being a good little JW I never listened to their music as a kid, but the guy I'm with now told me all about them and how Syd suffered permanent mental problems from doing one hit of LSD..........he said the guy was a genius..........he'll be said to hear this.

17 Days: One Final Adventure
by Merry Magdalene ini once posted here a copy of my empassioned plea to the watchtower society--i want my mother back.
well, i just wanted to let all of you know that i got her back for a whole 17 days, and we had one final adventure together before she died, and there wasn't a damned thing they could do about it.. my mother is, was, a long-term loyal jw and i was her disfellowshipped daughter.
i believe she was in an almost constant state of conflict over me because her very strong maternal instincts demanded she behave openly and lovingly toward me, while her wts-trained conscience demanded the opposite.

((((Merry)))) You are an incredibly strong woman.........and quite extraordinary. I would love to meet you someday, as I think we are two of a kind.........your description of yourself so fit me......my mom always said when I was born they broke the mold.......I was definitely an odd loner type child and still am.........my sister called me artsy-fartsy.......I call myself an old hippie dreamer.......and, since I am in much the same situation with MY mom, you've given me much food for thought. I am sooo happy that your mom and you had that brief interlude of time and that you were there to help her pass over........
Love,
Terri

I had pm'd Merry awhile back and she just answered it yesterday, so, she is around. Her mom has passed over, and Merry probably put alot of her own life stuff on hold while she was with her. But, she sounded relatively okay. Richie is probably doing awesome........lol.........he seems to be made of Teflon or has an especially powerful Guardian Angel..........he's like a Timex......takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'! LOL!!! Love and hugs to both of these, our well loved JWD members.

Describe yourself as a tree.
by AK - Jeff ini think i would be a bit of a scruff pine.. i hold my place well, weather the storms with deep roots.
i am not as stately as some of my brethren trees.
i don't make the cover of "tree monthly".

I'm a b++ch, I'm a lover.........er........oops, wrong track.........let's see.........me as a tree?..........well, there's a couple different kinds, actually............I'm a Weeping Willow, I'm a Burly Oak. I'm a Stately Elm, I'm a Crab Apple..........this is a cool topic, AKJ. Just in case no one has told you lately that you're restless curiosity and spiritual insight are wonderful.......you and Auld Soul and Almost Atheist are extremely insightful and intelligent posters. I enjoy your styles very much. Thank you for being a part of this forum for our edification.

Oh MAN are they ever annoyed in Brooklyn!
by MinisterAmos ini called the information dept politely asking if mr brown was still a witness after commiting verbal apostasy during the interview with ldh.. i got transferred to one of their legal staff and he dropped the "f" bomb and hung up!
i on the other hand was a complete gentleman.. i would call this a golden opportunity to play up what has to be one of the most embarrasing moments for the dub leadership but is actually an important issue that any current dubz should be concerned about.
what is the actual policy of the org?

About half the DF's go back? Really?
by AuldSoul inj.r. brown said about half the df's go back.
i know some who went back and promptly faded, some who went back and were "bt" jws (barely there), a few who went back and quickly got df'd again usually before they even got privileges back.. but the one that takes the cake (in my opinion) is the former po of my parent's congregation who had been giving dc parts for years getting disfellowshipped a couple of months after giving the rousing talk, "abhor what is wicked, cling to what is good.
" only after his reinstatement did i discover that was his third df.

Great topic, AS! I think there are many factors that affect whether one returns or not..........age, ability to make friends and a new life outside, whether one has family still in or not........in my case, it's been seven years. I know beyond any doubt that I will never return to the WTS because it is just an empty, controlling cult, even though I still have family in, and miss them.
