What does your Avi mean to you and why have you chosen it?

  I chose my Avi because the situation that I went through as an elder which led me to battle against the gb and a host of other wt officials, and which eventually led to my name being announced as "disassociated", even though I never disassociated myself and was never disfellowshipped, is the same type of situation that the character ' Worf ' from Star Trek TNG went through in an episode entitled " Sins of the Fathers". This was actually a 4 part episode, but in that first one, he was shunned by his entire race by "Discommadation". Klingon law also required his family to shun him. There are many more details in this 4 part episode which reflect the jw experience for those of us who think for ourselves.

  I showed this 4 part episode to a friend of mine who never was a jw but who knows the details of what happened to me and she saw the connections without me saying a word. I really wish that all of us who have been shunned could see this 4 part episode. If you already have Star Trek TNG on tape or DVD, you might want to rewatch these particular episodes: Sins of the Fathers, Reunion, Redemption 1 and Redemption 2. Just a suggestion.

  Interesting how art reflects life.

  I chose mine to convey "warm fuzzies". It means "I love the Organziation."

  As for me I decided to burn the ships and never return to the WT. My picture is an awesome brooding rendition of Immanuel Kant. Kant defined the Enlightenment, in more ways than one. Sapere Aude, "Dare to Know".

  I take mine with lots of cream. I don't like sweet coffee but the creamer gives it a tad "sweet" and calms the "bitterness" down better. In fact, my sister once asked (while I was putting my creamer in)..."would you like coffee with your creamer?"...smart @ss...

  Me in Boba Fett's armor. Why? Because Fett is the baddest of the bad and I look damned sexy in it...
