  microphones were the last straw

  it wasn't the big stuff that made me decide i could never go back, it was one little thing.

  i have been thinking about my journey out of "the truth", and i think i can pin-point the last straw.. .

  i had been out for years, but always thinking that if i got my head together someday i would be good enough to go back.

  In the bigger picture, I know microphones are silly, and Freud would have some opinions about the whole thing.

  Hey! My microphone is very important to me!

  I for one, as a foreigner, see cheerleading as one of the hallmarks of American culture. And from what i see on tv, it isn't that suggestive.

  what do they end up doing with that freedom - dancing suggestively for the pleasure of men

  Well, I actually think dancing suggestively gives pleasure to the girls themselves too. And again, how suggestive could it be? And sex isn't bad, so suggesting isn't either me thinks. These girls aren't the couse of sexually repressed men being sexually frustrated and easily arroused, the suppresive culture is! Y'all need to loosen up and shake the remnants of sexual repressive doctrine!

  Welcome to the board oklaX, seems like you have some uncertain times ahead of you and I admire your bravery you're displaying by confronting it. Hope it works out for you, but thoroughly examine your options before proceeding. you're in a vulnerable position.

  Good luck!

  Damn, you Americans are so lucky! we don't have cheerleaders at all in Europe

  Until our society offers young people SAFE ways of socializing

  How about making condoms mandatory for everyone not married?

  the other day my wife and i were at a function and the naitonal anthem was sung.

  my wife wouldnt stand because the society tells her not to.

  i think this is disgusting.

  I never saluted the flag here either....well, in the boyscouts I did...but other than that it's just not practiced here anymore, at all; I think it has something to do with Hitler that made us Europeans abolish the saluting of the flag, though I don't know the exact story.

  LOL @ Satanus But hey you're right, in all of their superstitious and manipulative ways, they have dug their virtual grave.

  Manipulating the searchengine

  I do however remember that a couple of years ago only watchtower publications would show up when googeling for "jehovah" It appears to me they were working the searchengines to try and "indoctrinate the internet". I wouldn't be surprised if some of those witnesses involved in manipulating the searchengines thought it would give the org a formidable weapon to use against apostates and for getting new converts.

  However, as the searchengines improved the "false" hits were increasingly filtered out and more and more apostate sites starting to pop up in the hits. Looks like the watchtower, with this publication, officially acknowledge their defeat on the internet and have given up on it. I think this is "New Light" the GB would rather not see, it, however, is the truth.
