I guess his "planting seeds" pissed me off because in my gut I knew the issue was big and I felt like he was just tip-toeing around it for so long by his "seed planting".
For the record ... I think I told all you jokers on this list that she wouldn't go for that crap ....

I have thought about the subtle approach that many on this site favor, but my wife will feel manipulated if I talk to her in that way.I told you she was way too smart for that.

Did you as a brother, do less to avoid responsibilities?
by truthseeker ini have no choice but to remain active in the "troof" - for family and friends.
one day i will leave, but that day has not yet come.. i am not happy about leading a "double life" but i really have no say - for the peace of the family and my own sanity i must maintain the status quo.
it's difficult coexisting - i go to some meetings, but i spend more time here learning about the society.

For the longest time I used my kids as an excuse. I needed to help my wife with the kids. The brothers that ran the sound or whatever would give me "that look" knowing that they are not going to even hint that I shouldn't help my wife with the kids, but that they really think I should be running a microphone or whatever.
Then, when the time came around to get reappointed as MS in my new hall, my book study conductor said, "Well, we notice you are getting 10 hrs per month, but 4 of those are for your family study. We would like to see more FIELD MINISTRY."
I smiled and said, "Well, that's all you're getting right now. I am stretched to the max as it is just trying to hold it all together."
That was a pivotal point in my attitude change. I had been on one of my "upswings" and was studying regularly with the family - and it STILL wasn't enough. I began to accept that whatever I did was never enough and began to look around the kingdom hall at all the burnt out people. I realized I did not want to be like them.

On a more specific JW level, I compiled a list of WT quotes based on Hassan's BITE model:

How Did Watching Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" Make You Feel?
by Ianone inalthough i am not a catholic i found this movie to be the most powerful and uplifting thing i have ever watched.
for those of you who watched it, how did it make you feel?

I found the movie to be a bit boring. We all know the plot, so without any twists or enhancements, it doesn't really liven anything up. With all those subtitles, I might as well of been reading my Bible. I definitely think that the movie bred hate against the Jewish community. I'm sure that the message was well intended, but it didn't deliver for me.
Leave it to a smart-ass high-schooler to offer the most mature review ... heh ... I love you man!

There was a guy about 6 months ago that everyone ripped on like we do with Defd, but then he did a complete 180 and apologized for the way he had acted and said he was through with the JWs. Does anyone remember who that was? I remember some people welcoming him with open arms and also apologizing for being a little harsh on him from time to time.
Who was that guy?
