how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.
i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.
i envisioned that gothic romance motif, all about romance and love, i didn't know what i was doing, didn't know sex was like that.

this quote is from someone who lurks on jwd!
sorry for the long email, but this has been therapeutic and i just may post this on the db one day.
(lol) but i have to get up the nerve, because those people can be a little mean at times.
I for one enjoy jumping on and attacking mindless WTBTS doctrinal propogation! But if someone is sincere, I'm not going to punish them for it. Some people are merely operating logically on incorrect information, is all. Just because a computer is fed incorrect data, doesn't mean the computer is bad, it's the data that's bad! That's what most Dubs are suffering at the moment, a lapse of data accuracy (a very large, sustained lapse).
Unfortunately the problem is not that simple, as the WTBTS mind-meme is significantly more complex than I am making out. Intermingled with other psychological traits, it is very difficult to isolate against it's natural background of mental noise, much like a brain tumour in the center of the medulla oblongata is inoperable simply because reaching it would mean the severing of so much nerve fiber the patient would die. This is the case for many Dubs - there entire mind has been replaced by this mental tumour, and if it were to be forcibly removed, they would die, mentally speaking.
Nobody wants to die. This is the primary aspect of life, not wanting to die. All lifeforms display this attribute of trying to resist death, and so does the WTBTS meme. It is just as alive as it's hosts, but it isn't a simple parasite, i.e. it's not a case of one WTBTS organism per host. The WTBTS meme is larger and more distributed, and uses the links between people (the social connections) to propogate and install new sub-nodes in the virginal mental territory of children and new converts, and this is how it survives from day to day, because some of it's hosts are always busy dying.
A fascinating topic, on which I could divulge at great length!
THERE! Do I qualify as an 'intellectual' now?

is this happening anywhere else?
i'm in southern california and the jw's are sitting outside target at least twice a week with a table set up.
okay, when i was pioneering, this was a big no-no.
Damn Dubs are getting lazy again. Time for a Circuit Overbeer visit, I see!

swamp their server.
i can tell you the subject email address went through.
i didn't get a rejection anyway.
That is, if he is smart enough to retrieve email for the root user.
Do they even know what a root account is at Brooklyn?
I find it pretty damn hard to believe that they're running any *NIXish OS at Brooklyn. The level of technical expertise required to do something like that is pretty high, and we all know that the Bethelites are not chosen for their qualifications, but rather because of their standing in the Congregations (nudges elbow).
Then again, distros like Mandrake and Redhat (and soon Lindows) are making it so damn easy to install and start a hypertext server that I actually wouldn't be too surprised. About the hardest part of running a Mandrake server is putting the installation DVD in the drive and pressing the big red Power button
So who wants to make bets against how long it'll be before someone 'owns' them again? I bet the 'webmaster' doesn't even know what a patch is, let alone how to apply one...he prolly thinks BugTraq is a mailing list filled with demons. Which, technically, it is.

regarding this subject, you'll be glad to know that human efforts fail but if you get right with god via the jehovah's witnesses, jehovah will cure you in his own due time!!!.
so you see, they are still discouraging people from seeking professional help.. http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2001/7/8/article_03.htm.
HEHE, ApostateDuJour, we should start an Apostates Anonymous sorta thing:

ex-jw's are a bunch of $&^%& style posters, all seam to have one thing in common.. they never stick around for a proper debate.. just fire away some accusations, and leave.. gets on my nerves.. why wont witnesses stay and make their point against reasoned arguments?.
chicken?
How about some examples, Sleepy?

over the years of being on the net there are always some post that just stand out more than others.
there is a guy not sure where he is from but his name is norm, - this guy has no idea the role he played in my leaving wt.
according to the watchtower, when has there not been "a time of urgency.
Farkel: Well, somebody had to say the T word, I guess! *LOL*
Happy Man: Sure, those brothers were so nice to you when you visited all of those other countries. How about if you'd told them you were disfellowshipped? They would've told you to go and place your head where the sun doth not cast it's hot rays. The only way to understand how terrible Dub shunning is, is to experience it for yourself.
You are just asking for it with a post like this.
Although I have a feeling you aren't Swedish at all.
Your grammar and dictation resemble garbled English more than Swedish, which leads me to suspect that you are not being entirely truthful with us (not that I give a flying...a troll is a troll, no matter where they live on this planet of ours). Swedish has a very different structure to English (in grammatical and punctuational terms), so don't expect to fool us for terribly long. Why don't you just write your posts in plain ole English so they're easier to read if you aren't Swedish? Everybody will be Happy then (after all, apostates are the happiest people on Earth ) Reading your posts is like swimming through superglue.
I also agree with Farkel. Which part exactly is a lie? If you don't tell us pretty soon, you're gonna have half the board (the more incindiary half) jumping down your throat for flamebait like that!
So tell us some more 'positive' things about the BORG. Where to start? How about the hiding of child molesters, the supreme, unquestionable (and unscriptural) GB.
Worst of all - if you question the commands handed down by the WTBTS, you are DFd. Bye bye. Nice knowing ya! And yet the Bible even says 'Make sure of all things'. But your 'Society' says something else.
Interesting, eh? If you question what gets handed down from up high, you are dead. Bang. Goodbye. Toodeloo.

and if you read some snarls in between those words, you don't know the half of it.. my wife asked me to go to the memorial last night, and i decided to go if for no other reason than to keep tabs on what's going on.
those who know my story know that my situation is unusual.. just before we left she came to me privately and said that she had something to tell me before i heard it from anyone else.
she knows exactly how i feel about the society, and was scared as to my reaction, and i don't blame her: there's hell to pay.. jeff strebe committed suicide the night before.
((((LONEWOLF))))
That's horrid.
