  Welcome back, Noni1974! I offer my condolences on the death of your Mom, and I think I understand your response to it, because I had a similar response when my mother died a few years back.

  I had long ago "disfellowshipped" my mother because that is what her cult taught me to do. I have two brothers who are still JW and firmly into mom-ism as well, and they thought I was a horrible person, so they didn't tell me when she died. I found out when a JW friend from my youth emailed me his sympathies. About my mom I was like, ">YAWN< What's for breakfast?" I was more bothered by my brothers' treatment of me than my mother's lack of life.

  So, Noni1974, what else have you been up to the past decade?

  Will Ukraine win?

  by Fisherman in

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  Certainly Яussia thought the war would be a walk in the park before they sent in their untrained, equipped with genuine Яed Chinese junk hardware, ground troops.

  Яussia has an odd attitude toward their military - they very nearly worship their Иavy while treating their ground troops like the dirt they get buried in.

  Personally, I want a Ukrainian victory, partly because half my genes come from that area of the world, and largely because I enjoy it when an underestimated victim surprises a bully. Did you know "Putin" is Яussian for "Bully"?

  It isn't but it should be.

  i was channel surfing to find something to watch while working on a book.

  i came in on the middle of an hour and half documentary on the vice network about jw's and child sex abuse.

  it looks very well done with several experts and a number of xjw's, including barbara anderson.

  Yes, JeffT, that is a repeat of "Crusaders" that showed last year, if memory serves.

  I'm glad that the VICE network (it's a USA "cable" network, not on-the-air) found this documentary worthy of repeating. Perhaps a follow-up episode will be developed?

  Upon hearing of Queen Elizabeth's death, Joe Biden said it was a difficult time for him as he still harbored some resentment from the time he spent fighting in the Revolutionary War.

  I'll bet Jack Elmtree or Leisure Suit Lloyd could have made some suggestions!

  If _I_ found myself in such circumstances, I would have sought out a Tesla.

  10 years on and I’m still indoctrinated

  by joe134cd in

  this experience highlights the level of my indoctrination, after 10 years of been a pomo.

  a few months back my gf was hinting to me about what we could do for my birthday.

  to be honest i just had no idea, that i even had a birthday.

  I'm 50 years out, and I still remember the way I "ought to" behave. Then I take a deep breath and do the opposite, usually.

  He's 61 years old. That may be his only claim to seniority. Let's be patient and wait on the news media and Lae enforcement to reveal what they can when they can.
