What is truth?

by Heisenberg in

friends

well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

Well dog gone, I logged on!!!!!

now what????

..

I don't know if you are a new member of the forum, or are having a new screen name because of the 'Reformation'.

JUST KIDDING SIMON! ahahaha

It's not a reformation - the forum owner just switched over to the new forum / format into which he has been putting a lot of work (and a nod to all others, esp. Angh and the rest of the family). So, if you are new, that is why you may be puzzled by some of the comments. It is still in the tweaking process. In that case, Welcome!

If you are 'old' (okay, JUST KIDDING again) ........ Welcome!

Put your feet up, set a spell, and read / join in the conversations / debates. This is a positive place, and gets heated at times, but no flame wars like you see in other places.

You can learn a lot about many things JW and nonJW, get to know other folks' stories and come to know that you are not alone (that is a great feeling). There are lots of theoretical and scientific discussions, and jokes and fun, too.

Be internet savvy, and share less that you are inclined to share, be cautious. If you have problems, contact Simon or a moderator.

and, if you are 'old' , then hey, glad you made it! :D

Hope this was helpful for any lurkers or new members.

My New Look

by Awake at last in

jw
friends

hi guys.

since the website has a new look, i thought why not me too.. i have a new perspective on my beliefs and now my looks.. tell me what you think.

i am not the gb so you can say what you really think, ok!!

talesin

Awake at last. There's a pic on here somewhere of me in my plaid mini skirt and tights, and yes, 50+. You are absolutely right - enjoy your individuality, and dress as you please. If anyone tries to damper your fun, they are J-E-A-L-O-U-S.

This New Site

by smiddy in

i was a bit bamboozled at first , and now slowly getting the hang of it , the new tools we can use to navigate through it.. change is always hard for us old farts .. smiddy.

talesin

Me, too. I don't mind change so much, but it is harder to catch on. Dunno if it's because health considerations have muddled my brain or early dementia. :smirk_cat:
