Renee, Witnesses don't like to think. They like for everything to be delivered to them in a nice, sealed package, where they can just sign for it and forget about it.

One thing that leaving the Watchtower has taught me is humility. As a Witness, we're taught that we were above and beyond every other form of life outside the organization.
So now, I certainly don't brag about anything that I have accomplished. I did get a 4-year degree while I was a Ministerial Servant (hehe). I did it somewhat covertly, though. But I think it takes something a little more than book smarts to see beyond the mental conditioning that you go through as a Witness. So yes, I think ex-Witnesses who were able to NOT be hypnotized by the Watchtower and break away...those are intellectually superior individuals.
I can't say that I am one of those individuals. Because I didn't realize the evil of the Watchtower until after I was out, after I was disfellowshipped. When I was in, I couldn't see it.

Advice wanted... possible stalker
by bluesbreaker59 inso over the last couple days, i've been getting messages on myspace from someone that wants to know "what band i play with?
" i have not answered these questions with direct answers, because i'm pretty sure its a fake profile with someone from my past operating it.
this has happened before, where my ex, tried to be added as a friend to my page, and i knew it was her.

I've dealt with this sort of problem a few times over the past few years, and once again very recently. You have to be very clear with them and use very direct, piercing language that gets the point across. You can't underestimate this kind of thing, either. People kill over this kind of stuff every day.

How sad it is when a cult has somebody so blinded and so detached from reality...that they don't even understand the difference between Christian apostasy and Organizational apostasy.

It has helped immensely.
The stereotype is that everyone who leaves
(1) just wanted to fornicate, celebrate holidays, and do drugs freely,
(2) thought they were of the anointed and had mental instability and pride issues,
(3) or just became so materialistic and focused on things.
Well, I found out that there is another category: found out they were lied to, and didn't like it.Extremely well put.

OMG
I just about snorted my morning hot tea up my nose when I read that! Thanks for the morning laugh.
BTW, what software are you using to get the fonts just right?
SnakesInTheTower (of the "wiping tea off my face" Sheep Class)
Snakes,

I'm so glad that you guys are enjoying these!
Funny. But not as funny as an earlier QFR you distributed.
NewYork44M,
They can't all be winners. Plus, I'm not going for hilarity every time. Through this one, I wanted the irony to shine through of how the Watchtower likes to trace everything back to it's origin. But if they did that themselves, there would be no choice but to admit that they are just another false religion.
