i know i've posted a question similar to this before, but what with all the newcomers here, i thought no harm to ask the question again.. what do you enjoy doing with your spare time and why?.

I like to play computer games. My favorites are Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims, and Sim City. I like to read, but don't get as much time as I used to for that. I like science fiction, some mysteries, and some historical novels too. I just finished London by Rutherford. It took a while at over 1000 pages. Sometimes we take the boat up to a lake and go fishing. That's a very calming peaceful activity. I am also going to add Apostafests to my list!

do jw's bother to recycle?.
are they remotely interested in green issues so as to protect our planet from pollution?.
if they answer is "yes", does this indicate a lack of faith?.
I'm an apostate and I recycle. So I guess that answers the question.
BTW, IMO the only reason they had barrels marked "soda cans only" at D'strict Convention was because they could get money back for them.

i chose to remain cloaked as to my true identity for now.
because the watchtower trolls who lurk here need to eat fresh meat.
i will not be a quick and easy disfellowship assignment for the local boys.
Welcome Robin!
Your post was very touching. That was an awful thing to go through as a child. I'm sorry for the pain you have suffered.

i'm actively seeking any news from anyone from this area about friends and family in this area.
i love them and miss them dearly.
any news that you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Well nothing seems to match her, so that's a big relief. Thank you so much Blondie. I didn't know about that database at the SSA. Very cool!

trot just received this e-mail: .
greetings, i am paul baba, bank manager of orient bank of nigeria, lagos branch.
i have urgent and very .
I got three versions of it. Paul Baba was deleted. I have had little spam on this account before. I have recently posted my email address here on this board. Is he targeting us because we were gullible enough to belong to a religious cult? Sorry Baba, I've smartened up a lot since then!
Spam is just the small price you pay for having you email address out there for the opportunity to communicate with some of the very good people on this board.

Thank you jimbob, that would be appreciated. It's been 8 years since I have heard from them or how they feel about the being JW.
Blondie, thank you. I have their addresses, but do not want to force contact. I have several different ways of making sure they have my contact information. This is just one medium.
I was up in the Sea Tac area yesterday and was sorely tempted to go see them, but resisted. I had heard some information about my brother that made me want to go and give him a great big comforting hug. But contact has to be when they are ready to and not before then. I just want to be sure they have the means to contact me when they want to.
The fact that I can find no address or phone number for Clara Carlson bothers me. I really loved my Aunt Clara. If she has died and they never bothered to tell me... well, that to me seems to me that they have gone far beyond disfellowshipping as the WTBTS has defined it. They have said that family business could be discussed, but to not even tell a person when somebody has died, well that is a really extreme position to take.
Thanks again. Anything else you hear would be appreciated.

i would love to chat with some of you from washington.
especially if you've been a part of the jw's for awhile and left or were df'd.
i know a few of my friends who were df'd but i've lost contact with them.
I also knew the Lemms in Auburn. I am related to the Farr and Coleman families and I often visited that congregation.

lets post lessons we have learned:.
i've learned that no matter how much i care, some people are just assholes.. .
i've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it..
I've learned that people are only human, just like me. I will make mistakes and they will make mistakes. If I can begin to forgive them, then maybe I can begin to forgive myself too.
simon's t-shirt was quite striking !
- the one with the anarchy sign as the initial letter of the word apostate.
so where can we get some similar merchandise simon ?.
This is your brain...
This is your brain on cults...
Any questions?
