The Statlers are hard to beat when it comes to gospel, How Great Thou Art, Old Rugged Cross, etc. I agree, good music is good music.

Well, the nimrod that handled my dad's last August stuck to the script and it was nothing but a plug (or a butt plug however you want to look at it) for the WBTS, he even kindly offered to have a study with anyone interested at the end of his speech. Luckily for him dad was cremated or I would have pitched his worthless carcas into the hole when he was done.
On a happy note, my cheapskate mother accepted the grave marker from the government as dad was a vet, but what she didn't count on was the soldier who showed up to present her with a folded United States flag. All the JW's present looked on in horror after brother Nimrod was done and this soldier steps up and gives this speech about what a good soldier dad was etc. and goes to hand the flag to mom who just sits there jaw hanging open, so I stepped up and took the flag. It saved the day for me, at least someone said something about who my father was.

did you escape BEFORE baptism?
by kid-A in.
i am of the "born into it but got out of it before baptism class"......listening to so many of the horror stories on this site, i often feel like we are the 'lucky ones'..... we realized at a very young age how wrong and absurd this belief system was and ran away before making the psychological investment of baptism while simultaneously avoided the disastrous consequences of getting df'd......are we the minority here???
just curious!

Got another one here. Born into it from day one but never took the plunge. Thankful everyday that I didn't, it has made family life so much better.

You Can't Get It Back
by Big Dog inthe higher education thread got me thinking about the thing i loathe, despise, hate with the intensity of a thousand suns about the wbts, namely, the loss of my childhood.
i remember when engaging in blistering arguements with my parents about being able to play sports or take up an instrument or dream of being an astronaut, or whatever thing the society frowned on that i wasn't allowed to do at the end i would always get the same final reply, "when you are 18 and out of the house you can do whatever you want.
i can go back and play pop warner football, or little league baseball, or play in the school band, etc?

Joel, yours is another sad story to add to the list. I wonder if there is one person who was raised in dubland that has left that doesn't feel their childhood was jacked.

Excellent post Darth. I have done what I can to move on and not be a whiner and I have had a good life and filled in as much as I can. But try as I might I can't ever truly fill that hole that was my childhood, its like an old wound, healed yes, but there is a scar there. My life isn't screwed because of that, but the fact that it happened still sucks.
