greetings my fellow jwd posters.
yes, it's been quite some time since i've graced the on-line pages here.. i think like many people, you get in here "hot & heavy" so-to-speak, and then after awhile, you either grow tired of it; frustrated and well, peoples' reasons to leave or 'take a break' are as long as a roll of charmin (not great for writing on mind you).. quite frankly, i didn't think i'd find myself posting here.
but after a couple of years; the occasional browsing of topics and to see how a few members were doing, i don't mind opening up the door once again periodically and add my two cents worth.. there looks to be many newbies, hell.....i don't even recognize 1/10th of the people posting on here.
RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see you! I so often have thought as I am driving down Spadina I gotta stop in a say hi.
Tried once but you weren't around. Are you still working the same location? If so I will have to come buy and say hello and catch up.
Ray is and always has been one of the good people I think of fondly from my time on these boards. Damn nice to see you tonight!

i got disfelowshiped when i divorced my husband and altho we both went on to have relationships with other people he didn't get disfelowshiped as he wasn't going to meetings.
we have since then got back together and i find it so frustrating that i still get treated like a leper being shunned by his family and all the other witnesses but he still gets invited to dinner and works with them.
i don't want to be best buddys with any of them i just hate it when they cross the road to avoid me .

Let me guess, new light states you are in fact going to keep posting on this thread despite your word otherwise. Just like your masters the WTBS.
All dem big words I learned from my JW edumacation. Reading dem Watchtowers and Awakes for 10 years is equal to a university education donchya know.
i noticed alot of polls of what the guys prefer..how about the ladies?
do you prefer blonde, redhead or dark?
how about height?
I am grateful for having all my own teeth, Clean too! So no worries. It just was weird reading it.
Once you've had Canuck you can't go back!

What does GTFA mean.
I took it mean "Get The F*** Away".
Oh oh ... forgot I said I wouldn't respond here.
'scuse me
T'is okay. You aren't the first lying judgmental hypocritical JW we've seen nor likely the last. But do keep posting you do more to prove our point about JW's than anything we could say.

Wow what a surprise, Rosalee is being judgemental.
To lovelylissa: I would insist your husband support you. The situation as you describe it is not fair.

how about tall and IN THE dark, handsome?
What is it with teeth? You buying a freaking horse? "better check the teeth Wilbur. Ma don't want us bringin home no critter fit fer the glue factory"
i read the two books.. awakening - this was the story of a married witness woman (elder husband) with family in the religion.
she had childbirth/blood rh issues and had to deal with not 'associating' with a disfellowshipped daughter.
throughout the book she wrestles with various issues and suffers mental anguish jumping through hoops because of the religion.
Franz' books are great for those never exposed to the realities of Bethel life. To any bethelite reading it, they would chuckle and nod and see themselves experiencing the same things daily. It came across when I reviewed for some work in Legal as a malcontent and was easily dismissed by me at that time.
It was doctrine, lack of real love, lack of humanitarian values of any kinds, that drove me out. The hypocrasy at the higher levels was simpyl icing on the decision making cake.

i guess this means you can maim and kill animals all you want, just so long as you don't enjoy it too much.. sorta like being a isrealite warrior who makes a living killing people but yet is commanded to "hate violence".

If you are going to piss off members of the flock, it is wise not to piss off the ones with guns. idiots!!
