The Bearded Apostate
plus lance looks kinda like a wimp without that beard!....way to go lance very nice, esp. for a first time spontaneous video...from the heart is good...........oompa
Great video! I'm sure it will be helpful to any who see it.
I've been out for awhile so forgot how they talk about the "privileges" their followers can receive from the WT, like the many hours of work they can donate for a few dollars a month plus room and board. The WT has a real gift for spin, don't they? Others would describe that as slave labor.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ms. F... interesting how my detractors only see what the WT gave me, yet they forget that I gave at least 35,000 hours of my life to that fruitless pursuit. At a mere $10/hour (I now make much more than that) I see the WT owing me a pretty penny:
Housing me and feeding me at Bethel 2.5 years in the 90's ($@$2.5k/year): $5000
4.5 Years special pioneering: (@$70/month) $3780
Gilead and Missionary Service: (Includes one way airfare) $6750
Total benefits received from the Society: $15530 (Exhibit A)
My Costs:
Slave labor: $350,000
My expenses in the field: (Conservative estimate, gas, mileage, plane tickets, etc) $ 20,000
Total Expenses: $370,000 (Exhibit B)
The Society owes me: (B - A) $354,470
This does NOT include all the cash contributions that I regret giving for 30 odd years (I was one of those kids who would give up some of my allowance to the collection plate)
So I don't see how I owe the Society anything...!

Cut the beard and we can start talking. Cut your beard and I'll break my sabbath. Lol!

Well, I have a bunch of subscribers and will probably have 300 views in the first day...

Well I'm not cutting the beard so looks like your celibacy will continue...
Homerovah: I agree about your points... however, having a beard makes it just that much easier for JWs to pass cursory judgment. However, this is all moot since Lance says the beard ain't going, and I hear that. It's a minor detail anyway.
I look forward to your vids. I hope that beyond preaching to your choir, you reach the JW's
out there that need to hear this. One of your early videos probably should have the words
"Jehovah" or "Watchtower" in it so they can find it in a search.
