the first time that i met simon, he was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "apostate".
it was all spelt out in evil-type letters, in fact it looked suitably demonic.. when i encountered him at another 'fest, his t-shirt slogan simply read: "no!
i will not fix your computer!"..

for the 11th summer, or since 1994, florida state university in tallahassee has presented a holocaust institute for educators.
and each year the public is invited to two lectures.
i was privileged to attend the first one tonight for this year.
When I was an egotistical punk of a jw, I started "witnessing" to this attractive older woman about god and his love for people. Her face dropped into this mask of horrific memory. "God? You talk about god and his love?? I lost 75 of my family to the nazis. I am the only one left. No mother, father, sisters, brothers cousins....Why was I spared? There is no god!!"
I've never forgotten
another week's flown by and another weekend upon us already!
this past week we've been 'pleased' to meet up with some dubs on the board.
i hope they've felt welcome!
Encouragement?
Yeah the elders encouraged me heaps!!
They encouraged me to leave. Haha
as i lay in my pod yesterday i began to think of the following.
in many religions-christianity, hinduism, and buddhism, as well as greek philosophy-attempts are made to mortify the body, to respond as little as often to it's carnal needs and what-not.
this is possible to be prepared for a new existence as just a disembodied soul, in some heavenly spirit realm or what-not.. .

i have noticed from reading over this site and from having contact with former witnesses in my personal life, that a lot of time is consumed in the beginning of your exit from the witnesses, with finding further reasons to hate or dislike the jehovah's witnesses.
with this i was wondering, is this done to give yourself more reason not to return or is it an expression of your freedom to find out what you want without borders.
from a pure psychological stand-point, i am prone to wonder if it is a means of feeding an inner anger to bring one a faults sense of security, when they are challenged from within to decide if what they are really dealing with is correct thinking or a path that is truly wrong.
Your comments didn't resonate with me at all.
When I stopped attending, I moved very quickly forward. I never held back from telling others I had been a jw. When disasters happened, jws didn't even come to mind, sorry. Sep the 11th I just felt sorry for the people who were killed and injured.
I have formed new beliefs that I'm sure will continue to expand. Finding this site has given me a good laugh mostly, as all have had the same experience no matter where on the planet. I find that fascinating, a common language if you like. There's a positive from homogenised religion!

Another I forgot about is Maurice Gibb from the Bee Gees. Got it as a teen in the 70's. Haha haha stayin' alive(actually he's dead!)
like many people in his town in the southern mexico highlands, gerardo carrillo looks forward to harvest time in august.
that's when he can pick greenish caterpillars off the trees and boil them with a little lime.
as mexico's centuries-old tradition of eating bugs becomes more lucrative maguey worms and ant eggs are showing up as exotic fare at expensive restaurants researchers are trying to convince poor villages to cash in on these pests as a means of income.
I've eaten crickets and silkworms in Thailand(and ants if I remember rightly).
Someone asked what silkworm tastes like? Just like what you imagine, silkworm!
...................and mother of a child abused at the hands of a jw, i found the whole michael jackson trial and support by his fans insulting and hurtful!.
who of us can be sure if he did abuse kids or not?
how can anyone say he is guilty or innocent (except a victim if there is one)?
What I got from Blisses comment was the pressure on the child victim seeing hundreds of fans protesting that the perpetrator is innocent. It must be incredibly hard for kids to face questioing let alone protesters.
Bless the little children.
getting ready to take some heat from the apostababes!
