False equivalence. You can't drop being gay. You can drop religious beliefs if you want to. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they're gay would be wrong. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they believe that they have a duty to kill infidels in the plane... well... that's just common sense!!
There is a site called The Religion of Peace, which is sort of like a "jwfacts" for Islam... Essentially what they advocate is the same solution that would combat JW's: KNOWLEDGE! Spread knowledge of Islam and how bad it really is, so that hopefully less and less people join it!

Movies I'm Watching
by ILoveTTATT2 ini have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.
then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.
here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!

Finished "No Country for Old Men" and "Precious".
Found "Precious" to be the most painful to watch movie I have ever experienced. Wow. Cried so much...
The depths of despair!! -

Can Islam be reformed though?
Could it, for example, be accepted eventually that only the Quran, and only the NICE parts of it, need to be followed?
How did Judaism - the non- orthodox kind - become one of the most progressive and open of religions, considering their holy text is so violent?

I concur with wizzstick... don't dissasociate. You've hit the jackpot by being allowed to fade and not be DF'd and still keep your wife.
Please do read Steven Hassan's books, such as Releasing the Bonds and Combatting Cult Mind Control BEFORE you try anything with your wife!! Trying to wake up someone is very, very tough, and there are a million wrong ways of doing it!
I can only imagine the pain you must feel of all those wasted years. We all feel this. Even those who woke up "young"... I think everyone who wakes up wishes they had done so earlier.
Can I share your story on a Spanish exJW website? -

I got a non-response response from the KoP:
"Regarding J. F. Rutherford, the records I have regarding past members of Golden Gate #91 (Boonville, MO) only go back to the 1950's - those that go further back are currently in a storage facility in west-central Missouri and I do not have immediate access to them. I will be at that facility in mid-April and will have your request with me - should I find that there was a member named Joseph Franklin Rutherford during that period, I will inform you as to what I found. Sorry I cannot be of more help, thank you."
We will have to wait until April for that then. I am still waiting for the Boonville Advertiser newspaper clippings I ordered. -

Just finished Brokeback Mountain. I would have never watched it as a JW, and even if I had watched it as a JW, I would have had vastly different reactions to it.
As a JW, I would have probably stopped the movie half-way.
As an exJW, liberal, atheist, I see the story for what it is: a very sad love story in which two people who love each other can't be together, mainly because of the society in which they live in.
I saw a 2006 movie, so next up is "No Country for Old Men" -

Hi Sanchy,
It's a bit of a complicated answer.
Watchtowers and Awakes I have access to them 100% past 1960. Before 1960 it's hit and miss, but soon will have all up to 1950 (people are scanning them).
Books, pretty much anything except for a facsimile of the only Studies in The Scriptures in Spanish which was The Divine Plan of the Ages, which I can find but only the text. The few copies available sell for around $500 US.
It would be nice to get pre-1950 Awakes and Watchtowers in Spanish, but I can't find them anywhere online, not even for sale. -
