  well, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".

  one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.

  it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

  I do not have answer for you but i think that be would uncharacteristic of him.

  I purchased both books via Commentary Press about 12 or 15 years ago.

  Not signed, but I value them immensely.

  I agree. I had the exact thoughts and feelings during this segment.

  Her request was really pretty simple. Started at a local level decades ago. No one would listen or take action.

  They still did not.

  And it was cleanly captured on camera.

  JWs will say that she was overly dramatic in trying to contact the GB directly. But, really, what were her options? And why would most non-JWs both see her as sympathetic and the gate guard and cold and indifferent?

  What's wrong with this picture?
  

  Hopefully these two simple observations will tap a crack into many active JWs.

  And oh! That running vehicle inside the gate on the hill at the end...? It only reminded me of Scientology tactics captured on Leah Remini's 'Aftermath' series. Which just opens up a whole other can of worms with a mental connection between JW and Scientology.

  Subtle brilliance, from what I saw.

  Life in Paradise

  so we all survive the great tribulation and now as the dead bodies of 99.9% of the world's population begin to stink up the place, the bodies become bloated and the flesh begins to fall off of the bones what happens when the elders tell us to grab a shovel and haul the corpses to a mass grave site for burial or perhaps a mass cremation and you tell them that you will not bury dead bodies.. what will the elders do?

  (i guess they are princes now since we are on the other side of the gt) will they haul the person into the back room of the candlelit kingdumb haul for a judicial meeting?

  if the person is unrepentant and doesn't follow direction from god will they be disfellowshipped or forced to move to a colony for troublemakers?

  You may enjoy an article that was written a while ago. I do not know the name of the author but the narrative is pretty easy to follow if you were raised a JW:

  And here is thread started by our dear crumpet about this article and discussion by some favorite old-timers here:

  Maybe something positive having more to do with your own personal growth and determination (as opposed to negative energy aimed at a particular organization riddled with controversy). This growth can represent broad growth and embracing of a wide range of interests and involvement rather than limited to an obscure belief system.
  

  Positive energy, Law of Attraction type of thing?

  A phoenix rising? A flower blooming? Chrysallis??
  

  Maybe mark it with the date of your official decision to end affiliation and take charge of your own life.

  Maybe try Google Images for "personal growth tattoo ideas".

  I dated a man who had a tatt of those lips on his left butt cheek. He and a few of his friends all got it done when they graduated from law school.
