How many of us posters ULC "ministers"?
by Glenmore ini found out recently that both valis and avishai are fellow universal life church people.
maybe we should form a tax-exempt corporation and legally-swindle money from the government like our alma mater (da borg) does?

I'm not sure why I do this ...
by Glenmore inafter about 18 months "out" (2000) i got myself a minister's license from the universal life church and registered with the local county (clackamas) so i can perform weddings.
originally it was because one of the gals at work was getting married and the fellow she had lined up to officiate backed out.
i thought (at the time) it would be deliciously naughty to "belong" to another "religion" and use my jw training to give a talk - it's kind of like a demo at a service mtg.

Do you remember .....
by Glenmore in... when you first went to randy's free minds site?
i got there in the spring of 1999. i was in nyc on business and had dinner with a bethelite friend, i asked him who was the society having trouble with from an apostasy standpoint and he said "randy watters at bethel ministries".
so when i got back to oregon i looked him up on the 'net and found free minds.

What have you replaced the Sunday meetings with?
by Glenmore ini have got into the habit of checking this forum and then going out on the deck (which we call the church of flow, it's a perch about 30' up) and playing my guitar for an hour or so - particularly on nice days like today.
then i come back in, look a bit of tv, eat, read and stuff like that.
i consider my sunday's sacred, i won't go anywhere unless i have to.

G'mo's Poll#2 - "What will make the "faithful" really think?"
by Glenmore inodrade - from the model jw family - has a brother who is a "lifer", a bright fellow as i recall.
it makes me wonder what would really make someone truly think, to step away from the cult and take a good hard look.
for the most part any form of "apostasy" would be shied away from, so hoping someone would listen to logic, archealogical evidence, common sense etc just wouldn't work.

G'Mo's Poll#1-Are xjws more likely to have been "devout" than current jws?
by Glenmore inmy theory is that a lot of us were really into the culture.
in our hey day jill (my wife) and i had two keys to the kh.
she pioneered, i was an ms and aux pio'd.
