It is funny to me how much more love and understanding I have found here and on the other ex-JW boards and the Yahoo! chats, then I have ever found in the 22 years that I was a Witness.

i feel blessed to have found this board with apostates, who are giving me and family comfort between my joyous hosp.
visits.
lol, but the love does come through, and reading all the posts has really been a blessing to me.

alright, this is one of those what was your favourite questions:.
when you were a witness (or even if youre still reluctantly attached like me), did you have a favourite kingdom melody (why couldnt they just be called hymns by the way)?.
i remember thinking they were ok as a young child, but that was until i got to secondary school and heard the other kids singing proper hymns in assembly, while i had to stand outside.
I can't think of the names at the moment, but I've always liked 171, 115, 23 and 87.
Every Memorial I would get chills when I heard 87. I've looked into the "Apostate" stuff on and off for the last 10 years, but this year I've been really hot and heavy. Wierd because I didn't get the chills this year when I heard the song.
"Worldy" hymns always move me. Ave Maria (is that one) and Amazing Grace make me tear up all the time.

with all the confrontation/negativity on the board these last few weeks, maybe we all need to sit back and have a drink, or a cup of tea or coffee, if alcohol's not for you.. seriously, i'm not trying to pretend that i haven't gotten caught up in the negativity at times, or trivialize important issues/feelings, but things haven't been as fun, lately.
i've noticed a change even in the short time i've been posting.
i didn't start this topic to point fingers or to act like my opinion is somehow special, but wouldn't it be nice for all of us to see an increase in civility?.
Venice,

You know how us Witnesess like to drink!!

I'm still new here, but I hated the stupid reasons that JW's couldn't celebrate birthdays. So..........I celebrate everyones!!!
Happy Birthday to ALL!!!!

Funny how I can't seem to remember any of the programs. I guess I must have blocked out all my bad memories?

the wtbts has a long tradition of issuing predictions.
but why should they have all the fun?.
here are some of my predictions about the wtbts.
Boy, I'll tell you what, I didn't think that they would last this long, but when they removed that pesky "generation" teaching...well they could go on forever now!
In reality, they will adapt and survive in some form or the other, but I just hope that within the next 20 years my family and friends that I grew up with see the real Truth.

I think that the annointed will be allowed to finish to zero. I think that the Organization through it's recent reorganizations is preparing to completely eliminate the annointed from the Earth and move the "Great Crowd" into power positions.
I think that in 20-50 years, the annointed will all be in "heaven" and the "Great Crowd" will be the Faithful and Discreet Slaves. New Light. This will allow the religion to survive without all the tricky annointed, remmenent(sp) generation problems that have been a thorn in their sides for so long.
