I have wanted to make banners and hang them over the drives at the KH in my area: problem: money for the banners and time.
However, one day.......
Keep us posted on your efforts.
Yours in this Stuggle,

I'm not taking this crap from no one fooled by the WT
by dawg inso, as many of you know, i wrote a letter three months ago and told my family the goods about this cult... i think i was kind enough yet firm enought to get my point across-let's hope so as i'm not exactly ernest hemmingway when it comes to writing.
here's the best part to come of it.
not one of my letters was ever given to the elders; apparently i'm not going to be disfellowshipped for apostacy-which honestly i could give a big rat's ass less about that one, and best of all, the letter has made it even to people that i didn't even send it to which means it's being passed around.

Hard line stance taken-results are in!
by dawg ini recently wrote a letter to every family member i could find an address to which exposed the wt org as the group of fools they actually are!
interesting thing is that not one letter was sent to my home congregation by anyone and the letter circulated to almost every family member i have; so instead of turning me in as i suspected they would do, they are talking about it openly and distributing it to all family members-even ones i couldn't find an address to.
i'm winning this war!

Wiz,
Do you know of any "co-ordination" efforts between site owners, besides "links?"
The problem seems to be this: After exiting, everyone comes up with a different "take:" on post exiting avenues. Or, like Ray Franz, none at all. This "Babal-ish" confusion is a "told ya' so" from the WT to those considering exiting.
Thoughts?

I did not see the movie "Braveheart" all the way through:
Is this a quote Mel Gibson's character? Must have been the best part of the film......

What blew me away was when I found out the Society was making a 21 and a half cent profit on the mags back in the early eighties. I do not mind a profit, but, why did they not state there was a profit and, instead, the the price was to "cover the cost of printing." All the while mocking folks contibuting hard earned cash to thier various congregations to fund a variety of ministries and the cost of buildings etc?
This deception is fraud.

Welcome to Fellow Newbie Oracle
by SnakesInTheTower ini posted a new topic so i could expand on some comments without hijacking the hugging 5thgeneration thread.
my take on point 1: blood transfusions.
personally, i still would not accept blood transfusions, but not because of some borg mind control.

The following comment has to do more with the "human condition" than a "religious perspective:"
I see the best circumstances for a "healthy," positive, sexual expression best founded in a relationship that is long term and mutually beneficial. Sex is just too complicated to be "beneficail" in any other place. If we are just using sex as a release of built up frustration or lust, it is NOT connected to a removal of lonliness: that was my point. What is missing in the society around us is the interactions that promote the personal contact. Computers and the net are a means of contact, however, we are typing or talking while alone.
Your buds need to get their arses (hillbilly for "buttucks") off the couch and down to the local soup kitchen or Habitat for Humanity project. Get involve with people: frustrating as that is. They need people to form the relationships that will lead them to thier soul mate. Man, just look at the pictures of the women that have been posted on this board: everyone is really beautiful for this or that reason: they just shine. And, from the posts they are really cool. Yet, think of how much "cooler" they would be if you were working beside them in a project or over a cup of coffee with common friends.
This is what your buddies need to see.
I'm done....

Having sex with a total stranger for money does not sound like a solution for lonliness: it would seem to only increase it. A temporary, dangerous, illigal, emotionally uncomfortable solution to "horniness:" I will buy that, but, not lonliness. Your friends need to be encouraged to risk the time and effort of relationships, generally, (even if it means missing a Star Trek rerun) and, then, specifically, they will meet women of the same type: Trek loving, stay at home girls that will heat a frozen dinner while dressed in a "Five of Nine" costume.....
Yours in this Struggle,

You said "there are plenty of fish in the sea...."
So, you have fallen in love with a mermaid. I must admit, from the illustrations I have seen, that the top half is pretty cool. The problem is that bottom half.....
So, unless you kind find a Walt Disney solution: head for dry land and find a two legged companion.
My take,

I voted, for the first time, in the last presidential election. The choice was dumb and dumber. I voted for dumb. The other party's candidate won. The rest is history.......
