Aw, shucks. Yeah I'll change it back, I was just in a Cultural Studies lecture the other day and we were discussing Marxism... it made me think.
Anyway, you're too cute to hide behind a cartoon avatar, yourself. -

That's Karl Marx! Shock!
Not that I'm a Marxist, I just agree with him saying that Religion is the opium of the people...
It certainly is. -

Hawkeye to Cora, in The Last of the Mohicans:
"If they don't kill you, they'll take you north to Huron land. You submit, do you hear? You're strong, you'll survive. You stay alive, no matter what occurs. And I will find you. Not matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I WILL find you."
Makes me cry every time- I've never seen a line acted with so much passion. -

What was it that "clicked" w/ you that this wasn't the "true religion"?
by cognac infor me, it was not being able to prove that people were going to be resurrected to earth... i'm still not sure of the answer, but for some reason that just started this huge, fast snowball of different things that i couldn't prove... .
this lightbulb just went off in my head... .

For and me it was when it became clear that when you miss a few meetings and start to fade they treat you like you have leprosy and shun you without knowing why. The elders tell us to shun people, from the platform if someone gets disfellowshiped and we never know the reason. That just can't be right.

I sometimes wish I was still In.
by faundy ini have read things on here that have made me think.
i know it's the general idea.
but the realisation of some of the issues and their legitimacy has made me wish that i was still a witness.

Pops- I understand that, but what I was saying is that an insider stands a better chance of getting questions answered than someone who is no longer attending at all.

No, not for that reason.
But for the fact that I had very good friends who were highly regarded in the hall. I was very close to three elders, and their wives. I would often go round for tea with them, because I lived on my own and they looked after me, for the most part.
Now, they wouldn't look twice at me in the street. If I was still a witness, I could show them things and ask them questions, innocently, even citing the media as my source, not an 'apostate' website. If I was still a Witness, they would have to answer me. Now, they don't have to say a single word in defense.
It made me realise that those on this board who still attend meetings and are held in esteem are in a very powerful position. Not that they can take down the organization from the inside, but that they can talk freely, ask questions (within reason) and talk to elders face to face without having a label of 'disfellowshipped' or 'apostate'.
