Thanks everyone. Although I must say that I've read mankelli's thread and I really wish he would just shut his hole and stop jacking everyone else's threads.

Why the hell do I feel like this suddenly?!?!
by freshstart intoday i saw a friend that is still a hardcore jw.
she knows we're not going to meetings, but seemed pretty cool with it and was willing to have lunch with me, so i thought why not?
she mentioned something about the convention coming up in a couple of weeks, and all of the sudden i got so nostalgic and felt like maybe i wanted to go.

Today I saw a friend that is still a hardcore JW. She knows we're not going to meetings, but seemed pretty cool with it and was willing to have lunch with me, so I thought why not? She mentioned something about the convention coming up in a couple of weeks, and all of the sudden I got SO nostalgic and felt like maybe I wanted to go. WTF?! We haven't been active for 2 years and it scares the hell out of me that I suddenly have a weakness to want to go to the convention? I know that Witnesses aren't "the only true religion" so why do I feel like this? I'm scaring myself!

todays WT study...the picture...?
by stillin ini wish i could scan it and get your thoughts.
it was a picture of a happy group of witnesses during a meeting for field service.
there was a. comment from a local high-horse-rider about a brother in the front row in the picture being disobedient.

The look in his face?! He looks pretty damn interested and attentive to me, even downright happy to be there. What a load of horse poo! Not to mention the fact that you can't even see his other hand, which may very well hold the propaganda literature.

The pedophile database
by JRK ini know that years ago there were 23,700+ pedophiles listed in a database in brooklyn by the society.
it has to be many more by now.. do you think there will ever be a defector in the watchtower it department that will release it to the media?
do you think that someone will hack it and release the information?

I wouldn't think that Sarbanes-Oxley would apply since it is legislation dealing with financial accountability.

I think we all have field service PTSD. I hated it with a passion (even though I was the wife of a MS and had to maintain a certain front so as not to discourage others ). Thank god we're free from that!!!

Is true faith possible?

sometimes i think that maybe their isn't a god, i just don't know......

RIP - The last good JW I knew
by metaspy ini just received an email.. the last jw that i absolutely loved died yesterday.. he was funny, loving, kind, smart and quirky.. when he was the tms overseer, if you did a substitute talk he would say "i'm going to put a 'g' under point number 99: suave, sophisticated and debonair" (that was back when we got graded).. and, he was very intelligent - we played trivial pursuit (his favorite game) - he got all the pieces, except sports, on his first turn.
he never watched sports so he never knew the answers.. rest in peace - i hope that god allows you into heaven even though you were part of an evil cult.

I'm sorry for your loss and all I know is that if God exists (I'm still searching) he's definitely reading this man's heart and will show great kindness to him

I didn't know that, thanks! Kinda weird looking at the pics on that site. It was like the assemblies I always went to, but not quite.
