  okay, historically my mother has always called me and jim and our kids on all of our b-days - always, we've been married 14 years and she's never forgotten and neither have my siblings, until this year.

  this year she has decided that she can no longer continue her tradition, it isn't right.

  this year she has decided to get religious on us.

  i remember touring bethel when i was younger and when we breezed through the printing dept.

  i remember a brief speech given on how well written and well researched their articles were.

  a comment was thrown out on how even higher educated people appreciated their style, their excellence.

  How do I turn in my time now that I'm DF'd?

  just wondering, since i talk about the wtbts now more than ever(being disfellowshipped does me that way), do i submit negative hours since it's all "apostate in nature"?

  shouldn't i be able to figure in some sort of multiplier (1.3 or 1.4) since people are more willing to listen to negative talk about the borg...what do you think?

  one of my friends parents referred to us (my sweetie and i) as "new wave" apostates.

  has anyone else heard this term, been referred to as one?

  i was just wondering if this is a new attempt to squash critical thinking?

  Remember the Written Review

  what exactly was the purpose of the written review?

  it was extremely helpful that the society warned you on the calendars which night you had to skip... we had those boards that they passed out so you had a good writing surface, often covered with witness grafiti like, jesus or jehovah or something biblical.

  remember the little grading sheet on the back; excellent, very good, good -- was there a poor?

  recently my psychology professor (who has experience with deprogramming people from cults) and i have been discussing whether or not he would be willing to proctor a support group for ex-witnesses?

  i live in the upstate ny area (binghamton to be specific), any takers?

  i am also giving consideration to making this an online forum where questions/problems could be handled during chats sessions or via email...
