hi, i've been lurking here for several years and i finally registered.
first i would like to thank the hosts and members for all you do.. .
i'll just give a breif history, i'm a single male mid 40's living in the southeast us.
Sorry. Please excuse me. I didn't realize a new poster had introduced themselves. Where are my manners?
Welcome HBH (Hiding But Home?),
I too am fading. The Friends here have kept me up to date on what is happening "Truth" (tm) wise.
Have you had a chance to read the 2013 Year Book yet? (Facepalm)
Were they always so "happafyin'" (tm) or is it I am finally out of la-la-land? Understood TTATT 9 months ago now.

first off, i owe this site a tremendous debt of gratitude.
i have been an inactive witness for 4 glorious years, and the spark that began my fade out of the organziation was this site and paul's jwfacts.com.
it opened my eyes to a whole new world of insight, and i discovered that there were so many people out there like me - still a "spiritual" individual, but completely disgusted with the jw organization.
Greetings to you Pyramid Scheme!
If it is Ok, pass on our love and greetings to your wife, also.
Active JW's have been abused & are shell shocked. So they keep on, keeping on, even when things don't make sense. Russell - pyramids, Rutherford, where do you start with that hypocrite, Knorr & Franz - 1975...the sky is falling!, and they all were expounding the FACT, Millions NOW LIVING will NEVER DIE. We are to live uneducated, little lives, not make a name for ourselves. People from the World>>> question your religion. JW's>>> don't even think about it or you are DF'ed. Don't go to University, don't go to your High School Reunion. You can't go. Do you hear us? We will look down at you and possibly agree, you won't make the cut to handle the microphones! GB member Schroeder's son Judah Ben did it all. From the links here, I read how he and his wife Amber went back to her High School Reunion, ate, drank, socialized with (cue music) worldly ones. They both have University degrees. His is in Law.
She has you to look up to, with love and respect. You left the Truth (tm) but didn't turn into a raving, maniac, weird guy. Right? If she sees you are more "normal" and relaxed, and she benefits from that...2013 might be her year!

i had an idea to which i don't even know if it would be feasible but i'd like to throw it out regardless.
i figured this is the best place to post since this is the forum that gets the most traffic.
however, this question is tech related.
>>>>>>>>>Labmic,
Welcome! Make yourself at home.
This is your 4th post. Is it possible for us to hear more from you?
Do you get a chance to read Blondie's & Laoleia's post's? They are highly researched.
A yellow NWT Bible, lol. Do you think someone ran off a few for fun?
What is your back ground besides collecting? Were you a MS, Elder, Bethelite?
If you have time, please share more of your stories. What you posted in the above. Fascinatng.
1975 not a big deal Down Under? Umm.
I didn't know the "Truth" book had "new light" printed post 1975. Makes sense. (I guess I slept thru that change).lol
The early women writers. Wow. When you collect, you collect!
Have you noticed, is it in the new 2013 Yr Bk, at the end, they have a b&w photo of Russellites, with the year 1913? I thought the Society was trying hard to forget anything to tie modern day JW's into Russell. (Shaking head in wonder).

wtf?

Theocratic Sedition>>>>>>>>WHY?????
Didn't your mother ever tell you, if you can't say something "NICE", don't say ANYTHING at all?
YOUR chosen topic WAS NOT NICE!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE READING THIS HAVE ISSUES WITH BEING EXPLOITED, MOLESTED, USED?
No you don't.
Your post was IMO, made in very bad taste.
Thank you for letting me know how your mind works/doesn't work. I won't bother to read anything more you post.
Lois
i know exactly what happened... he thinks i'm going to die at the big a and wants to be with someone he can live forever with.... we have two girls, ages 3 and 1... i really thought we'd make it despite the religion, now i really don't think so... not sure what to do... .

"I don't want to break up the marriage".
Girl...You are not the one playing around.
Your sweet children, 1 and 3, of course deserve the Best Daddy in the world. Their very own Daddy would be the best, if he were the best. :(
All of us females can thank our theocratic brothers for informing us that ALL guys wank. I did not know that. Wanking = OK. Emailing/flirting with females while married = NOT OK.
I will be thinking of you. (Holding hand over internet) It is so unfair. Most normal guys would love to have a young wife and family, whether of the same religious persuasion, or not.
Try to be a pillar when around your chilldren. Be strong young (former) sister. You are not alone. We are here for you.

it was made by a women who in later years wore crotchless panties and bras which had holes in the nipple areas.
he not only knew the woman in question (she's now deceased), he has met her numerous times.
up until recently this secret of her year's long sexual affair with rutherford was kept by the family.
>>>>>>>>eKaiser83,
Thank You So Much for coming on this Board and posting.
I just got in and checked this thread.
Ummm. Ok. No mysteries. No cover-ups. OK. Good. The children truly belonged to the caretaker and wife. I can put my mind to rest as to with had happened to "the children". They were loved and brought up normal. What a relief to me eKaiser. I have seen a lot of evilness done to children and I felt afraid for those children being brought up around Rutherford & Friends. If I had a "bucker list" of things I wanted answers for, one would have been about your Grandpa Joseph and Great Aunt Bonnie, and what had happened to them. (Sigh of relief.)
Sounds like your Grandpa & Great Aunt Bonnie, had long and happy lives. Wow. That is great. That puts a smile on my face.
After reading a number of things about Rutherford, I realized he was a master BS'er. A "Magnificant Bastard". HIS manmade religion, ruled over millions of humble sheep, that were bamboozled by a cruel manic mastermind. Has anyone ever heard the word "Charismatic Leader"? There is no way, shape or form that Rutherford can ever be thought of as a "Christian" man, let alone a "Charitable" man. A lying, evil man, yes. An "anointed" man of God? Oh, give me a break!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting eKaiser.
You may PM (private message me, if you would like).
I would like to ask you if any of Joseph's or Bonnie's decendents became Rutherford's Jehovah's Witnesses?
Just Lois
wtf?

Whaaatttt???
How does someone laugh and yet at the sametime, want to throw up.
This is sick.
Was this a regular show? or an "audience tester"?
Way too creepy for words.
Now my tummy is all upset and I wished I never viewed it.
Now, I want to cry. This is televised abuse of a child.
"Judge" RUTHERFORD.
it was made by a women who in later years wore crotchless panties and bras which had holes in the nipple areas.

>>>>>>>>>>eKaister83,
Very sorry to hear of your Grandpa's passing.
Thank you for staying by this thread this afternoon, and posting.
OK. I, for one, along with, I am sure, many others, will be looking forward to reading your new post tomorrow.
Leolaia and Blondie, I think, have posted with research, on this subject's main characters, the most.
I really, really, REALLY, would like to know some of your Grandpa's stories and of what happened to his sister Bonnie.
Am I getting this right. Your Greataunt Bonnie, was named Princess Bonnie, and lived with her brother Joseph, at Rutherford's mansion in San Diego, called Beth Sarim?

>>>>>>Hey eKaiser83...A Big WELCOME
Do you know how to start a NEW thread and tell us a little bit about yourself?
This is an old post and not everyone might check it out.
Excuse me for saying, but you ARE a bit of an Important Person here on this board, by reason of association.
Others, besides myself would like to know your Grandpa died, and also to welcome you.
Are you up to posting a New Thread?
Just Lois
