I was surprised to see Chris in the bottom 3...not surprised to see Kelly still in the top 3(although I don't think she belongs there).. and happy to see Ace get voted off before any of the others.. I didn't like the way they put Taylor on the spot to pick the top 3....

Great post!!! My husband and I were just talking about this the other day..Kids are so spoiled today with all the technology..video games.,,dvds..computers..They don't have to make their own fun.. its all there!!! I remember long summer days as a kid passing away a summer day playing Monopoly..skipping rope(do kids even do that anymore) or even just walking to the store to get a bottle of pop was a treat.. My parents didn't buy pop often as it was a treat.. And you would drink it all.not waste a drop.. because it was a treat.. I feel sorry for our kids nowadays in many ways.. because they haven't really learned to make their own entertainment or enjoy the liitle things in life..

A New Voice
by apfergus ini haven't been involved with the jws in nearly five years now.
i was raised as a witness from the time i was seven until i was 17 and a junior in high school.
i don't have any particularly sad stories to tell, really, except that the process of leaving the organization--even though i was never baptised--was the hardest thing i've ever gone through.

Taylor was still my favorite.. as Simon says he was "magic" and I really thought he was great.. my husband thinks Chris should go all the way.. I think Chris has an amazing rocker voice and should have a great music career.. I just think Taylor has more personality and is fun to watch as well as talent.. I love Katherine's singing also. I am hoping Ace goes tonite.. Kelly probably should go but I think she will still get the votes....Now if only I could vote....

I agree with AuldSoul and Honesty..the book with its sidenotes should be shown to someone in authority.. maybe the local newspapers and a new program like Dateline would be interested to see how the society counsells their elders to handle problems like pedophilia..The only way that dangerous practises can be stopped is to be brought to public knowlege.

Hi mavie..I understand some of the problems your wife and you are going thru with the elders..My mother was diagnosed with cllinical depresion and also schizophrenia...the second illness being a whole different problem altogether..Some brothers and sisters discouraged her to take medication as they said it would let the demons into her mind so she didn't always take her meds as often as she should ..so she would get sicker.. IT finally got to the point where the elders had a meeting and decided they wanted to disfellowship her as she was bringing "reproach" on Jehovah' organization.. I had to plead her case to not DF her as her witness friends. (and she did have a few very caring witness friends) would not be able to talk to her.. So they didn't disfellowship her after all..but it made me wonder.. what organization with God's spirit would need me.. a mere publisher to change the minds of the elders.. I knew then that the organization was not under Jehovah's spirit as they claimed.. I D/A 'd from the JWS and have since learned of other lies they promote since finding this site..
