DATA-DOG, I'm with you.
The JWs don't own exclusive rights to bullshit.

A non-Witnes who accepts 607 BC?
by careful inan eyebrow raiser to be sure.
i can understand the clergyman being so baptist that he'd still use the name jehovah since it was popular in english and german churches for a long time during and after the reformation, but 607?.
see ¶ 6 under the heading "the historicity of the book of daniel".

Things you didn't expect to like...
by sparrowdown instuff you never expected you would do or enjoy doing as a non-witness.... researching - always thought i hated study and reading turns out it was just wt literature i hated studying and reading.
having political opinions and just having opinons and beliefs that are not set in stone and that i am free to assess, review and adjust as i become more aware of imformation .
droping the f-bomb every now and again to make a point feels surprisingly good but that may just be post-religious rebellion that wears off... eventually.

I'm not with you. I loved all those things since way before.
I cannot speak for all the born-ins, but as a born-in, it was never my choice not to like those topics. I was always told not to, and I just didn't listen. I remember at 14 in high school (yes, I was already in high school at 14) talking about politics and voting and social issues with my friends in school (and some of them not liking it at all).
Part of my journey out of the JWs was precisely reclaiming my right to want and like what I choose to like and want.
I guess I was never meant to be a JW.

advice please/data protection
by Phoebe ini have just received an email from an elder's wife regarding the new data protection laws.
between the lines it sounds like she has been asked to contact me.. she says they 'don't want to leave me out' so they want me to fill out the form as 'i'm still part of the congregation'.
also, my blood card needs updating, apparently.. the elder in charge will be in contact.. obviously, i'm not doing either, but what do i do?

Can any of you tell me how to handle this, please?
I'd ignore it and if they ask me in person I lie telling that might have gone to the spam folder.

Interview with Dagney
by Dagney intell us a little about yourself and your family.. i was born and raised in southern california, with a brief stint with parents as need-greaters in central america.
my parents accepted a study in the d2d work, i believe my father was interested in the revolutionary aspect of the religion, and my mom said she wanted to learn the bible.
they were baptized in 1937 i think, and attended the one and only los angeles kh at the time.

Does any one know, how to "change" congregation and loose the publisher files during the relocation?
Start attending meetings in the new congregation. It's that simple. I have more to say but I'm afraid that might fall into the "unnecessary comments" category.
