    That poem is just simply cringemaking Loosie. Thanks for posting it. It reminded me about how glad I am that I'm not a witness anymore.

    I was given a photocopy of that piece of dreck about twenty years ago. It's been around at least that long. I wonder why people keep copying it and passing it on; it's very poorly written.

    Gawd, please don't send that drivel to our PO!

    I'm sure he'd quote from it in his next 15 talks. He has already expressed his (so far) private opinion that our congregation is "a bunch of whiners"!

    Am I An Active Apostate?Am I an active apostate,
    The kind that would be missed?
    Or am I just content
    To have my name upon JWD's list?
    Do I love my family?
    Or am I simply cruel?
    Do I teach them to think for themselves
    Or swallow the Bullshit gruel?

    Since I don't attend the meetings,
    Or mingle with the fold?
    Or sit alone, and then complain
    The friends are 'really cold.'
    I always take a part in finding truth,
    And am skeptical of the glossy slick?
    Mags we used to sell,
    And other 'Theocratic' tricks.

    When it was time to leave the hall,
    Did I leave with fervent zeal?
    Or slough it off, don't really try,
    Thinking it still might be 'real'?
    Do I contribute to apostate work?
    Telling everyone I dare,
    That the cost of living in a cult,
    Will ruin your life out there?

    And do I take an active role
    And have an apostate day?
    Doing what those alive should do,
    When I live, and love, and play?
    If every former witness were like me,
    Would all their hearts be filled?
    If EVERY former witness were like me,
    Wouldn't we all be thrilled?

    When the end of the Kingdom comes,
    And Jw' fantasyland is smote, Will you be there with a placard, Glad you left the boat? Or will you still be hiding in the shadows of this group, That pretends to know the living God But spreads only poop? Let's think this over carefully,
    Each and everyone!
    If EVERY x-witness were like me,
    Would the work get done?
    Would every living soul on earth be told the truth about the truth?
    And manifold will leave? Or will you just let it go, And brush it off your sleave? Keep up the work and do not tire, Do it anyway you can. Preach the 'truth', expose the liars, In Watchtower land.

    Loosie, ask whoever sent you that insane poem, if they counted it as a bible study on their field service report.
