at this late, middle stage of my life, i've started wondering, now that i know what i know, about the things in my life that i "lived" with.
having been raised all my life in the "borg" i have known nothing else.
when questions began forming years ago, it started me thinking.
Growing up a dub can relly mess with you.(some of us more then others)For me I think I got more good out of it, then bad...
When I met people, and the subject cums up I tell them that I was rased in a cult, And that all of my famley is still in it. Thay alway ask how I got out?(read Rays book) So I tell people about the JWs, and how I got out...

the time has finally come.
i am getting dangerously close to a situation where i will have to reveal to my gf's mother and siblings that not only do i not share their beliefs but the probility of them converting me to their religion is next to none.
relaying this information could cause one hell of alot of problems with the situation as it satnds.. in my country which is mainly christian the the jws eventhough not accepted are permitted to continue with their faith.
I just wanted to bump this back to the top, and say that I will be back to post about this tomarow. I think I have a vary good way to deal with this...
thanks
skiingcowboy...
well, i was tempted but i decided not to go to the most bizarre religious ritual of modern times....how about you?.

Not there. But I will be at the KH for the first time in 6 years on Sunday, for my grandmas wake...
is it just me, or is "everyone" on this board bitter?.
i do know alot of happy jws and, i could not see them being anything else but jws.... .
this is just my take on what i have been reading on the boards sence i joined up...
I just wanted to bump this back to the top and, see what happens...
So bring on the the bitterness!!!

there has been some more progress on the united nations front and getting more evidence to you very nice people.. for your information i have located an ngo in toronto who houses a small library of quarterly reports that dpi sent to the various ngos.
this is my first time i have ever seen these and i will have them going back at least 10 plus years.
my previous ngo friends had offices in new york and thus, did not have these - nor was i aware i could get my hands on them.
thanks hawk!!!
Sorry I have not been around on the touchstone. I got busy working on the farm, and that comes first. Besides you do a better job then I do ,and I am starting to think that most of them are dumber then a box of rocks. I mean do I not make myself clear enough on there or what. Thay pushed my thread back, so that changed the subject for me.
thanks.

i'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?
i took the whole thing very seriously.
there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn
for those of you who have read this in someone elses thread, i apologize.
it was suggested i start my own thread so here is my story again for anyone who may have missed it.
i am currently from minnesota and live in st. paul (roseville), but the congregation that i went to was in the apple valley area.

Let me know if I can do anything...

an ex-jw friend called last night wanting as many jw jokes as he could get.
i only know the one about the difference between a vw full of jws and a porcupine: with the porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.. he liked it, of course, but he needs more.
i think maybe he's giving a speech somewhere about jws, and that would be in keeping with his life's mission.
Ok my JW mom told me this one...
Why do JW gals have inverted boobs?
From people pointing there fingers in there chest saying get off my porch...
Thought that was good cuming from my jw mom...
