*raises hand*......another tacoma domer
Ive been to assemblys all over the northwestern US, and i'll never forget the diehard apostates outside the Tacoma Dome in the early 80's
when i joined this site.....i wondered if those fruitcakes posted here
remember those people?
my mom would tell me to not even look at them.
they had bullhorns, banners, waving at us as we walked in.

i've been lurking on this site for the past two months and just now decided to post.
i was raised a witness, and got baptised only a couple years ago.
however, shortly after my baptism i started having doubts, and began to suffer from low self esteem.
welcome to JWD
well, i talk about my abuse so much i haven't found the need to post it.
i guess i will post it now so i can write it once and not have to keep writing it over and over again.
well, my eariliest memory is of being punished.

oooh-er i came over all american-ified there for a minute........ .
sometimes online, someone, or some people come across as just thoroughly "decent chaps" (thats more british) they are rare types.
i've been here just over a year and have posted some funny old stuff, sometimes when i'm angry, sometimes when i'm sad, other times when i feel critical about this forum, and sometimes some crap (as i'm sure some will remind me of) sometimes when i felt alone or worried, and lastly sometimes (coz i'm running out of sometimes) because i'm not sure where i'm headed.. throughout chris and nina, when i look back at past posts, have been kind and patient with me, particularly when i started being more honest with myself and the forum.

welcome to JWD frannie
well, as i stated in my other thread, i found one of my jw best friends i hadn't spoken to in about 10yrs.
we talked on the phone a couple days ago.
i had mentioned briefly where i worked and in what city.
cool Jes.... always great running into old friends
i got a phone call last night from the po in my old congregation.
i haven't attended in 2 years now.
anyway, the po asked if they could meet with me and i said no.
