we're here to give thanks
by Shakita inwe have been lurking here for many months.
the many horrific and sad experiences many have endured in the name of the watchtower religion saddens us and sickens us.
we are ashamed to have ever been taken in by the lies and deceptions told to us by the wtbs.

YAYYYYYYYY!!! SILENTLAMBS ROARED!!!
Great pics, Larry! And hey - you can just make out the side of my head in picture #12. Directly behind the reporter from Channel 11, in the background is my big ol' head (with a beard). Ah, fame.
What a great day! I wish you all could have seen the sick look on all the suits' faces, as they saw us marching down the hill toward 25 Columbia Heights! I saw suits & ties plastered up against the windows of the office building and the elevated pedestrian walkway that connects the two buildings that make up the office complex. The whole ceremony was great, as Bill handed out Courage Awards to very deserving Silentlambs. It was great to meet some of the feaces behind the names on this board, too: Bill Bowen, himself; Erica Rodriguez, Safe4Kids; OutNFree; Worf - and others who am embarrassed to say, I cannot remmeber right now. But what a great effort, I also taped Channel 9' coverage at 10:00 that night. Short, but sweet. Thanks to all for a wonderful march!!!

Bring an umbrella, it's going to rain on your parade!
EDITED FOR OBSCENITY.
Do you really get some kind of JOY from making such comments about an event that is supposed to show SUPPORT for the victims who have suffered under the JW's pedophile policy? Is THAT what your "Bible Students" teach and support?
If this was supposed to be a joke - you have FAILED to elicit any laughter. I really hope I don't see you in Brooklyn on the 27th - I just may have to kick your ass.

Any Writers out There?
by Sirona inwho of you are writers out there?.
since being a child, people have responded positively to my writing.
i've written countless items of poetry, but never let them out into the public domain.

((((SIRONA))))
Firstly, how do I know that what I write is any good?
As with any creative endeavor, you can tell when you are "good" (although that's a very relative term) if you elicit a response from your audience. In other words, ambivilance is NOT what you're after. Even if you get a "bad" response (another relative term), this allows you to see how to tweak your work. Artists, however, don't normally like to please the mainstream - and this is true for political radicals or liberals, as well. You should want to stir some emotion with your work, force people to, at least, THINK about what it is you're trying to express.
Hope this helped.

Which did you prefer? Watchtower or Awake?
by LDH inwhen i was a jw, i really couldn't stomach the watchtowers.
the only articles i would read would be for the family study/watchtower study.
it seemed so archaic and old-people-ish.. i did read the awake from cover to cover almost every time.

"She would go running around telling people "I'm in the best school in the world...the Theocratic Ministry School!!"
I bet most people who heard her thought that the TMS was a school for the mentally handicapped.
YAYYYYYY!! I GOTTA "G", I GOTTA "G", YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
ahem.
Anyone besides me love Special Ed from "Crank Yankers"?

Well, they are both equally absorbant, and when the WT switched over to "free sheet"-type paper in the mid-'80's (you former Factory workers know what I mean), I noticed a distinct improvement in softness when wiping my backside. Since Afake! had more pictures, though, I think I wiped with Witchtowers more often.

MY PROBLEM... do any of you all remember.....
by biblexaminer inmy posting name might be familiar to some out there.
actually, i started on the old h2o, and i came over here with many on the board a long time back.. do any of you remember what problem i had??.
well, if you do, don't post anything about it -as the "problem" shouldn't be discussed here where just anybody could read about it.

Music as a coping tool for 9/11
by Mimilly inwe were all glued to some form of communication be it the radio, the phone, the tv, cds.
sometimes the talking about it just wasn't enough to express what we felt.
i know i personally turned to music.

Here in New York, I took the day off and sang Mozart's "Requiem" with the Juilliard Choral Union. Singing great works like that, in a time like this, helps me find peace. I lost no one in the 9/11 tragedy, but I was there, 5 blocks away, when it happened.
