The site Eclipse gave said the song was inspired by his reading of the Bible, not the truth book. I heard this legend years ago, actually never knew for sure if it was true.
Just like the jws to take credit for inspiration from the Bible.

"Crystal Blue Persuasion" -- Is it really about the "Truth" Book?
by B_Deserter ini haven't been able to find a definite source online.
all my life i was taught that this song was about the blue "truth" book that was being used to bring people into the witnesses in the late 60's/early 70's.
now that i don't blindly accept whatever i've been told, i'm having my doubts.

Deborah,
I think you said it very well. I couldn't have described the organization today better than you just did. My next question is how many of the friends actually know this? Sorry I am so nosey? I have seen the last few changes in the organization from the outside. I could already feel what you feel, the slow drain, and sickly condition years ago.
Those that are dying, are they looking elsewhere? or just withering up as people? One good thing you have is that you and your husband are on the same page. That will help a lot in the near future. I am sorry your world is imploding around you as most have been there and experienced at it one time. I don't think the society has had anything new in many years. It is floundering out there, not knowing what to do.
Best wishes in your fade (if that's what you choose). There is life outside that life (prison), it just takes some getting used to, that's all.
Sincerely, Choosing Life

I like the one where Alice Cooper is taking his kids shopping for school and they say, I thought you said school was out for ever.

What's wrong with universal salvation? Do some need to be destroyed for the rest of us to ok? What if God could save all his children? Wouldn't you if you had the chance, save all of your children I mean? Would that make God successful or a failure?
How about us? I like to think I will always be able to reach my children's hearts someway.

My last communication with mom & sister
by HadEnuf intoday i decided to write my mom and sister, who are currently occupied with shunning me, a letter of good-bye.
seems to me that this should bring me somewhat of a closure to this whole jw business.
i probably won't send this out until next week.

Actually it wasn't Hitler who killed all those people. He got others to do his dirty work. Shunning is evil in every respect. The fact they can't see that shows the degree of mind control involved.
Wish you the best with your mom and sis. I hope it's not a long goodbye. There's hope they mighr wake up, like we did.

Jehovah's Witnesses in Crisis. My initial observations.
by candidlynuts ini recieved my copy today and have only spent an hour or so in looking it over.. i want to commend barbara anderson and those who assisted her , this is very well written and compelling.
if you haven't ordered a copy yet, i encourage you to do so.. (forgive me if i word this badly my awake college education might show ) my initial reaction to what i've been reading is how the watchtower society lawyers, headquarters etc does not apper to be any kind of organization led by god.
it appears to be a business trying to protect it's treasures stored upon the earth.

Memario,
I can understand the part of your story where you weren't allowed to show emotions. I was not raised as a jw, but I cannot remember my parents ever hugging or kissing me. Maybe they did when I was little, but I don't remember. I hug them now, as they are getting older, to try and teach them. It's often quite awkward though, like hugging a stiff board.
I am glad you are waking up to your emotions now and let the tears and feelings flow. The best part is yet to come. Good things come when we allow ourselves to feel and be vulnerable.
Thanks for sharing your story. Best wishes to you and your wife!
