i like the video. however, the wt never says apostasy is the unforgivable sin. i had a co tell me that apostates can get reinstated if they chose to and the wt mag has had experiences of some who left the borg due to disagreeing with teachings and came back. of course, they had to start agreeing with everything at that point. just a point, but a good video.

Deconstructing Apostasy - New Video
by Moxie inmy apologies for not posting this here sooner, but i've been swamped with a very big project... one that i will share with you in the not too distant future.. this is my most recent youtube video and addresses a subject i've identified as extremely important to many of us ex witnesses.. it's called deconstructing apostasy, and basically it examines apostasy according to watchtower... my hope is that the message will start to break down the barriers of what an apostate is and how the watchtower uses that term to effectively subjugate its members by silencing any conscientious questioners.. hopefully you'll be able to see it below, otherwise here's the link (it's best viewed on youtube in high definition) - deconstructing apostasy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3j5hkv2cnw.

What was the most profound spiritual moment of your life?
by cluless inmine was simply the realisation that if a person had faith they wouldnt need a religon.. infact not associating with any religouse association is a bit like being on the oceon in a rowing boat.
but the thing is i dont care if the oceon gets rough.
it doesnt matter not having the answers.

no, oompa is not an asshole. just really confused now. you have plenty of positves in your life now. do as purps says, make them your haven. if you constantly think about and bitch about what you don't have(and who here couldn't), you'll be miserable all the time. its up to you. if you need to talk, you know how to find me. just remember, i got to get up another damn talk tomorrow. don't tell tyrone van whoever, dont want to piss him off

oompa......otwo had some good advice for you. hope you'll listen. purps, too. you don't really want a divorce. if you did, you wouldn't need evreybody's permission, which it seems you need. at least our approval. if you really wanted a divorce, you'd just get one. you have a good wife who adores you and is willing to put up with you without any grief, no pressure to attend meetings, service, etc. she looks good and your kids love her. what the hell else do you want?
