  Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.

  having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.

  do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

  Taught me to be patient.

  I was patient with liars, hypocrites, false dates, imperfection, etc.☑

  Posting Chapter 1 of My New Book "The Perisistent Illusion"

  albert einstein said "reality is an illusion albeit a very persistent one.

  maybe the secrets of life and death are way more simple than we could ever have dreamt of.

  maybe, just maybe one of the wisest men to live our times told us the secret in just one sentence.

  I think that is unproductive for waking up JWs but is probably cathartic for Derek.

  The door was locked but there is a doorbell and a camera.

  People could come late and still get in.

  james woods has been a long time regular on this discussion group in all of its incarnations.. he had some kind of "heart-attack" and has been in dallas' emergency ward for several days.

  he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.

  he knows where the bodies are buried :).

  hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.

  helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.

  i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.
