  i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

  i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

  she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

  Behold the face of indoctrination! My moms guilt tripping letter to me.

  i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.

  i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.

  if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.

  Skills Gap

  the jws have now been discouraging higher education and critical thinking for a long time.

  we have all seen the 'dumbing down' of the wt literature.

  on a personal level i have seen many of the perceivably intelligent younger members of congregations leave.

  As a young mentally out fader (fade after college), one brother said: "You know they need [insert my profession here]s at bethel!" I replied: "They need ##### everywhere..." I hope it gets him to think.

  Yes, my mother wrote me a note similar to this lately. It really can be depressing if you allow it to be. Just "duke it out" and make efforts to discretely share seeds of doubt.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are "not even wrong" and here is why.

  a magician can demonstrate an empty hat from which, seconds later, he pulls a rabbit.

  a rabbit in that empty hat?

  in pre-enlightenment times, the easy answer was: magic was real--but--it was accomplished.

  CONGRATS ON MAKING IT OFFICIAL, DA will be a clean cut for you. There is pretty much very little worries about having to see elders ever again. However, fading has advantages for others in your contact. Either way, enjoy your freedom....and thanks for sharing the great news.
