Thanks skin! But I don't know how to quote people, or add a pic, or anything. At least the highlighting is gone...not that I figured it out, it's just not there this time. :)
Plus I'm like REALLY lame about coming up with new topics. I think I'm up to 4 now.
Oh! I just got the 1914 joke :). ...maybe at my 1975th post something magical will happen?? Or will it just fizzle out like the year did....
Seen on Facebook, not seen here, lol :).
Don't worry I'm probably more technologically challenged than anyone!
Omg, as witness, I can't figure out how to take out this highlighting!!!

I was never going to leave. I was going to stick it out no matter what, despite my doubts, cuz I never wanted to disappoint my parents. But finally I decided I had to get out and live according to my own beliefs, and let my kids follow their own paths instead of sticking around this cult until their lives were limited by it. It was time to finally grow up.
I'm SO glad I did it, even tho the process was hard. I never could have imagined myself here 10 years ago.
i was just watching this on you tube.

and although talking about the mormon church i think in principle it well describes thejws.
there are a couple new tabs on the app, one of which is the 'meetings' tab.
can you guess what the other one is?.

i want to spare you a long post about my background.
because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.
but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.
let me start by saying that this forum has been helpful to me in many ways.
i haven't gotten involved in much commenting and i am not very assertive by nature so i've steered away from participating in debates.
but i have read threads often and had a sense of community.
Pete you are one of the kindest posters here! (Except... I don't read the believers vs. atheists posts anymore, so it's possible I missed a nasty comment or two ;) )
EOHB you know I sent you a p.m. but I just also wanted to state here publicly that I strongly agree with you and think you are a wonderful person for posting it.
i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.
my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.
i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.
about 30-50 high profile guests are expected among 300 other guests.
the kingdom hall has requested for support from the police for crowd/traffic control .

The memorial may have been requested by that guy who studied with him. They might treat it like someone who doesn't have family. I bet they will throw in extra time for personal stuff because he was famous, the double standard will continue. They will still look like idiots tho, no doubt.
Regarding the paternity claims, some of them have to be true, the guy certainly got around.
