My Dad watched it on TV with his family. I remember watching the reruns with my family. We went to the theater to see all the movies. Star Trek was a big part of our family gorwing up.

I really hate how the dubs will turn on you the instant you start questioning things or say something they don't like. I didn't attend my meeting when I DA'd. You have a lot of courage to go to that meeting. Don't let them get you down. You will be free soon and in a much better position to help your children as they get older.

Mr. Coffee
by RayPublisher indoes anybody remember the old apostate guy they called mr. coffee?
back in the late 80s when i was at brooklyn he would dress in a suit, have a book bag, and come and stand in front of the 124 bldg or sometimes over by the towers hotel.
he'd easily put in auxillary pioneer hours.

Many car groups went to Tim Hortons until they left New England. Bess Eaton, Dunkin Donuts and McDonald's were popular choices too.

Did You Expect To Live Thru The Great Tribulation & Never Die At All?
by minimus ini always had my doubts about that but i was at least hopeful that all would work out as they said.
i saw so many "faithful ones" who were true believers expire before they got the prize, that i started to think it probably wouldn't happen in my lifetime.. what a bunch of suckers, huh?.

I never thought I would make it. In fact I only thought about three people from my old congo would make it. I knew I didn't do enough and never would be good enough. I was also terrified of being tortured and watching as my friends and family die and are eaten like carrion.

Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?
by minimus inthere are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

My Mom started studying with a kind JW lady when I was around 12. She studied for several years before getting baptized but we stopped doing holidays and birthdays. My non JW Dad went along with it - partly because he didn't know what else to do. My brother and sister rejected the religion. I started studying at 14 to be closer to my mother. At 15 I stopped studying and started playing high school sports. I still attended meetings with my mother. She didn't mind me playing sports and she wanted me to go to college so we never had any disagreements over the JW beliefs. During college I was too busy to go to meetings as I was working and taking 19 credits a semester. I didn't go back until I was 22 and married to a "worldly" man. I got baptized at 24 because I wanted to "Put away the former things and be washed clean" at least that is how the elders put it.
I was a good witness going out in service trying to ignore my friends who weren't witnesses. My marriage fell apart and my JW friends told me to stay in the marriage and I would be blessed. After 5 years of marriage I had had enough. I filed for divorce, started my career and started dating. I was called in before two elders who didn't really know me or give a damn about me. They were my ex husband's friends and he wasn't even baptized. When I pointed out that I was their "sister in the faith" and he was a "worldly man" and yet they were persecuting me they told me that he accused me of adultery but he wanted me back and they were worried about my "salvation". I told them I was done with that marriage and moving on was no one's business but mine. I wrote a DA letter shortly after that. Interesting thing is I had a week to change my mind but everyone must have known because I was shunned in the grocery store and other places around town before I was announced as DA'd. Fortunately my Mom chose me over a bunch of men in suits and faded. She is shunned except for Memorial season.
I had one good friend while I was in, she was like a sister to me. But now she thinks I am dead forever and will have nothing to do with me.
I am glad to have my family, my second husband and feeling the closeness of friends and family during the holidays that we host in our home. This site has helped me realize that I made the right decision.
