I'm not really a risk taker any more, but I used to be.
For over 23 years, I carried a card in my purse that said "NO BLOOD". That's the biggest risk I ever took.
I won't be taking it again.

Are YOU a Risk Taker?
by Golf ini am, how about you or do you prefer your comfort zone?
being a risk taker doesn't mean you have to put your life literally on the line i.e., did you ever stand up to someone in authority and give them a piece of your mind?
what are some of the things you did that you considered risk-taking?

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes inin compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".
the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).
my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

I too regret the passing of Quotes. I have found it very helpful in my journey out of the wtbs, and am very thankful for it's existence. I look forward to reading the information on some of the mirror sites that are appearing.
The borg may have won the battle, but they're gonna lose the war

by mouthy ina while back some asked what are the marks?
i read this i thought it worth posting.
1)the first mark is manipulation of scripture the bible is twisted to fit the leaders or groups interpretation.

I know from my time in that the jws absolutely hate being described as a cult. They have written wt articles trying to prove they are not, and most of the time I was in I would not have accepted that I was in any way part of a cult, but there is no doubt in my mind now that I was, and an extremely dangerous one at that.
I suppose that is why the jws won't accept they are a cult, you have to be away from the wts to realise what it really is.

I love these Jehovah's Witnesses
by freedomlover inbefore any of you jump all over me about how i could love any jw's let me explain and just vent here.
some of you may have ready my hubby's post about us leaving the area.
work, and wanting to fade has made this necessary.

I know what you mean freedomlover. I had many friends in the congregation, and most of them shun me now. It made leaving so much harder, knowing that would be the outcome. The meetings and doctrines I don't miss at all, but I miss being with people who, over the years, I have grown to love. It makes me hate the vile organisation that conditioned them to behave in such a way towards me even more.

Can the beast be slain? Should it be?
by AuldSoul inon another thread i was responding to sentient and realized that what i was writing is what i truly feel so many who come out don't look at from a practical standpoint.
the individuals in the organization are not typically the biggest problem, it is the organization itself.
they call it an "organization" to hide its true face; it is a corporation.

Home from Circuit Assembly
by RichieRich inas some of you knew, my circuit assembly was this weekend (dec 24 and 25).
the theme was "clothe yourselves with the new personality".
i guess the society has to reinforce the idea of humility, because apparently, you can't mislead haughty people.. from the sound of the accounts report, people are voting with their wallets.. nothing particularly egregrious was said.. luckily my mother had a fever this morning, so we got to leave at lunch.

What a way to spend Christmas, listening to more recycled bullshit.
I am glad you didn't have to sit through it all Richie, and I hope your mum is ok soon

Governing Body Subhumans: Merry Christmas
by 144001 inhaving recently experienced the trauma of watching a loved one proudly refuse blood despite being told it was medically necessary and that refusing it would be extremely risky, i realized exactly where i stand in life.
in addition to my childhood being exploited and made miserable by the watchtower cult, that same cult now threatens to take loved ones from me via the blood policy.. .
so, on this day after christmas, i am raging mad, and i want to express my christmas wish for the governing body, the subhuman gristle responsible for this illogical and despicable blood policy.
