Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave
by Londo111 ini just finished reading this and enjoyed it.
however, if i was newly awakening or on the verge of awakening, i dont think this book would have helped me a great deal.
brother schnell has some good thoughts, however, he is short on detail and description, and even shorter on proof and documentation.. it is interesting reading about the transition of the bible students from a small group of independent noncomformists into an organization characterized by total conformity.

The only time I heard of the book was in the late 70's. I was out in field service and the householder brought out this book and ask me what I thought of it. I looked at the title of the book and told the householder the person must not of been very smart if it took him 30 years to figure he did not want to be a JW. Then I told him every religion has people who are not happy in what they are in. This was at a time I was a total robot of the JW cult and I was very happy with my answer. If I only knew back then. Things would have been diffrent. I would think the person who wrote the book has died by now if not he is very old. That's all I know. Still Totally ADD

WT rules. Don't touch, don't look, don't feel anything, no touching yourselve after a date, no kissing, no tight clothing, no short clothing on low cut clothing, no talking about how much you love each other only talk about WT stuff, no dreamy eyes just keep your eyes to yourself, make sure you are never alone with your date, remember God does not trust you even though he invented sex he does not want you to have it until you paid the high price of marriage at a young age, again don't touch yourself God invented those hands for other things, and never and I mean never think about sex even though God invented it because he will kill you because you are made to procreate, also and follow this very closely there are a group of old men who wear out of style suits telling you they know what is best for you and you better listen to them or they will ruin your life forever with guilt. I am sure there is more but thats all I can think of for now. Still Totally ADD

Thank you all for your kind comments. Both Reopened Mind and me are for the most part very happy. As far as our kids go, they are grown adults and they will have to come to terms themself on what they are doing. We can only hope they will wake up someday and say "you know mom & dad was right about this cult." Time will only tell. Vegtables garden, chickens and wild herbs canning and art is what we center our life on and education on these subjects. The next big thing I am deep into is Aqua Ponics. Using fish and worms to feed your plants. We live a very simple life and only the best to everyone. I also hope to meet some of you one of these days. Jamie you will be our first. We was in your neck of the woods just 2 weeks ago but we could not stop and say hi. We are after all only 2 1/2 hours from you. We will see what we can do about that. I do find one 20mg. pill a day and coffee keeps me under control everyday. It has turn my life around. See you later everyone. Still Totally ADD

It's been 6 months now since my old computer died. A good friend of our's had a spare computer her husband never used so she asked me if I would like to have it. Of course I said yes. After cleaning it up inside and out I found out I could not remember my password and the e-mail I gave them I no longer use. So I register with a new name, password and e-mail. And here I am. Since I was last on this board we have gone through one of the worse winters this area has had since 1977. So far over 90 inches of snow and a couple doz. days below zero. Can't wait until spring to start my garden. I have come to know my new found relatives in ILL. better and I am now a Penn State Master Gardener. I have given serveral classes on gardening in this area. Two weeks ago I gave a talk on being raised in the JW cult and how harmful these so called benign religions are. I gave that talk at the UU congregation we are with. I created a beautiful art piece that hangs on the wall at our church right behind the speaker podium for the whole congregation to see. Our old cat 2 socks finally died. She was 3 months away from being 25 years old. Both Reopened Mind and I are doing well and looking forward to this spring. At the end of March we will be married for 40 years and in May we will both be giving classes at our home on vegtable gardening and wild herbs that grow in our yard. My wife as become a herbalist and is writing a book on it for our area. She has also become quite a artist in her press flowers. Our children still will not talk to us but we have come to terms with it and hope someday they will come to their senses. Also my mother this last week fell and broke her hip. She is close to 91 and her mind is almost gone. So many things have happen in our life many good things and some bad things. This is what life is really all about. I have learned in these last few years that life it short and in that short time I have left I will try my best to leave this world a better place than I found it. I am so happy to be back on this board again and I hope this letter finds you all well. Still Totally ADD
