so, i finally decided to become a member and make my first post .
a bit about me:.
i've been lurking around the forum for quite some time (about 6 months i think).
Welcome! Count your self lucky that you got out at an early age. I am 29 and have been out since I was 27. I am now fully Atheist. My wife is also working on making her exit.
I was baptized at 13....wayyyy tooo young. But I never did "reach out" for anything more than mics and sound box and magazine counter. If I may make a recommendation, don't reach out anymore and take time on your fade if you want to keep in touch with those you love.
Good luck.
some of my friends are weekend warriors, so to speak.
days off are not always the weekend.. do you get to chill out?
coco is semi-retired but always tired .
When I was an employee, the weekends were for rest and relaxation and catching up with the kids. I almost never had to work Saturday and never Sunday.
Recently I started my own business and have been working the weekends. Mostly Saturdays but some Sundays. I will have tomorrow off then starting Monday I will have to work at least 11 days in a row with no days off. We are starting a contract that requires my full attention. I am really excited to have my new company doing well, but will miss my regular days off. Soon as we acquire more employees and supervisors, my business partner and I will be able to take our needed rest.
My focus, when I was IN, was working paycheck to paycheck. Now with a whole new lease on life and knowing THE END is NOT NEAR, my focus is on providing a better life for my wife, kids and myself. Money may not buy happiness but it sure makes life a HELL OF A LOT BETTER.
what is with jw's and the use of the term 'hell fire'?
i know of no other people who use this term, even those who do not believe in hell.
try having a discussion with a jw on the concept (or lack thereof) of hell and they cannot bring themselves to refer to it as simply 'hell', why must it be 'hell fire'?.
Ravens - Hell? Why, yes I have... Satan kicked me out...
HE DIDN'T LIKE THE COMPETITION

much more than blurry photos and casts of footprints - this one has a long list of experts and lots of dna.. weirdness prevails.
suck it, creationistas.
Suck it, Creationistas
LOL

i just posted a new article entitled "jw apologists keep commenting".
there seems to be an influx of asleep jws that are trying to fight back against what they perceive to be threats to their faith by trying to refute our websites and forums.. several are currently making the rounds voting down webpage comments and youtube videos, as well as the dissident jw blogosphere.. here's a screengrab from the article:.
here's the youtube video i made to accompany it:.
Great video Eric! I came to sites like yours and this one as an "apologist" at first too. But I wouldn't write any comments, I would just reaffirm my faith within me. But quickly I came around to TTATT. I know we can't put a % on it but I’m sure it’s a high percentage that will soon wake up and come out of their coma.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
okay so i like dramatic lashes.
and my grandma told me all the women are complaining about them being a distraction.
well all i have to say to them is "kiss my ass".
Please, just dont do this
I know there's a big diff between this and long lashes....

GOOD LUCK
i was just thinking the other day how small our family is now that we aren't jw's.
we are thankful that we at least have our children!
my husband lost his mom and dad and only sister and her husband and all their children.
My mom and only sister. Not completely yet, but they did say it would be different, whatever the hell that means? I suppose if we lived closer than 22 hours by car apart, I would see a difference. If I got DF'd or DA'd myself, I wouldn't tell them.
Also one of my best friends I grew up with hasn’t talked to me since I told him EVERYTHING. I should have...
the obvious answer to that is: yes!
jwn has a number of former elders who awakened to ttatt while they held their position, and a handful of current elders who help provide needed intel.. .
later, i learned he and his wife had faded, and both of his grown sons know ttatt as well.. .
And yet if they had frequently contacted you, we'd be hearing an angry rant over how they wouldn't leave you alone ;)
lol.... You are 100% correct. But then at least I would have felt more loved.... or maybe annoyed.... yeah, definitely annoyed
