Many of us left the WTBS because of the Lack of Love.
Even though this forum gets pretty wild at times, at least it's a place when people can come and be honest about themselves and others without condemnation. I like that.
yesterday i watched a thread grow so fast it was insane.
that thread wasn?t about how bad the society was, it wasn?t about sex or drugs, it was what we thought could have been someone committing suicide, saying they had enough?life sucks and then....
then today i read a second posting of someone who has done an exhaustive study on the postings found within jwd (actually only the tame ones that are from people leaning more pro org than against) and determined what a hate filled sack of pus this place is.

The Phrase Jehovah's Witnesses use for people like Holly is "Sitting On The Fence" - My husband has another phrase "S..t" or Get off the Pot; I tend to agree with him in this situation.
have any of you been to an ex jw meetup?
if so, how did you feel about it?
i went to one in november, 2004. for me, it was terrible.
Once they get started, they're great. We have one here in Columbus every month at a local Restaurant. From this, we decided to get together in a less formal atmosphere. (Much like our old JW "get-togethers") Our network is growing.
we have just lost one of our dear brothers.
this new just came to me today via email.
i dedicate this post in memory of my best friend dave rapp who is one of us.
Blessed Are the Pure In Heart For They Shall See God.
beginning in june through july, jehovah's witnesses will be hosting every weekend three-day conventions.
over all, anywhere from 50,000 to 55,000 will be attending.
this will mean $8.6 million for the city's economy.
That will be good for Toledo. It's a dead little NE Ohio Town and can use the business.
whether by death, shunning, or some other means: here is a candle in their memory.
though gone from us, you are not forgotten and you will be forever loved.. for my dad, who killed himself two years ago today:.

I miss you Thomas. I look forward to the day when you're eyes are opened. Love - Mom
the other day i went in for a routine physical and today i got the results in the mail.
it turns out my cholesterol is out of wack and needs to be corrected.
(normal) numbers in parenth are what my levels should be.. cholesterol = 249 ( < 200 ).
I remember about five years ago when mine was a little high. That's all I talked about for weeks. Try to get a little more exercise and watch what you eat. (Yes, you've got to stop eating MacDonald's Fries every day)
well maybe not a friend but some one i have known for 55 years.
she and her family were at one time associated with the jws, except her husband.
her sons left the org.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It's really sad She didn't know how much you cared. You are a good kind soul.
dear brothers and sisters, servants of god, jehovah's witnesses, ex-jw's, opposers, apostates, and athiests.. jehovah's witnesses need your help.
i would like to thank you for all the work you have done so far.
we need as many critics as we can get.
You seem like a sweet kid with good intentions. Please be More Cautious. The WTBS doesn't like competition; they'll squash you like a Bug first chance they get.
are you the type that's easily influenced by the opinion of others?
i'm easy to influence, but once i'm back alone, i do what i wanted to do originally.
how about you, are you easily influenced?
I think the majority of posters on this forum are not easily influenced. That's an advantage. We're not JWs anymore.
