Hi Ashitaka,
It is Christian centered.
How was it for you guys?
Really, for me it changed my life. I had lost almost all of my family. I now feel most of those several hundred people I have met there, are family to me.
If you do not care for the religious part, just enjoy the fellowship with people who have been where you have been, and will show you unconditional love.

Thanks Valis,
An ex-jw recommended two books, "Who Wrote the Bible" and "Portrait of Jesus" I ordered both of them through Amazon. I was later told one was sent to the wrong place and would be sent to me when they got it back, something like a month ago. The other one, I was told, they no longer had.
I will try the one you posted.
Thanks again.

at the risk of being flamed, i'm sure i will, being new and all, but do you all realize what all this argumentation back and forth between ray is right and bill is right, etc., is doing?.
hq lurks here!
they're laughing at us in bethel!
Grace,
You have told me where to go many times, but, the time you told me to go to PA was the best advise you have given me, and, the best thing I could have done. We will be riding with Marv this year (known as Merv to you) he is bringing his Elvis outfit, he does impersonations of Elvis, sort of looks like him doesn't he?
See ya Thursday.

WOW Mouthy, I just checked this thread out and find you at the center of another controversy. And, everyone coming to your defence! Boy do you have them fooled.

i talked at length with ray franz this afternoon regarding the following comments by bill bowen: ray franz supports the wt policy on child abuse.
he is the author of the two eye witness rule as well as the slander issue that prevents anyone from warning another of child abuse in the congregation.
it is interesting that wt is willing to fight to the last man standing for a policy that in large part was founded by their biggest apostate.
Ray is precious to many of us here
I fit in that catagory. I personally know of several people who found out the truth about the WT from Ray, both in his books and personal conversations. I am one who received much help from Ray, in leaving the WT and starting a new life without the WT. I have said many times, I will always be very grateful to Ray and BRCI for so much help when I really needed it.
While I am glad Silentlambs is here, and active, I also know that not everyone has chosen to make that particular area, their life's work. Many, who became Christian, think their command is to preach the gospel, and, believe that must come first in their lives.
I do not mean to sound like I do not think Silentlambs is very important, just that not everyone makes that their most important work.

i wanted to hear the president's speech tonight, but can't stand listening to the man.
he has a prepared speech but he keeps saying nuc-you-lar instead of nuc-le-ar.
i can't stand it.. you would think his people would walk him through correct pronunciation.
I'll bet he knows what "is" is.
