yep,one year ago tonight i first posted here.i had lurked for a few weeks,never intending to post,but a particular thread hit so close to home for me,that i felt like i had to voice my opinion.of course,i was promptly slammed as being a troll,but i was stubborn enough to hang around.here i am still hanging,a whole year later.

i've maybe learned more in this past year than in the ten before it all put together.i've learned a whole lot about myself-about who i am,and why.i've learned about the organization that shaped my life and my family.originally i was shocked by alot of what i read here,and wasn't sure whether or not to believe it all.but looking back,knowing what i do now explains an awful lot of things.

i've learned lot's about people,too.like many who were raised jw,i led a very sheltered childhood(even more so living in the country,going to a small school).i'm still not sure if this is a real cross section of life,but i think it's pretty close.i'm happy to say that i've made lot's of friends here,some very good ones.though i've had my share of disagreements,i don't consider anyone here an enemy.

Hey David,

I'm glad you stuck around, and 'showed me the ropes' so to speak.

you and I have spent many late nights in chat, and I've never regretted

a single one of them. I'm glad i got to know you. I consider you a true

friend, thanks for being there.

i've been lurking for about a year, and have finally decided to introduce myself.

i've been df'ed since 1987 and have been helped tremendously by various ex-jw websites to get the jw garbage out of my head.

i returned to college and am one class shy of graduating-in pr of all things!

Lennix and Tyson fight Tonight

by OUTLAW in

jw
friends

my moneys on lennix.he`s smart,cool,and trains hard for a fight.he can give,as good as he gets.all he has to do is shake tyson up a bit,tyson will lose his cool and lennix will pick him apart.who do you think will win the fight?..

I dont think i would go as far to say Lewis has a 'glass
jaw'. Anyone is the heavyweight division has enough power to
knock someone out if they get a good connect. I thought Tyson
fought well in his last fight, he showed that his punches still
pack alot of power, as they did when he was in his prime.
I project Lewis will win the fight, because he is the more
skilled boxer. He is quite skilled at keeping his opponent
away with his jab especially with a shorter boxer.
I've decided to save my money and watch it next week for
free.
