i have facebook.
i probably get on it 4 or 5 days a week, typically to see what's going on with family and those i know.
plus pictures!.
facebook is really what got me into hanging out on the computer, if I never got on Facebook I never would have made it here..
Now I hate facebook the only reason I keep it is to maintain contact with my daughter, which is great she lives in another state, going to college,
It's great to see current pictures of her and it keeps me in touch with family members... but outside of that, I don't do much on there any more....

good day everyone,.
i'm a born in jehovah's hostage, and am still a hostage until i can wake my family up (wishful thinking i know).
i'll formally introduce myself later.. for now i have some burning concerns about the service meeting part for the week of december 24, 2012.
i have been lurking on this forum for a few months and thought it was time i joined in.
a big thankyou goes to all who post here, i have enjoyed immensely all the thought provoking discussion and not so thought provoking (thanks recovery/ethos).
i have had heaps to get my head around recently learning the truth about the truth and as i remember reading here before its like digesting a brick.
wow amazing... welcome...
this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).
please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).
i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).
When I was told " You have to HATE what Jehovah HATES"
I was Like Humm, 'This can't be good' ... I went along, which just meant thowing good stuff I liked away...
I just remember that momment very well ...... YOU HAVE TO HATE!!! really?
apart from, "it's a cult, ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun".
WHO REALLY IS THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY?
my vote is for the lord of the rings, all three of them.
or pretty much any star trek movie.
i tried watching the lor movies today, but my god, it's just battle after battle after battle and frodo, cute guy though he is, wimping out all over the place and having to be carried by everyone.. dull... i have never succeeded in watching those damn movies from beginning to end..
poker!!!
so boring ... can't see why any one can watch!!!
the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.
you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.
i always go to the beach like this!
The picture looks true because everyone in it appears to have never had any structured sports training...
as is the case as they are prevented extra curicular activities, I thank God for being 'out' during my teens and got to play sports.. It layed a foundation for good health and fun
I say this because I have 2 younger bros.. who were not allowed, they pretty much look like the clowns in the OP pic..
any way great pic LOL

Ya'll have to know I was mocking with my comment..
here's a comment from some one on my face book page regarding the OP link.
They are not a church, they are a law firm hiding as a church, who does this in order to get pushed away on purpose so they can then file a law suit about their right to protest being a constitutional right and they usually win the cases. It is a scam to make money, they dont really care about the things they are protesting, which is that war and murder is gods punishment for homosexuality.
