i have been collecting and reading ex-jw books these last few years.
i love 'em all, just out of pure solidarity.. i went to order the fourth edition updated version of crisis of consciense for my collection (best book ever!
) and when amazon.com listed the best sellers of jehovah's witness books, this is what came up (see below).. needless to say, it tickled me pink.... brock talon .

we decided we don't cook enough and are pretty bored of what we usually eat (whether home-made or eating out).. so .... our new years resolution for 2014 is to try a new recipe every week.. so far we've done some jamie olivers roasted vegetables and right now we're making cornish-like pasties.
apparently, people are very militant about exactly what a cornish pastie is so our's are cornish-like because dammit, we wanted peas and carrots and whatever seasoning we wanted to stick in there too!.
smells delicious and can't wait to eat them.. i also invented a new dish using a leftover half-tin of garden peas and a slice of bread.

he once had the hard rugged and handsome face of a hollywood film star.
he was one of those i feared completely indoctinated,enforcing his indoctrination with out love.
everything anybody did for the organisation was a privalige and all outside organisations were apart of the world, this included law inforcement.
It's almost like they are true masochists and enjoy the pain they create for themselves.
It's the reward for the persecution complex they so proudly wear.
It's a truly f'ed-up mind and thought process.
So glad I'm out of that damn cult.

i made two post that violate the posting guidelines and they need to be deleted.
if an admin would pm me i will direct them to the two post..
Generally the mods prefer that you provide them with links to the posts in question.
The current admins that I know of are: Simon, Angharad, Scully and jgnat.
I hope this helps.

does anyone know what going on with ajwrb's website?.
"this domain maybe for sale!
buy it now!
@steve2 - Are you referring to AJWRB or perhaps you are thinking of AAWA??
They are two completely (??) different organizations. AJWRB dealt with Blood reform. AAWA dealt with Advocates about Watchtower Abuse.
I never got a 'snot-nose' vibe from AJWRB, but it's also been years since I've been to that site.

it's just a silly door-knocking related picture, but it's generated a bit of arguing about how he shouldn't make fun of them.
plus there are some apologist/"apostate" facebook wars... the best kind of wars, right?!
Yikes! I just clicked the link and had to scroll down a little bit to find the photo. I thought it was funny.
THEN one comment was separate from the others. A friend of mine from old cong in the 1970's made a comment~!! I thought this person was fully out but from the comment, I'm not so sure now.
I still think the photo is cute.

i have never been a jw.
in fact, i've never set foot inside a kh.
my parents began studying in the early 70s, before i was born.
Ahh... *NOW* there is a reply box for me....

Jesse - First of all, Welcome to JWN. Really nice to have you join us. And even nicer to have such a nice intro. I think most of us understand where you are with this family situation. At least from the JW side. The other excentricities of your dad, we probably have lesser insight to that aspect.
Secondly, I am so very interested in the comment you made about your dad telling you that you and your children will die. (I forget your exact words.) I was captivated by that phrase because for the past 90 minutes I've been trying to find a way to respond to my inactive, but still believing former acquaintance from my old hall. She sent me a text in hopes that we could talk as her ex-husband has been telling her the same thing: She, their girls and the 2 grandchildren will die because she does not attend meetings. She is having tremendous anxiety over this. So your comment in your post was fascinating to me.
Welcome again. I look forward to hearing more of your story.
