RHW, I don't think they need any glue for their projects, so your horse is safe, for now.

newbies and others are often saying, "move on", in other words, get a life, remove yourselves from the influence of wtism completely.
there are many good answers to this, but i think there is one answer, which has not been much considered.
the international 'apostate' world, to which we contribute, has mushroomed in the last 10 years in: numbers, public profile, influence on the wts policies (and in jws awareness), and in all areas of knowledge about the wt.
Private email is on it's way to you, Alan.

Alan F,
Thanks for the comprehensive background of your history on the web regarding the JW issues. You forgot to mention Philia. :-) That's where I met Julie, and my own husband back in 1997. I believe you had left by that time. It's good to know you are still in the ring, helping other hapless JW's who are caught in the evil of the WTBTS.

One verse that comes to mind is the verse that foretells that "wicked men an imposters will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled." That "advancement" is readily observable.
Sounds alot like the current GB and their henchmen, to me! And you're right, YouDon'tKnow, it's very readily observable!

iam trying to work out how many of u are proper witnesses?
The proper question would be: What do you consider "proper"?
RCat
i am ashamed to admit this, but last week it suddenly became apparent to me that i have been unconsciously following a most despicable witness trait.. i have been disfellowshipping people!.
let me explain.
in about 5 weeks time i shall be holding my birthday barbecue - apostates welcome!
That took a lot of courage, and humility. I'm glad things worked out well. Happy B-Day!

I think most of us stay within the bounds of the Ex-JW community for several reasons. Even though alot of us "old-timers" are past alot of our JW issues, we still feel a camaradarie with those who have been there, done that.
Also, we like to be around to help others who are now in the shoes where we once stood: Doubting, still thinking it's the "truth", but also thinking we aren't good enough for it or Jah. Thinking we're the pimple on the butt of the Organization, and just starting to find out that we're not wrong, THEY are.
That is why we're still here. To socialize with those who know where we came from, and to help others when they need it.

since i have left the non-truth it seems like sometimes loneliness sets in regardless of what you do do prevent it.. i suppose the main reason it happens for me is that my family still is very involved in the non-truth and i tend to not to have nothing to do with any jws at all, even though my wife has bookstudy and field service at our home.. well i guess that goes with the territory when you make a firm conviction to take a stand against something you know not to be true.. here are some quotes on this subject for anyone who likes quotes.. .
shakespeare, leonardo da vinci, benjamin franklin, and lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio, or looked at a tv they had loneliness and knew what to do with it.
they were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the creative mood in them would mark.. .
Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate.
Sounds like you're in this situation for sure, Big Jim. Time is what you need, and also, get out there and make friends in the world. They're not bad, I can tell you from experience. Been right where you are sitting, and I know the feeling well. Hugs!
