Oh, yeah! Your screen name is backward of your real name.

Ha! Interesting!
i know that my mom frequents these boards a lot, she says it has really helped her deal with her pain caused by the jw's.
i figured maybe you could help me out too.. i'll start by saying that i'm fifteen, and that i am in an unfavorable situation concerning my relationship with a witness.
my mom doesn't feel comfortable with me talking to this person, and she says that it is a bad thing to be talking to her.

Spencer(?) It seems like everyone is calling you by this name.
Do the research. It is the best way to find out. If you just hear from us or your mom, you are making a decision based on hearsay. And that can backfire to you later. Does your mom have a Watchtower CD ROM? If she doesn't, can you ask your JW friend for one? Read "Crisis of Conscience". That'll be a good start. Do not just believe whatever is written in that book. Do the research. Find out for yourself. Then, in the future you might be able to help others to see the truth about the WTS.
Good luck!

hi doug, at [email protected].
i see you were spamming canadian news reporters with a false story about bill bowen being linked to a german porn dealer.
you told the reporter that friends of silent lambs are becoming disillusioned with silent lambs because of this supposed affilation.
So what's going on?
false story about Bill Bowen being linked to a German porn dealer. You told the reporter that friends of Silent Lambs are becoming disillusioned with Silent Lambs because of this supposed affilation.
I read about it before, but don't remember who posted it first.
Thank you, hawkaw, for clearing this out.
So Farkel, are you really DougC also? How many identities do you have?
my colleague sixofnine suggested the other day that i write a book for xjws about going and getting into college.
i really like the idea and thought what i would do is have an ask and answer thread about college to give me some ideas about what it is folks might want to know.
so ask away and i'll do my best to answer your questions.
Question on college: how is the cafeteria food?
Regarding the California colleges, whether you are a resident or not, you still have to pay even for the community college. If you have a degree already, you have to pay at least twice more than regular tuition. Things have gone up and have changed a lot. You need to contact your specific school for more info because each school has their own way of running their institution.
everybody has their own timetable when it comes to leaving the organization.
some due to family and friends continue indefinetly.
others, when they see all the lies of the "truth", leave right away.

You'll be in my prayer.
It took me 12 1/2 years: from study to DA.
if you were a governing body member (or one of the power brokers at bethel) what would worry you the most?
i was thinking about this last night.
do you worry about the lawsuits connected with the pedophile cover-up?
LOL@minimus
By the way who is Mr. Coffee?
in view of the fact that bill bowen and others who have supported the silentlambs agenda have been disfellowshipped, do you think this means the end of their effectiveness?
comments on the board suggest that now, jw's won't come forward to bill because witnesses won't want to talk to a disfellowshipped person.
and some have said that this was the reason why they were fighting their disfellowshipping.
Sheesh, you guys have said everything I wanted to say.
every so often we get so stuck with specifics and the latest wt scandals or doctrinal nuances that it's good to get back to the basics.
that is the purpose of this thread.
i cannot count the times that, when dubs arguments are demolished with quotes from their own literature and practices, they resort to this statement in sheer desperation: well, at least weve got the basics right.
Wow, Farkel! Thank you for this info, and I'll look forward to reading more of your post.
just like a lot of people on this board,every once in a while i take a break from this nuthouse we call cyber home,jw.com.
i usually know it`s time to take a break from this place when i start argueing with the board crazies and expect normal responses from them(lol)so whats your que,to take a break from jw.com?
I'm thinking of break, too.
when i surf on this discussion board i feel a lot of anger.
this is totally understandable because a lot of us suffered or still are suffering from their association with the watchtower society.
some of us are victims of child abuse.
One more thing.....
I am totally pro about "venting out". Before I DA'd myself, I was going crazy ( literally ) because no one would believe me and listen to me. They all said the WTS is the God's org., and that whatever they were doing is right. They said that I was the wrong one because I was thinking "negative".
I really needed to vent out. And I was lost. I was thinking, "if I leave the org., would I still be a Christian?" I desperately needed to talk.
I cannot thank enough to this DB. However, I, too, see some people go "over board". As I said before, most of us here are "the victims" of the WTS. Why do we make another victims out of ourselves? Everyone has a scar. Let's not tear it out but help to heal.
