TD,
Love your avatar. We just watched that movie the other night. It was really good and surprising. I am hard to surprise. I knew when he did HIS disappearing trick that she must be somewhere waiting on him. It was great.
sacrebleu
i know crisis of conscience is a classic and has helped more people than will ever be known.
but after that one or besides that one, which book has helped you reach the decision to leave or helped you feel better about leaving... made you feel validated, justified, stupid for having believed or just glad to be out?
which book has more facts?

Hi Shawn,
Don't agree with you about the Bible but stand by your right to have that opinion. I have faith in the Bible just not the JW way of taking Scriptures out of context and twising them. And yes a lot of other religions do the same thing. I agree.

Thank you all. I too like the Bible unadulterated by the JW junk. It is good for deprograming.
How about personal testimonies. I've read 30 years a Watchtower Slave, which in its early day was quite up to date and is still good. I've read Going Undercover which was a good story but did not include enough details and wasn't professionally written, I've read Visions of Glory which was good.
I am curious about The Awakening and Out of the Cocoon. Which one of those is best? Has anyone read either?

Made you feel validated, justified, stupid for having believed or just glad to be out? Which book has more facts? Which book has more educational value? Which book made the best reading? Which one is written the most skillfully? I've got C of C, and several others and am wondering which one to invest in next.
Any suggestions?

jgnat,
Don't you LOVE that quote? And isn't it true? Thanks for putting it up for all to see. I am still trying to figure out how to quote or copy and paste here.
But, I LOVE THAT QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watch that movie over and over. That isn't the only good part. The whole movie is so good and so true to life.

nvrgnbck,
Your avatar looks like a bird flying into a tornado or huricane. Is that what it is?

Thanks oompa,
I love your avatar by the way. Young Frankenstien right? Or is it Frankenstein? Spelling, spelling, spelling...
Anyway, my 27 yr old son went to a Halloween party dressed as Dr. Frankenstien from the movie.
White lab coat, menacing black electrical safety gloves, a couple of huge clamps, a name tag and even a real stethoscope. I think he had more fun thinking up the thing than wearing it though.

LeslieV,
Your welcome is beautiful. I would ask how you do that, but again, that is a techie question and I might get my wrist slapped for not asking it in the proper place. So I will eventually ask that. Speaking of asking questions and/or starting a new thread ( I almost wrote string - is that also correct??)...............
I noticed that I can only start two a day. Is that just for newbs?

And YES! jgnat,
I AM a Veggie Tales fan. I love cartoons. I appreciate the work it takes to make claymation, CGI cartoons and even good old fashioned hand-drawn cartoons.
But my favorite movie right now is Evan Almighty, followed closely by Madagascar.
My all time favorite movie is Moonstruck. The scene where Nick Cage's character goes into this long speech about how "love ruins everything" is my favorite speech in any movie. I even did a paper on in for one of my Communications classes.
