  My First Birthday!!!!!

  2. friends

  my birthday isn't until the end of july but yesterday i got my first birthday gift in the mail.

  my best friend (stubborn disbeliever) sent me my gift early.

  i know what it is, but seeing it all wrapped up and knowing on my birthday i can open it...it really struck a cord with me.

  Yep, we're looking forward to it. I think we're going to have a cook out with some local friends. No decapitations. But there maybe some naked dancing around a camp fire. Just kidding Sweetie

  Love you and so proud of you & hubby.

  i was lurking on jwtalk [gung ho borg forum] and came across a picture of capt.

  picard as a borg for a moderator's avatar 'staff'.

  does this mean it's a 'in your face' for the apostates?

  Interesting.

  Making a Last Will and testament for ex JWs

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so you survived the wts upbringing and despite a bad start managed to put your life back together and plan for the future:.

  pension planning and general finance for ex-jws.

  sadly, you may find yourself still at a disadvantage as you lack the support group of friends and family that many rely on and could be cut-off even from immediate family.. but it can't get any worse can it?.

  Good idea. Get a will. You do not want JW family giving your estate to WTBT$

  I know here in New Mexico, U.S.A if you do not make a will, your estate automatically goes to your kids first and if there is no heir then it goes to your parents [if surviving] but if not, your siblings.

  There is no way in hell that I want any of my JW family getting my property. If any heirs listed in my will do not survive me, then it goes to the St Jude's Children's research hospital. They never charge the families to treat the kids.

  I'm somewhat back again

  by Gojira_101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to take a break from jwn here because after all the drama that unfolded over a certain new anti-wt organization i had to back off because i had unbearable emotions and "flashbacks" to being a jw and being bullied.

  even though i didn't experience any direct bullying, seeing it happen caused all the negative emotions to come back because i felt like i was back at the kingdom hall.

  so i just left for awhile.. i've been having to do a lot of soul searching lately and reevaluating my life.

  You go Sweetie! When we let JJ post our elder visit video we knew that if anyone recognized us, we were done. But like Gojira said, we've already lost all of our friends and family, so what more can they do to us. They have NO AUTHORITY over anyone unless YOU allow them to.
