so, i did a thing today.
i officially launched a podcast called "this jw life".
people keep saying that i should write a book, but i don't even read books, unless in audio format.
So happy for the feedback from some that listened. I'm no audio engineer but did my best with a headset mic, laptop, and Audacity, a free recording software.
I'm also a person that feels weird about being seen, whether literally or in this case just putting myself out there, but I've been pushing my own boundaries since leaving the Borg.

@WGO - I love podcasts too. I hope iTunes approves me soon so that I people can subscribe. You can download from my site. I think they can subscribe somehow now through Libsyn, or there might be an RSS feed on my site there for them, but iTunes is more universal and I know that a lot of podcatchers pull from iTunes. I'll update here on the forum when I release new episodes, and when iTunes approves me.
we were just musing that jws act in a "flirtatious" manner with people in the community.. they show such "sincere" interest in people when they call.
they seem like such kind, caring and thoughtful people - really interested in their lives and welfare.. people are often quite impressed with the jws manner, and their well dressed presentation.
people (especially vulnerable ones who are going through difficult pressures in life), are drawn in and made to feel special by the witnesses as they call back.. return visits take place.
Wow, I never thought of it in this particular terminology, but flirting is completely appropriate for what they do. Interesting concept.

Lol @ Nathan Natas! Where should I turn my slip in? Maybe go to the local Kingdom Hall? It could be kind of awesome to come up with my own apostate slip and walk into the hall where I disassociated and turn it in.

Thanks man. I hope to put out one a week. I'm just going to put out as many as it takes, as quickly as I can.

....................then you couldn't have been "in the truth" nor was "the truth in you" until july 2013, because that month's watchtower was dedicated to reversing the following 8 "truths" and replacing them with opposing "truths".
you'd been believing and teaching falsehoods.. these are for any new members and those j.w.
's who visit here who have not seen this list before.
Wasn't it Jesus that said you will know the truth, and the truth shall change, or something like that?
i wanted to take a moment to give a quick baby update.
my last post mentioned that we lost twin b at 17 weeks but twin a is doing well so far.
we are 25 weeks tomorrow and a week past the point of viability so we are starting to get really exited for this new adventure in our lives.
Just wanted to say that I'm really cheering for you all and happy that the current news is good. I hope to see baby pics on here someday. That would be so cool.
i was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??
?.
I have told our story to friends and clients and they are interested, but likely only because they know us. I think our stories have the biggest impact in helping doubters leave and those who are out feel less alone.
Friends keep saying that I should write a book. So soon I will be launching a podcast about my life, and hopefully it helps those who are out and those who are interested out there. It was podcasts and audio books that helped save me, and that's how I consume media, so hopefully I can reach new people.
one of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.
those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.
i cannot shake that feeling either.
There's the natural thing of that just being such a formative relationship, of course. But I also think that since we grew up in a performance based cult the approval of others, including parents, is ramped up tenfold in importance.
