  Goodbye to JWD ... hello to JWN !

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  as i announced some time ago, jwd as it is will not continue .... ... but .... it's clear from people's comments that they do like the site and many would like it or something else like it to continue.. one issue was the forum software that was self-developed and not really in a good state to hand-over to anyone but i've been working on that and can now reveal the first release of what will probably be called jwn (son of jwd):.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/.

  it is still work-in-progress so not all features are enabled yet but it will allow you to browse the site in a similar way to this one and it is pointing at the same database (although because of the way the caching works, new posts made on this site won't appear immediately).

  I wasn't sure it wasn't the truth until I found this forum and the courage to read CoC. I was saddened to see how the organization I'd given my life to was full of hypocracy and hurtful deeds. My heart broke when I read the Maliwi/Mexico information. I spiraled down into a depression that lasted about three weeks. In the end, I was relieved to know that I had not doomed my kids by leaving.

  It's not a machine. It's a metal cone, the turkey goes in head first, the throat gets cut or the head comes off and it bleeds out. Then off to the next part of the processing.

  Ironic that SP was there to pardon a turkey and yet stands in front of the meeting place for all the rest of the turkeys, those that end up on the Thanksgiving platter!

  She is in office; it's contained to Alaska at this point.

  At the end of the video it's said she was asked if that would be a problem for the background and she said no. Before that, I was feeling bad that no one was watching out for her.

  What do you think of this-obese win right to 2 airline seats for price of 1

  see this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27827328/.

  obese have right to two airline seats, one faresupreme court of canada rules for those functionally disabled by obesitywhat do you think?

  just from a purely selfish standpoint, i would be grateful if the 500 pound passenger next to me were able to occupy 2 seats, rather than being wedged into 1 (and spilling over the sides)..

  Yeah, those big, fat, stinky folks; it's a wonder I had any friends.

  I used to try so hard to stay out of peoples way, always afraid I was taking up more space than I deserved.

  Being large isn't always completely under your control. I have friends whose entire family is big, they're all built alike. You could tell they were siblings just by looking. They work hard, work out, watch what they eat, but the weight is hard to budge. I'm sure that with enough work, they could change at least a bit.

  How about a row or two of larger seats. If they weren't used by the fat folks, it would be a bonus for the skinny ones.

  Thank you JWD

  i wanted to take my 1,000th post here at jwd to thank simon for managing this forum for the past several years.

  it helped me greatly during my exit, beginning about 3 years ago.

  without a place like this to vent, collaborate, and question, i may have never been swayed to leave the jw's.

  Anything I get will be appreciated. If you still need suggestions: mittens, dark chocolate, an ornament, something representing your corner of the world, something hand made. I've never been disappointed with a JWD gift.
