My sister is scared to death to speak against the Dubs.

by Pepper in

i talked with my sister today we like to talk as some familys do, and i could hear the quivering in her voice at the very idea that the j-dubs could have a few crazy ideas.

its so sad when you see the control a religion has over people, to the point that they will not even ask who, what, when, or why.

when you're forced to confront the fact that the system of belief upon which you've based your entire life is unsound, it's a scary thing. ((pepper)) i hope your sister comes to appreciate the truth about the "truth".

so i have big problems with our school's online learning software..it basically sucks real bad and this semester has been terrible.

all my docs for my class disappeared when they "upgraded the system...it is a mess.

we couldn't even access it until the very first day of class, which coincided with the sobig virus calamity..very irritating and hard for me to get any continuity going on.

mole, i'm from sacramento, but for obvious reasons i'm not about to just meet someone from this board in person right off the bat. i'm naturally a little guarded here, as i believe most people are, with my personal information. it's not a personal slight against you, just exercising caution for safety's sake.

.

everyone talks about how many jw's there are but does anyone know how many x jw"s there are in the world?

tinkerbell82

i'm not sure about how many ex-jw's there are... but here is a link to all sorts of interesting statistics about jw's...check it out, it's pretty cool...includes statistics about how many hours it takes to convert your average bible study, etc... :P

Did you really believe?

by barbar in

i am interested to know whether jw's or ex jw's on this board really did believe 100%.

did you have doubts all of the time, did you have some confusion or did you never doubt at all?

i recognise that most on this board will have had doubts at the end but was this always the case when you were a good dub?

tinkerbell82

welcome to the board, not tellin :)

Which songs do you members over 40...and then members under 40

by berylblue in

which songs do all of you over 40 feel are must-listens for those of every age?

conversely, i really would like to know what the younger ones here think are the must -hear songs for every generation.

without my daughters in my life, i don't get to hear the better offerings of the new artists.

tinkerbell82

here's one song i wish every exiting dub would listen to...i relate to it for several reasons...

it's by aimee mann, and it's called 'wise up'

It's not what you thought
When you first began it
You got what you want
Now you can hardly stand it though

By now you know it's not
Going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

You're sure there's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think one drink
will shrink you 'til
you're underground and living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

No it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
Now it's not going to stop
So just give up
