Hi to all X-JWs in Utah. It's cold here in Ogden, but warm wishes go out to you all from our family. 'Let the games begin', I think that's what I told my husband as we walked into my JCM in 2000. We no longer carry the 'torch' for the organization. My family is alive and well!
Stay safe and warmmy Utah friends.

last night while i was at work, my mom came to get the kids to spend the weekend with her.
then chris calls me at work and asks if i will come see him after work.
i go to his house, end up spending the night.
BBRRRRRRR....It's a tad bit cold here in Ogden, Utah. How's about 12 degrees and it feels like 2. The games have begun. I'm staying inside where it's nice, warm & cozy. I'm about 1/4 to 1/2 a mile away from the Olympic Ice Sheet (ice skating event), but I'll watch it on TV.
WE've got huge helicopters flying over and sounds like they're gonna land on the roof. Security is tight.
Keep warm my friends,

this was my first time talking to my df'd aunt since i found out the truth about the 'lie'.
i gotta tell you things are really different now.
i almost wanted to get on my knees and beg for forgivness for the way she has been treated by my family for so many years but i was at her place of work.
Isn't amazing at how we or some of us see things so clearly once we've left or were tossed out of the 'organization'? I'm the youngest of 9 children & how I use to miss my 'worldly family', because they wouldn't have anything to do with me & my family. But, it wasn't them that wouldn't 'associate' with us, IT WAS ME. I was the one with all the new 'loving' rules & regulations. Putting on the new personality cost me 15 years of being without them. I have a huge family of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, etc. I missed being there during my DAD's last days. Oh, what a wonderful, fine and loving man. His funeral was on the day of "Memorial". We had to leave right after his funeral service and travel about 2 hours so we could attend the Memorial at my husband's parents KH. I always hated that. But, I was loyal and stupid. I've lost a number of JW friends for the time being, but, it's my hope that one day they can be just my friends when and they will be out of the organization. My hope for them is as strong or stronger for their Christian freedom as my hope as a JW was that I could save them/others from total destruction as laid out by the 'org'.
My huge loving family has always been there for us and they still are. This is true AGAPE. Yes, and I'm proud to be have been humbled.
By not being a JW, my family and I have everything to gain. My husband and 2 children have lost his JW Dad & Mom/grandparents, but they have the invitation to call, write and/or see us if they so choose. They have chosen and it is their GREAT loss & misfortune.
Forest Gump says, "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES".
I've decided not to be stupid anymore! (or at least I'm not going to try and practice stupidity anymore). How's that?

My husband gave a letter to the elders & in it he told them not to call him anymore, and that any further communication must be in writing to him or to a lawyer. He said he would attend the JCM only if his lawyer could be present. That, he must have in writing the charges against him, as well as a list of the people that were to testify against him. That night an elder on the committee and another on the phone listening in (2 witnesses)called to see if he would meet with the JC the following night. He asked him if they had read his letter and they said yes. The next night HIS JC meeting was held without him. They, then, called him to inform him that they disfellowshipped him on the grounds of 'APOSTACY'. But, they did tell him he could appeal should he want too. WHAT A JOKE!
They are sooooooo funny.
Here's a joke: Question: Why do men have a hole in their penis?
Answer: So they can get oxygen to their brain!!!!
I guess these guys must have had their holes plugged or just tied off. What other reason could there be? HA HA HA!
hillary,.
in another thread you described your understandings of the new testament as being those of a "preterist.
" would you please descibe what that means exactly?
Venice, I haven't read Parousia yet, but my husband is reading it right now. He loves it. Beyond End Times, by John Noe is a good one to start with. He also, wrote Dead in Their Tracts, very good reading.
I'm so glad I had thses to read. It makes a lot of since.
Try these also: Before Jerusalem Fell and Perilous Times, both by Kenneth Gentry. Matthew Twenty-Four Fulfilled, by John Bray.
Hope these hel, they sure cleared up a lot of things for me.
Glad to meet another Preterist.
Good reading to you.
hello bill, i have been thinking about one great method to make public awareness of child molestation and rape in the organization to explode like an 80 megaton hydrogen bomb!.
hollywood studios have an obsession with crime movies that chronicle the lives of the abused, and those like you, bill, who make a major difference in protecting them.. there are two kinds of movie themes, the documentary and "docu-drama.
" it's the second that is ordinarily used because it's based on real life.
Mulan, you are so right. Hopkins does play sinister roles exceptionally well, so I'm sure he could still land a major role. What do you think about my idea of the SEX & the City gals portraying JW sisters. Could you see them going to the meetings, out in service, doing Bible studies with the JWs, so they could get they could get the feel of their roles. Wouldn't that be a hoot & a holler? More popcorn please.

Can you see the leading 'ladies' of Sex & the City portraying haughty, self-rightous, gossipping, JW sisters? Wouldn't that really get the proverbial 'goat' of the society? I'd have the popcorn ready.
