Org Limits JWD Forum Activities ??
by ArtfulDodger inis it true that the org are stopping the jwd forum from re-activating the chat room facility because it allows instant discussion rather than the stilted question / response of the threads ?
is this a sign that this site is not as distant from the org as we thougth ?
is there a paranoid in the house ?

Apostates And Never-Beens At Fests Together.
by Englishman ini think that it works quite well.. a 50 - 50 split between 'postates and and ordinary folk at fests does have some distinct advantages imho.. plus, the 35 + never beens at the wsm fests all now know about jw's.
they know that there's more to being a dub than not having a blood transfusion.
they've met the 35 + ex's in a social situation and know all about shunning and family splitting.

Oi! Greetings me olde fruit! I would say it really doesn't matter. It is IMO more a mix of good personalities than anything. I would say though that it is better for ex dubs for sure to have a mixed crowd. That way they aren't just going on about JWland, but they have to use those social skills and interact with people they would most probably never speak to.
BTW, wanting to come and see you all badly... Please tell Richard I said hello and send my regards.

Discipline or Child Abuse?
by Dimples ini remember spanking my son when we used to attend meetings and conventions because he cried and just wouln't sit still.
i was told that he had to be disciplined so he would learn to behave and learn what was being said from the platform.
now that i look back i realize that that was child abuse and i feel so horrible about it.do you feel guilty for spanking your kids during meetings and conventions?

One can only imagine those churches with Sunday school classes don't have children being spanked for being children. That is exactly why so many of us got spankings at the hall. Bad stuff and something I would be infuriated to see happen to anyone's child. The only time I have ever spanked my kids is when they have done something to put themselves in danger against my express wishes. Like running away from me and into the street. That IMO is the only reason a spank is ever warranted. Maybe 2 times ever in my kid's lives.

What to say...
by wanderlustguy in.
i don't know what to say here, i've typed this 10 times...and deleted it.
i just feel really, really alone.. goodnight.

Perhaps you have temprarily lost your wanderlust, or maybe it is that is precisely what you need to do. Find some. Get out and belong to everywhere. There are many places in the small world I have explored that I KNOW a piece of me belongs to. You sound as if your need to belong is entangled with other people and their direct participation or control of who you are. It is hard leaving ingrained structure, but do yourself a favor a go explore the world a continent away, even if not only a block. Wishing you the best.
