Thanks so much for letting us know. COC was the catalyst that sent me over the edge when I was having serious doubts on the credibility of WTS teachings. I am another one of many that owes him a great deal.

" users of this phrase are anything but sorry.
what they mean is "i'm an asshole.
now i'm going to prove it.
The overuse of..... "youknowhatImsayin?".....added after every sentence. UGH!
"Believe you me"....(ALWAYS hated that term since I was 10 years old and spent the summer with relatives that all used this phrase. To this day I cringe when I hear it but thank goodness it isn't as popular as it used to be.
i am not the oldest but have 3 years here!
restrangled.. how about you?.
Lot of good people have moved on. Valis; Little Toe; Xena; Englishman; Xenawarrior; onacruse and I'm forgetting dozens of others. I really miss them sometimes.
Don't miss Fred Hall. I never saw what folks saw in him.

Hi Chris! How's it going?
Valis, LittleToe and Englishman were the first three I thought of when I posted here earlier! I have to admit I spent a lot of time in total hysterics with Corvin and ....oh my...a Senior Moment here....Buckshot or Gunshot was it? The one with the little girl....anyway (scuse the memory lapse) they were SO funny and between those two and Farkel bantering back and forth....it was quite a time back then.
I had no use for Fred Hall either. I just did not "get him" at all.

I am so grateful that you are home! I know you are in bed now but I will be able to sleep so much better myself now that I know things were not life-threatening. You are so precious and dear to so many of us that have grown to love you over the years here.....so you will have to forgive us for wanting to hang on to you as long as we possibly can.
Get lots of rest and do try not to get involved with stressful situations that are not good for you.
love and hugs,
Annie

I do hope someone lets us know what her condition is REALLY soon.......
anybody know anyone that fits the bill or is at least close to it??
i told her i'd keep on searching for her.
please help..
Oh NO! I was just chatting with her last night on another board....I asked how she was doing and she said she was still alive.....I thought she was just being "Mouthy" and teasing in her own way. I said I wished we lived closer by each other so we could chat face to face. I logged off shortly after that
I sure hope she is okay. She means so much to me.

restrangled.. how about you?.
I guess it was about eight years ago I joined up here....I had been on ARJW, Women Awake and H2O (joined that one in 1998) for quite a while too.

"The fact is Jehovah's Witnesses are not recognized as a religion in some countries; branded as a cult or sect, their activities were banned in Canada and Australia, for example.
So Jehovah's Witnesses want to have it both ways; they actually define intolerance of other views, yet demand tolerance for their own."
-------------------
This pretty much sums it up doesn't it?
this is something i've thought about over and over in my mind.
anyone df or da are viewed by active jws as "dead when armageddon comes".
are they waiting for us to die?.
Yes....this is another manifestation of their skewed and unreasonable thinking....ALL STEMMING from their Watchtower training! It is unnatural and it is compassionless.....both of which are neither from Jesus or what HE taught.
The scripture speaking of having "no natural affection" fits the Watchtower followers to a Tee.....they are trained to shut down their human emotions and natural tendencies and have replaced these with a cold hard (and quite arrogant) attitude. Unless one is another WTS follower, the JW has zero feelings of love or compassion towards others who do not share their love of delusional old men in Brooklyn.
They are looking forward to their pretend and unrealistic world where only OTHER hatefilled, self-righteous and unreasonable JWs roam the earth.....to live in the homes (of their dead neighbors) that they have already picked out when out in service and to revel in an eternity filled with endless picnics, eating giant fruit and patting Pandas and lions forever. Just the thought of spending eternity with these superfine, nasty and overly judgmental people looking over MY shoulder....is enough to make me run for the Pepto-Bismol.
