ok, slowly awakening and fading at the same time for two years now, and did not plan it.
i tell my wife last night i have been having some interesting e-mails with my dad about the qb from the sept km we are to study this week.
she says she has read it, but does not remember it.
I feel for what you are going through. When I was at that point that I knew it was all BS and just another manmade borganization but still "in", it was pure hell. That was 10 years ago and I still suffer from PAD because of it. I was fortunate that my wife was right beside me when we decided to walk.
We are both sending hugs and good mojo your way. Be strong, Bro'.
oops i mean astronauts, neil armstrong, gordon cooper, buzz aldrin and edgar mitchell...these former astronauts have aquired a mental illness or maybe they tell the truth.
you decide.
just dont call them "magical thinkers" prone to bouts of wild imagination.
I am a sceptical believer. I had my own sighting of a classic silver disc when I was 5 years old back in 1958 or 59. Didn't know what i had seen till some years later when I became aware of the UFO phenomena in the media. At the time of my sighting it was a funny airplane that made no noise . .
They are real, and the PTB know more than they're telling.
The problem is that any serious inquiry quickly get's tainted by the lunatic fringe.
Good book: "The Hunt for Zero Point" by Nick Cook, former aviation desk editor for Janes Defence Weekly. This man has some credibility.

I play blues/classic rock guitar and restore/build Porsches. My latest project is a 1991 944S2 that I swapped the engine out with a Chevy LT1 V8 out of a 96 Vette.

I do those things when I'm not working on restoring my 1930's arts and crafts style house . . . . I am very busy :o)
maybe we are the crazy ones!
but, after a chat with the po of our congo, we felt a little better with the knowledge that we are not alone on the inside.
let us explain .... today we went to the ministry as every saturday :(.
wow, some of you are a harsh lot, aren't you? "Let's stone 'im, methinks 'es a troll"
After reading all the posts I come down on otb's side here.
Why? Because these things happen. I had a very similar conversation with a CO back in the 90's while in service after we found out that we had both recently read some of the same books. "Fingerprints of the Gods" in particular. He's still in, I'm not..
I also had a similar conversation with an elder around the same time.
And Bryan, we used terms like"the ministry" and "the service" all the time. Regional dialect differences ya know . . :o\
i've heard the jws referred to on this site mostly as a cult.
as such, am i the only one who fears that one day the society will tell them to eliminate all of us who have been deemed apostates?
i can think of several of my old "friends" who would not hesitate to take me out.
Didn't the Borg publish a statement in a rag back in the 60's or 70's to the effect that if not for the law of the land, they would carry out the OT punishment upon apostates and other unrepentant sinners?
back in my dub days, i used to make copies of all the old recorded talks i could get my hands on.
in the process i was surprised to come across several talks in which the "faithful slave" tried to make the case that all the scriptures talking about the "heart" were not figurative, but referred to one's literal heart--the organ itself!
as i recall, they even incorporated some pseudo-scientific quotes as "proof" that the heart could effect your thoughts and motivations.
I remember articles the Borg vomited up speaking to this in the 60's. They alleged that the recipient of a heart transplant would take on personality and behavioral traits of the donor. Even as a 12 -13 yr old this crap pegged my BS detector.
My Mom for putting up with my "true believer" self righteous, hypocritical elder, PO, pioneer superfine father all these years.
My Mom for standing by me regardless of what the Borg or the Old Man said.
All my Uncles who served bravely and unselfishly during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
All those young men and women doing the same in the ME in the war against terrorism, tyranny, and religious fascism.
Stevie Ray Vaughn and James Marshall Hendrix.
Ray Franz for the courage to do what he did and stand up straight, tall and unafraid for the real truth.
Barbara Anderson for her efforts.
so what is it?
i say mine is english with an admixture of german (before the nazis ever existed, no need to go on about that) northern french and italian from venice.
i look northern european and feel close to that part of the world with family tradition being roman catholic.
Scottish and Irish with just a nuance of Native American. Ancestors came over in Black '47 to Ontario and Nova Scotia.
