They put those little fishies on their cars too... much to my discredit, whenever I see one on a car I kind of snear inwardly. Funny how if I see a car-fishy I immediately think 'grrr, it's a Christian', but if I see someone wearing a cross - I usually just assume it a fashion choice.

Steven Unthank: What do we really know?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'm gonna play the skeptic today on a topic that is painful for a lot of people on this forum.
my intent is not to stir anything up but to make sure facts are confirmed.
bear in mind, i'm sickened by the wt's role (and the heirarchy down to elders) in child molestation cover-ups.

I wonder how many of the writing committee at the WBTS have letters after their name? What about the legal team?

Well played jworld!
I wish I'd said more as you did when I had the opportunity. My father once asked me if I thought he'd been moral, what kind of question is that!? All I could manage was "I think you're religion has coloured your judgement, and led you to make some bad decisions". I too, thought that, that had upset him - didn't change anything though! Too late now though.

A Born ins challenge to develop a "post cult" personality.
by stuckinamovement ina born ins challenge to develop a post cult personality.. mentally leaving the organization can be traumatic for a number of reasons.
one of the biggest challenges for born-ins in finding their pre cult personality is that our entire personalities are based on the religion.
there is no such thing as a pre cult personality for us.

There's hope Siam! Honest!
Sure for a long time after the borg, I settled comfortably on being a bitter and twisted antireligious militant atheist, blaming my dub upbringing for all manner of ills (some justified I think) and being bitter at my family still 'inside' . It seems odd to me now, but I filled that void in life by being as 'antidub' as possible. Safe to say this made me miserable :o(
Soon after I took up a hobby and a sport... the friends and experiences I've had through this have enriched and moulded my little world. I'm now almost normal! I suppose my personality has been formed along the way.
You will always have hangups - I'm sure we all do. For example, I can get emotional even now at Christmas when I see my two little monkey's excited faces and I wonder, what Christmas would be like as a kid, you just can't get that magic back (IMHO)
Posting in here is great too! Or not... I'm more of a reader than poster, but I think it all helps!
