Yes, don't look at yourself as an XJW, just look at yourself as a human being. Works wonders, lemme tell ya. I know it can be hard to get out of the rigmarole of the JW life, but you've gotta do it for your own sake...good luck man, hope things are going well that side.

Hi RF, just wanted to add something, my respect for you in this matter has gone up seeing that you put in that last sentence, the one about her input mattering, but how can that make sense when you say (unless it was just a typo, and I'm open to this possibility because I know you'd never flame someone without due reason) that she posts stupid threads?

Curious minds want to know!

Forgiveness is the at once a very difficult thing to do and also one of the greatest things one can do. And with stuff like Tori sings about forgiveness is very far from easy.

Hi RF, as a long-time poster I do respect you, but I find that this:

You post stupid threads that 50 people respond to and you post what you think is important material that noone hardly reads.

is a little bit harsh! If, as Prisca said, you were actually talking about yourself (or other posters in general), then I understand, but don't you think that's a little bit on the aggressive side? If YOU read that about YOURSELF wouldn't you feel down, and think that RF really thought you were a dimwit? I would.

extracts from bbc web page regarding panorama investigation!!!!!!!.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/panorama/newsid_2124000/2124380.stm.

the jehovah's witnesses are christians who believe the teachings of the bible, using their own translation.

It has been estimated close to 1000 Jehovah's Witness children die each year due to this policy.

OMG I had no idea the numbers were that large...

The Fragility of Digital Data & The Impact ...

didn't really know which section of the forums to post this in, so i stuck it in "friends"!.

the article linked at the bottom of this post makes some interesting points - according to a study, only .003% of our data isn't stored on some form of computer today.. needless to say, this is a somewhat disturbing statement.

having had loads of experience with computing hardware, one eventually realizes that most of the hardware out there is actually rather unreliable - hard drives, for instance.

Thanks Lisa!

Phoney Baloney

by Perfection Seeker in

one of my biggest pet peeves of being a witness was when the overseer would come visit, and everyone was sooo nice, sweet to everyone, no clicks, they'd arrive early, stay after & talk, everyone would raise their hands, give "heartfelt" answers, looked nice, sang loud, just the model congregation.

yet, when the overseer wasnt there, people would come late, leave early, not be nice to everyone, blah blah.

i guess to me- if they knew what they "should" be doing, why not do it all the time?

Well Witnesses have many double standards in their lives, and this is one of the more striking ones. It was just like that in my old Halls too! Brings back some disturbing memories.
