BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS- I know what you mean. I too was one of those JW's that was an independent thinker. The elders, even my own JW wife at the time told me I was " weak " or " unspiritual ". They have labels for everything. Most of my JW family all know where I stand now. In the 8 years I have been away I've had some pretty strongly charged interactions with my JW relatives. I think most of them deep down respect me, but a good number of them are scared of me because of the knowledge I have about the WT society. They'd just as soon stick their head in the sand and plug their ears up so as not to hear anything I say. LOL ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
