Man you are so smart, I cannot imagine you ever being at Bethel with you smarts, how did they ever get you to stay in for so long?
Quotes you are so humble yet so logical my brother!

one of the most interesting thing that seems to happen to a loyal jw who comes onto a site like this is that by default they become hypocrites.. now for many of us we were at least willing to "concede" that we were hypocrites for being here, but then you go those "others" who just can't admit it about themselves>.
i thought this post by yoyo mama is very interesting as he resoundly dogs a person, yet this poster does the very thing that he condemns.
only a jw could do this and think everything is ok:.

when you left the jw's, did you remain a christian?
the reason i ask, is that when i left the witnesses i explored all kinds of concept and religions and even attended a few churches.
i soon found that i was attracted to new age and pagan believes.
No I am not a Cristian. I have no beliefs in any God nor do I believe it to be possible.

i've been thinking about all the recent incidents involving those in the wt and those who no longer associate with it...it seems to me that the bryants were subject to another form of self destructive behavior that the flock brings upon itself.
not accepting blood, shunning, no transplants, living/worshipping among pedophiles, isolating the young from education, disrespecting women and thinking less of them in the congo, etc...are all forms of abberant/self destructive ways of life.
ways of life that are not singular in thier effect, but have multiplicitous repercussions.

Brother Overbeer, this sums it all up! I too believe that I forsaw this mind control and exited before it was to late. I could never let anyone tell me what to do or say, it just dosen`t seem logical in my opinion.
FREEDOM BABY!!!

in high school, one friend of mine was offended by flowers for algernon because of the sex bits and refused to take it as part of the english curriculum.
he even gave an experience about it at a ca.
so those of us in the other english classes that year kinda had to refuse to do it too.
High School was my eye opener,I did it all when I was still forced to be in. I refused to be a JW!
Played Rugby
Drank
Smoked Drugs
