    I've done everything but DA myself. I never thought I would take that step, but lately I'm considering it. One, to be true to myself, but also to set an example to all who used to know me. Maybe it will raise some doubt in someone's mind about the WTS. A doubt which someday might blossom into awareness.

    Eventually I'll become so disgusted that I'll have to go out in a blaze of glory. It would be interesting to sit down with a judicial tribunal, and challenge them with all the failed prophecies and goofy practices from the past, and record the entire process.

    The sad fact though, is that the WTS wields real power over peoples lives. Many JW's live in fear, and their minds dwell in oppression. While they may doubt, the Society has sufficiently insulated their minds from any possibility of a full departure from the "truth."

    Good use of Illustrations

    I love the Band-Aid, the investment and SpiderWeb examples. I have never really thought of leaving the borg like that. Like walking away from a 17 year old investment, something that I had put time, research, effort, money, sweat, blood and tears into. Something that I kept investing in because of the big payoff in the end.

    Thank you for that.
