  Been there, done that.

  Am now "boldly going where I have not been before."

  Destination: Oblivion.

  Health secrets? You're kidding, right?

  Stress relief? Deep breathing exercise. Beneficial in other ways too.

  if a jw tries to gather you back to the flock or debate with you, try these questions:.

  on what date did the watchtower arrive at the truth?.

  Two local restaurants come to mind: "Moon Temple," a Chinese Restaurant with a very generous bar, and "13 Coins", a 24-hour American restaurant with a few locations in the Seattle metropolitan area (also with a good bar).

  I have never associated with any JWs since I moved here, but I imagine JWs would shun these pagan eateries.

  JW alcoholics are missing out!

  What a Friend We Have in Jehovah (in hell)

  a friend just wrote me:.

  i missed this controversial article in christianity today, but i believe i sent an email to one of your old boxes regarding unitarian universalist ministers publishing a book outlining early christians professing belief in earth-only destination and no heavenly hope.. http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/april/13.36.html.

  this n. t. wright professes much the same and uses much of the same arguments as john thomas of christadelphians and adventists to debunk heavenly hope.

  THAT certainly is a good question, OTWO.

  A crafty JW will answer as BluesBro was answered, that probably at the end of The Millennium and after the Final Test humans will have an "accurate knowledge" of The TRUTH. MOST JWs are nowhere near crafty.

  I like to ask how many imperfect men it takes tomake a Spiritual Paradise. It's like asking how many rotten apples it takes to make Eggplant Parmesan.

  The fewer the better!

  My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

  2. experiences

  my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

  i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

  it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

  I'm glad this has recently been commented on because I too missed it on the first go-round. I can't see how that is even POSSIBLE, but I don't recall reading any of this at any earlier time, and I haven't left any indications of an earlier presence.

  Simon, have you and the family has a chance to visit Vancouver BC or Victoria?

  I Vancouver, though it has been quite a while since I've been there. It is a great metropolis! Victoria, on the other hand, is more like a carefully preserved artifact of Old Canada - still delightful, but in a totally different way.

  If you drive to Victoria - which involves a ferry crossing - then you can drive into the northern reaches of Vancouver Island and quickly see how underpopulated it is. The island's west coast is wild and undeveloped and the east coast only very slightly more populated. Top off your petrol at EVERY opportunity, and do not expect civilization to be close-at-hand.

  By the way, I was unable to get Part One to show itself. Certainly your story should be in the JWN permanent archives.

  exJW Psychology 101--Keeping Your Cool While Fading

  in an effort to get some help and hopefully help others, i'd like to start this thread about psychology, specifically starting with the subject of anger management.. .

  personally, i don't have much of a temper.

  what i do have, i've learned to control.

  If it wasn't for anger I wouldn't be in this game. My anger is seldom on public display, unless you count some of my posts here.

  Anger is the nitromethane that fuels my XJW turbocharged funny car.

  Koheleth might have added another verse; "There is a time for anger and a time for reconcilliation."

  The legendary Jesus chased the money changers out of the temple. What mood do you think he was in at that moment?

  Don't apologize for your anger, learn to USE it, Sith-like, to contribute to the desolation of the Brooklyn Abomination.

  If only a handful of Bible Students had the chops to jump Rutherford in 1920 and drop his body into the East River, think of what a better world we'd be in today!
