what's a friend? I have only acquaitances left and they're dwindling rapidly. I'd say the worst thing a friend could do to you is lie about you (seems like it's happened to everyone here). Being 'used' by your friends ain't all that grand either though. I only get calls anymore when someone needs something fixed - house, computer etc. I'm tired of that but I guess it just means I must be REALLY boring to hang out with! lol

I've never once seen an empty thread on a board. ( I mean devoid of comments not necessarily non-devoid of value) (??what??)
ps this seems as good a place as any to mention that I always submit posts WITHOUT reading the guidelines. Fact. (flaunting the system)

Crisis of Conscience
by Cheyannesways ini am on the last chapter of this book!
i can hardly put it down.
have you all read it?

DFWnonJW
My brother phoned me and told me about Crisis... about three years ago. He insisted that I HAD to read it but it took me a few months to actually make the effort to get it. I was kinda skeered to I guess. When I got it home I opened it up and started reading, like most of you I could not put it down till I was through. And man was I pissed! It made so much sense of all the crap we had drilled into us for all those years.
Some time later I told a long time friend about it telling him he "HAD to read it!" lol Took a long time before he did and even then it was with the intention of "exposing all the errors" in it. Well, he said he couldn't find any errors. He didn't agree with everything in the book but was impressed with the majority of the info. That book has opened alot of eyes and let so many see that they weren't "the only one" that felt something wasn't right in the WT world.

For those without mothers
by Lady Lee inmothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.
for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.. for others our mothers are lost to the borg.
in fact, we may never have had the opportunity to celebrate a mother's day with them.

Stumbled into this thread not knowing just what I would find. All I can say is that you are all some amazing people!!! I feel for what you have been through and am awed by your will power and strength.
I've been wondering if I should do anything special for my mom this weekend despite her religion. Well, her religion be damned - she's having a Mother's Day this year and she's going to know that it's a Mother's Day too. No pretense. She's 81 and very frail and we all know that she may not be around much longer and that is such a shame because she is one of the good ones. One of those people that will put herself out to help others. The religion thing has caused a great deal of stress and tension in the family for almost my entire life but despite that, she hasn't shunned any of us. We wouldn't let her anyways! She understands quite well that her family, as troublesome as we can be are now all she has left. So get ready mom, you're about to be celebrated. Like it or not.

ex-JWs: Do you now say "Bless You!" when someone sneezes?
by Yizuman in.
most jws can't say "god bless you" or "bless you" when someone sneezes for fear of blessing someone with the wrong god.. now that you are out, do you have the nerve to say it?.
yizuman.

I'm still uncomfortable with that saying. I think it's more my way of avoiding any religiosity whenever possible. And it bugs me when I've "been blessed". Blessing after the fact does no good, if you're going to invoke the power of the god(s) then make me not sneeze in the first place.
