The only persecution, grief, pain, sadness, disappointment, gossip, slander, betrayal and suffering I ever experienced in my relatively short time as a witness came all from inside the kingdom hall and at the hand of other witnesses.

The people i least get along with are EX- J.Ws
by new hope and happiness ini am not talking about posters here on this board ( otherwise i wouldn't be here would i) but in general.. si i am talking those ex j.ws in my community and we just dont get on.
well ok its a bit of an exaggeration to say i don't get on with them, we just dont associate.
this botherd me at first as i thought we would have much in common, but it wasn't so, and it's just the way it is.

This seems quite normal and even common to me. I know of whole and entire families whose only connecting bond was that they all had the same parents and were raised in the same families. In time when those parents passed away.. the family members exploded, fragmented, and all went their separate ways deciding that none of them in fact even liked each other or really ever got along or had anything in common. As with blood families, all your associations in the org are not really chosen by you but rather given to you as a result of being in that religion.
Of the people that were my closest friends/associates/peers etc in the org when I was younger I'd say over 40 of them are no longer in 'the truth', either they were disfellowshipped, turned apostate, turned mad or whatever. Am I still friends or even in contact with any of them? Not a single one. Would I like to be? To be honest.. not really. -

Yes they apparently clean all records after a certain period of time. I was away for 26 years. When I went back not only was there no record of me ever having been disfellowshipped there was also no record of me being baptised. All the new cong had to go on was my own word.
My complete existence had been purged from all records and many of the people that new me were dead and gone or with evaporated memories.

New Member Story
by No Retreat No Surrender inwhen i found out "ttat" i felt like muhammad ali when joe frazer knocked him down in their first fight in the 15th round.
the ref came over grab my gloves and looked me in the eyes and asked me "are you ok, can you continue" and then gave me the standing 8 count.
no it didn't knock me out but it staggered me.

Lol. You have quite some time on your hands, Focus.
But that's just it.. he doesn't because this took him about 49 seconds to sketch together.
Any other normal mortal would require a least a week plus 3 shifts in the library and plenty of time on their hands. Don't let the apathy of others dampen your glow Focus.

I think it would be a beautiful weight drop from the 1200.. my goodness that bike is a tank. But incredibly agile and nimble once you get used to throwing that weight around. Except when once I slid fully loaded into a deep muddy ravine in the French Alps.. took me a good 4 hours to drag 630 lbs of bike out a few inches at a time. I thought I was going to die on that mountain.
The GS800 would be perfect for me for the city.

Hey ducatijoe how did you find the BMW GS800? I was thinking to get one for a run around town bike?
"if you leave the "truth" you will have a sad sorry life!"
I remember being told that the first time I left in '84'. What a great big lie that was..

I don't get why people feel threatened and and feel a need insult someone merely because he is glaringly leagues above most in intelligence levels and could probably dance rings round just about anyone in here I'd wager on just about any subject he chooses.
Why the petty and small insults?
I for one applaud intelligence and even more so when combined with razor wit. You make interesting and refreshing reading Focus. I tilt my hat to you.
