
and learn how to type the sodding thing correctly......
