It takes time to free yourself from this cult, guilt is what they want you to feel. Check out the "Best of", this will help realize that the "Truth" is not the truth.

les stroud (Survivorman) or bear (Man vs. Wild)? (Discovery channel)
by troucul inme, i prefer bear.
don't know if anyone has seen the latest round of people who put themselves in harm's way to educate people as to what to do in a survival situation.
i like bear (even though he has a filmcrew,) because i think it's more realistic.

Bear is a fake, he doesn't take any risk, if he fails he has the crew there to save his ass and you will never see that video.

Would you join a "Letters to the Editor" Campaign?
by LennyinBluemont ini just finished reading randys thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/128072/1.ashx).
it occurs to me that his initial post here, with a bit of re-wording and reducing it to maybe three short paragraphs, would make an excellent letter to the editor of our local papers.
what if we all embarked on a letter-writing campaign to our local papers, using this as a basis?

Soulmates do you believe in them
by fifi40 indo you believe in love at first sight?
do you believe that we have a soulmate?
has any one ever experienced either of them

Love at first sight is just sexual attraction, it always fades with time. That is why half of all marriages fail. To me a soulmate is a best friend, someone to share your life, your hopes, your dreams, the good, the bad, an equal partner, never judging, always by your side. I have a soulmate and I am very lucky to have found her.

I would go into the future. When cancer, heart disease, AIDS and many genetic disease, have been cured. When people can live as long as they care to live and no one is falling for the "Live forever in paradise" JW BS.

What would an elder charge for a pay-for-reinstatement?
by sass_my_frass inokay, elder fantasy scenario #2: you've won lotto, more than you can spend in your lifetime.
so much that putting down a few hundred thousand to get your family back would be peanuts.
how much do you think it would cost to buy the most devoted elder?

PEC
I wouldn't give them a dime. That is why I disinherited my sister.

JWs funerals.......forget about the dead person lets preach!
by new boy ingod forbid you would talk about the person at his funeral............what do most people get after living 70-80 years..........a 5-10 minutes eulogy....................the transition statment is "let me tell you about what fred really believed in".............................45 minutes later.....that way the specker can count his time.. as we know people in the organization are unimportant living or dead.

When my Mother died, at the JW memorial service, I was given dirty looks, (mostly by family members) they were trying to make me feel like, I didn't belong at my Mother's funeral. I attended out of respect for my mother and her beliefs, this is how I get rewarded by those JW whacko's. Today 11 years later the pain and anger are still just as strong, it should have been a celebration for her life not, a opportunity to punish those that don't conform.
