this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.
if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.
kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!
It is pretty lame for someone like me to be critical. This site has stood the test of time and has succeeded. I tip my hat to all have been a part of the success.
I have nothing in terms of recommendations. May be dancing bears, other than that - I got nothin.
suzuki boulevard c50 for me.. .

I never had a bike, and I am so jealous. As it stands, I think I am too old to start a new vice.
what kind of god are you looking for?.
the one i want to hire has to fill these requirements:.
1. kind to a fault without being a namby-pampy hippy.
Yea, but I think god is a union worker. You know how hard it is to fire a union worker.
no longer a ms ........................... can't give details atm, for it might be a dead-giveaway and it ain't quite over yet.
but, it really taught me one thing: if you're trying to fade or stay in, trust no one.
and i mean no one.. eden.
Great story. Thank you for keeping us updated.
well my wife and i still arent attending meetings....we first agreed to go here and there...oops.
anyways we missed the last meeting and suddenly our phone blew up!
it was like 17 missed calls!
I think that is a regional thing. In one congregation, there were those that regularly called. They eventually gave up on me, but I was never offended by their calls. When in Florida, I don't ever recall having this happen.
someone mentioned in another thread that white jws can't have mustaches but black jws can.
i noticed that the only governing body member with a mustache is black.
can anyone confirm that this is an official policy?
I had one in the 80s. Most of the elders sported a bit of facial hair above the upper lip.
i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
Live long and prosper. Remember that the greatest revenge is leading a happy productive life.
BTW, just because I say I enjoy, does not mean that I always agree. One of the great things of this board is that many people express many different view points.
I always enjoyed Marvin's comments. Dumb, well that is such a subjective term.
I hope Marvin does not take your comments too personal. For example, some have called me dumb - some have also called me god's give to mankind. I think the difference in opinion can easily be explained by they way these researchers define the independent and dependent variables and the actual research design.
I suggest that I, as well as Marvin, ultimately are at least close to norma (within 2 standard deviation).
when you were a devout jw.
did you feel that you had an actual "relationship" with jehovah/god just from praying to him and reading the wt or bible?.
or that this was actually even possible deep down?.
I really tried to have a relationship with Jehovah. May be it was not in the cards, or perhaps I did not try hard enough. In any event, we have gone our own separate ways. If you happen to see Jehovah, or talk to him, let him know I am doing fine.
Although, I doubt he remembers me; you know, running the universe and 'what not' tends to be a big distraction as compared to me.
