what was the most fun ride you've ever had?.
my personal favorite was my ducati paso 750. it may have been before a few of your times, but it was an italian rocket that totally blew away anything from japan.. .
jk.
I used to ride a motorcycle many years ago - back in the early 80's.
I had a Kawasaki KZ550. That bike was a beast. A brother in another congo had a business servicing, repairing and selling bikes. I always had my bike serviced at his business. The one time he put 'racing' sparkplugs in my bike - scary as hell.
Good times. I miss them.
PS; When I accelerated the bike, my GF / now my wife, squeezed tighter - 'evil grin'.
the biggest regret i have is of 'shunning' persons who were disfellowshipped and for 'marking' ones deemed as bad association.. there's no way i can approach these people to ask them for forgiveness as i've emigrated to another country however, by this post i'd like it to be known..
Thanks for commenting, folks.
I share a number of your regrets however, as Landy mentioned, it's the wasted years. Unfortunately there's no way of getting them back - water under the bridge now.

my quick life story.. i was born into jw.
Welcome to the forum.
i'm reading an excellent book about defectors from the mormon church called differing visions: dissenters in mormon history.
through a collection of essays from many academic authors it looks at the life stories of dissenters and reasons for departure, as well as analysing the impact of their dissent on the church itself.
fascinating stuff and makes me wish there was a similar volume looking at the key dissenters from jws/watchtower and the impact they had.
I'm a newbie to this site and therefore coming in late on this topic;
The following people use Youtube as a platform to expose the WT's flawed policies.
- Marc & Cora Latham
- Kim Mikey
- Marcus Vaughan (Ex- Wallkill Bethelite) - some of his videos are a real eye opener,
No doubt there are others who are on Youtube.
if this isn't heartrending then i don't know what is !.

Hi Smiddy, thanks for your comment. I was on Youtube and came across this video and have no way of verifying its authenticity. I took it at face value and, probably naively, accepted it as fact.
If the video is true then it is a sad state of affairs. If it is a fabrication then I apologise to all.
Lesson for me; not to post without having some form of factual back-up.
Could the Admin / Moderator team delete this discussion thread.

i haven`t seen much if anything on the rio olympic games on this forum , i can`t believe their is so little interest in such a sporting event that is televised world wide.. i don`t get to watch everything , but events i do like to see when i can are,track and field ,gymnastics ,swimming , diving ,and their are a few other sports i will watch when they are on , especially if an australian is involved.. how about you ?
whats your favourite sport to watch ?.
has the "drug" issue affected your view of the games ?
This Olympian deserves a medal - she put the welfare of her horse first and foremost.

Hello ToesUp
Thanks for the welcome, really appreciate it.
You have very valid points. Truth is, I have no answer to your post. As you say, these judicial committees are very serious business and these Elders do literally have people's lives in their hands. Sadly, some people who were disfellowshipped couldn't handle the rejection from family and friends and ended their lives. I, too, am aware of a couple of Elders who lead double lives - committing sins whilst at the same time 'lording and judging' over others.
I'm just glad that I woke up and got out of there. Here's hoping that many more will get out, and quick.
