I'd be interested in helping with the education part of it, if there's someone in my area with access to recent disfellowshippings.

on a few threads now we have had the discussion of how to take out a local kh.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/90925/1.ashx.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/90940/1.ashx.
the consensus seemed to be that it would require a two pronged approach.. 1. help the newly df, da through loving support and association so they don't go back.. 2. help the new bible studies and return visits with a good inocculation from the "jw are god's org" disease.. let's not talk about how to do that just yet.

does anyone have any suggetions for me?

Read 'The Demon Haunted World' by Carl Sagon. Doing research into the origins of the Bible helps too. Also read 'Who Wrote the Bible?' by Richard Friedman. It's all a bunch of shit.

Back then it was this huge spiritually taxing hurdle, and more of a mystifying experience. Now it feels like a natural part of being a human. It's different all the time, too.

i remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .
even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.
then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .
I think they're pretty funny really. Kinda feel embarrassed for them in a way.

I'm just playing. I guess it is kinda special in a way. I definitely view sex differently now than I did then.

I'm still friends with her. I kinda try to look out for all the girls that I've swiped the virginity from.

how's the transition going in your life from faithful jw to ex?
for me, it's pretty good.
no one has called me and that's good.
JH, I can't believe you have over 6000 posts on here and are still thinking of re-activating yourself. What in the fu..?

just watched this agai i love the message of get busy living or get busy dying spoken by morgan freeman at the end -reminds me of my attitude since leaving (emotionally anyway) the wtbts
It's the best.

my cousin witness has replied to my email asking how things were going and that i haven?t heard from him in awhile.
after responding that he was doing ok he asked if what he had heard through the grapevine was true.
is it true that you wrote a letter to the local congregation denouncing your faith??.
I say hope for the best but expect the worst. I don't ever expect to hear from my old dub friends. Their loss. I don't really want to have much to do with people who can't think for themselves anyways. You'll forget about your buddy soon enough.
