i just saw my first watchtower magazine in about 15 years...it was tucked under my doormat.
all i can say is wow!
i was shocked at how small and flimsy it was.

for those of you who live in truly first world countries (uk, australia, canada, etc etc) you can skip this.
for those of us stuck in the usa, not a first world country at all, please feel free to read on.. i've done my best to be fiscally responsible my whole life.
i bought my first house at age 25. and because of having a little loot to protect and not wanting to end up in some overcrowded emergency room waiting hours to be seen by doogie howser, i purchased health insurance.
Lisa,
Not every healthcare facility takes Tricare insurance and if somebody has Tricare insurance and wants to see a doctor that does not participate in that insurance that doctor cannot see that patient and charge him an office visit fee.

i was curious if anyone knew how to listen to talks like sinutkos stay alive to 75, or fred franz talk about how there was no 1st century gb.. i can listen to them on youtube but they are on obviously apostate youtube channels.
i would like for my wife to hear them but cant do that on apostate youtube channels.. does anyone know if these talks are available in an online archive somewhere else?.

so a bank that freely violates the law, commits massive fraud, launders drug money and lies to investors is too moral to take money from porn stars.
one of the things i realized as an ex-jw is that masses of people are deceived and distracted by sexual mischief/sins while ignoring vastly more harmful wrongdoing in general society.
Metatron:
Clinton's actions by signing Don't Ask Don't Tell and DOMA ruin quite a few gay people's lives. However I agree with you on the banks hypocrisy.

just to share a little about me:.
i was recently appointed an elder, about 6 months ago now, and that is exactly two years after my awakenning, but funny that the appointment came also about 2 years after i had completely lost all faith in god and had been leading a full time anti-jw life .
makes you wonder the role of the holy spirit in the entire nomination or appointment process.. .
HE,
You're a spineless coward!

when i worked for a book store i became familiar with beka text books for home school.. i spoke with the mothers who came looking for them.
i realized something didn't smell right.. then, i realized there are a couple of generations of fundamentalist kids who have had no exposure.
to the scientific method, science facts or any conversancy with physics or biology or history as a result of beka textbooks.. in a nutshell here is the situation:.
DesirousOfChange,
I went to a private liberal arts college in my early 20s and I met several students who were home schooled and they did quite well. One of them today is a pediatrician. I have a cousin who was home schooled and is an RN. I have an aunt who was valedictorian of her class and she became a teacher and when she had kids when she found out that all the kindergardeners would do was play she taught them the first several years of school before sending them to public school and resuming her teaching. The educational system here in the states is a bunch of shit and if I had kids I would never educate them in the publish school system.
