  I can't see a 'quote' button in the 'reply' box.

  It's in the magic wand section

  New Forum Layout

  i suffer from depression and have also been diagnosed with asperger's syndrome, so it is not surprising that about 20 minutes ago i was feeling very depressed about the new look of my favourite ex jw forum, that is, this one.

  i have been living under a rock obviously because i had no idea any change was about to happen.. now i am beginning to understand how it works, everything is ok or soon will be.

  i like the like button and have already used it once.. now you understand why i left the borg.

  Changes can be hard, improvements are good though. With the Borg however the changes only bring more misery and more fear.

  That's what's missing from our family

  tonight as i was putting my son to bed, we were looking out his bedroom window from his bed, down upon the neighbors' house across the street.

  they have a beautiful, big sparkly christmas tree in their front window and my son gazed at it and said, "that's what's missing from our family.

  " talk about daggers through the heart!.

  I understand what you are saying. When I was fading I asked my kids if they wanted LED lights in their rooms, it was a way of bringing that little bit of Christmas sparkle to them.

  If it helps on DDs point I started a topic a few weeks ago called JW parents safeguard your children.

  This year my kids are spending Christmas with me and we have lots if lovely decorations. They've been looking forward to it since the summer!

  New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)

  by Simon in

  the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

  of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

  i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

  i think they are the most boring people on earth.

  they are about as exciting as a dead ant..

  A good dub needs an early night for morning ministry or meeting, therefore going out for a meal and home early is about the most fun you are allowed.

  What's with this "no windows in kingdom halls" thing?

  by Trapped in JW land in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear many people on this forum say that kh's don't have windows.

  but i have never been to one that didn't have windows.

  is this only in a certain area or something?.

  I seem to recall the excuse was because of vanadalism and no need to have windows because it would affect the aircon!

  oh i do enjoy a good laugh.

  i watched the naked gun movie last night i was surprised at.

  I really liked the shows before Naked Gun, they were called Police Squad. Well worth looking up. A lot of the humour was visual as well as spoken.

  life after the wtbts

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can't move forward to a new, more interesting, possibly much happier life, if you're still looking behind at the former life.. there is so much obsession on here about what the wtbts is doing, and discussing all the forms of injustice and bullshit in the wtbts, or how to bring down the wtbts.

  yes, their doctrines are crazy and they are a cult and cruel to boot.

  move on.

  There is life after WTBTS, and I am sure many are making the best of it. For many who have family still trapped they cannot be entirely free from the pain it has inflicted. Perhaps for others it is a form of therapy, a bit like Alcoholics Anonymous.

  If you find me in a gloom.

  by new hope and happiness in

  2. friends

  if you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream.

  here inside my lonely room there is no in between.. those are opening lyrics of a song " whispering pine" by the band.. such a beautiful sang with an element of pain by richard manuel.. anyway " if you find me in a gloom, or catch me on a dream" what is a " gloom" ?

  it ia a new tragity that awaits round the corner.. how about a thread of great songs with words in the lyrics that have meaning we dont understand?.
