danny you have been fearless in your exposing jws for the cult they are and the harm they have done and are doing.
keep up the good work.
but please be careful in what you do as this board and recovering xjws need people like you who are fearless in exposing the wt.
What part of "do not call" do they not understand ??
Here's an example, what if a Hassidic Jew knowingly went to the house of a known islamic leader with the intent of converting him to Judaism, that would be insane and unthinkable. Yet the JW's knowingly went to the house of the most anti-JW in the USA with the intent of converting him, I mean that is almost stupid, correction that is stupid.
I love your analogy Junction Guy, LOL!

Does anyone know whether Danny has had his posting priveleges removed? Could this be why he has not responded here?

For those that have not read all the posts on this topic, I will restate my position as well.
I would NOT have taken the same action as Danny did....but I CAN well understand his frustration and why HE did it. SO MUCH in Danny's life has led up to this incident! And YES.....if the JWs had not ignored the signs posted and decided to go to his door anyway....it would not have happened.
I have SAID I did not condone that spraying, but some posters seem to feel that a only a tarring and feathering of Danny will suffice and those that show a modicum of empathy or understanding of his position....are dead wrong. WE are wrong. THEY are right.
You seem to forget....It is merely YOUR opinion......just as mine is.
i was doubtful about this but decided to give it a try - if good enough i would make some for xmas gifts.
made in a bread machine.
black forest-chocolate cherry bread.
I just found a place that sells bags of Rye flour....I have been hunting for months and had given up on finding any. I have not yet made any bread with it...I have been up to my eyebrows with apples and pies and applesauce and....etc etc

after being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.
over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.
a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.
(((((Sweetface)))))
What a lovely message for ALL of us to heed! Thank you......and thank HIM for us!

How can anyone RESIST looking at a topic with THAT title!
And it sounds dreamy, Lee!

***** You are still welcomed to my home in Hawaii. Just one rule; NO COMPUTER TIME FOR YOU! You need to just get away from it all for a while IMO.
Vinny....I am going to reply to this.....and end this once and for all. I have spent enough time going over this in my head and I am not going to allow THIS to eat me up with hurt any more.
You had said you were not going to post on different boards any more and said, among other things, that it was taking up too much of your time, etc, etc and I had written back something along the line that I agreed, and that it WAS addicting (being on the different boards) and it COULD be obsessive if we let it, etc. This was MONTHS ago....(I recall I owed you an email with good news and THAT was about my sister's upcoming visit the first week of August...so I know it had to be said before that)
THEN KABAM I see your post about me referring TO that email! I almost could not believe you had done that! I am the type that when someone writes me something privately---it would NEVER occur to me to blab their thoughts and feelings on an open forum---but then---that's just ME. It wasn't that I said anything I was embarrassed at SAYING....it was a matter of DECENCY and fair play.
When I get HURT by the deliberate actions of someone else....I no longer trust them. I have no desire to spend time with you or to exchange emails. I am not bound to act on what YOU have decided to do or NOT do with respect to the WTS. YOUR choice was not MY choice.
So, I would have to decline ANY invitation to your home.... in that whatever might be said in confidence....could very well be introduced as fodder for discussion and a personal evaluation of my "motives" somewhere in the future. I don't like that feeling, that someone I TRUSTED and I had said something in passing to, would turn around and bite me in the backside with it.
It was kind of crummy of you to do that. A lesson learned on my part.
I wish the best for you and your family....but I have lost respect for you as a friend.

i was at my parents yesterday chatting with my dad.
he asked me what i wanted to do for my bday and i said dinner would be nice.
i explained that this was always a touchy subject with us (hubby and me) and his face changed.
(((((4mylove)))))
I don't have any real advice to offer.....but I am glad that you have such wonderful parents to be able to visit and share things with. Of course you have countless friends here on JWD that will "be there" whenever you need a hug or some consoling words.
hugs,
Annie
i should introduce myself, since this is my first post.
i'm actually not an ex-jw, but rather someone who has just lost his faith in a different church, the mormon church.
i've long suspected that in terms of the organizational aspects of our two churches, how they hook you mentally, how they condition you, how they socialize you and make it very hard to leave, from an abstract level there's really not a dime's worth of difference.
Hello Sethmo and welcome to JWD!
I enjoyed your posts thus far and look forward to seeing more from your corner.
hugs,
Annie
