    Well, I do. However, sometimes I have a tendency to say to much. One of these days I'm gonna get in trouble for it again... I just recently told my sil that the blood thing doesn't bother my conscience. I told another close friend that I was relieved my husband was no longer reaching out to be an MS because I didn't want to have to deal with the pressure all the time.

    I used to give apostate answers all the time that I thought would get me in a lot of trouble, but, nobody seems to listen AT ALL so I lost interest. I mean, what's the point if nobody ever listens?

    I just state how I feel when things come up and I think I can get away with it. Doesn't really seem to do much though. Except with my husband, who is mostly out now.

    So, do you say anything or keep it to yourself?

    I try to proactively innoculate those who were never involved. Regarding thos estill in I really don't get that opportunity often but capitalize when i do.

    Yes, I'm actively trying to awaken some JWs to think for themselves, rather than blindly following men. I believe, as Steve Hassan does, that people will choose the truth over the comfort of a lie, if they be reached with the truth.

    Yep, got 3 of my kids out and stopped the other 2 going in. Also working on other relatives.

    Those of you who have been successful- What works?? Especially with family?

    Ps- Cogac-

    Except with my husband, who is mostly out now

    Congratulations on that!! Raising a kid with one parent in and one out can create a bit of stress.

    Honestly, I really don't care.

    If someone is happy, or sad, for that matter, being a J.W., I say "whatever".

    yes....i just can not shut up...for awhile i was at it nonstop........ but now am more careful of what i say and when for those i care about.....one thing for sure is that if you are too bold or direct, you will scare them and they will quickly slam the door in your face (sound familiar?), but if you carefully find something that they do not like or that they do not agree with WT on, then they are already a bit like you......and then you can find another thing...then another.....then maybe they start to think and find them on their own..........oompa

    Yesterday, My friend came over that I gave CoC to, he has not read it yet, but said he would get started on it last night. We spent the afternoon looking at JWD, silentlambs, JWS, watchtowerdocuments.com, watched the NBC news coverage of pedophile problems in California and a few other things on YouTube.

    I talked to him about the changes in wording the WT made in the '89 mag to the bound volume.

    We discussed many things.

    I do wonder when people will be able to start new accounts at JWN, as I think he will be a nice addition to the board.


    There is no uncertainty in his mind now that I am apostate, not just someone that is disgruntled and has quit going to the meetings.
