since i don't know what to believe about "god" right now, i'm wondering what a pagan's take on all this is.
consider this a roll call for any and all pagan types out here.
whether you consider yourself pagan, neo-pagan, poly-theist, wiccan or whatevs, i'd like to hear from ya.
I am interested in paganism but don't exactly fit into any one discipline yet, though I suppose neo-pagan is a broad enough category that might include me.

when my mum returned after 6 weeks she had also been converted.
i am sure the twenty years younger and big boobs had nothing whatsoever to do with it and cannot think why he both could think of no other way of leaving and why if it was so bad it was alright to leave his kids in it.
she beat me so bad i found out afterwards my brothers thought she was going to kill me.

as i have enjoyed reading everyone elses biogs here i thought it was about time that i put my own down.
i have thought about why i want to do this and whilst i can pretend it is for the better good and it will act as a warning for others thinking of joining the witnesses, actually i think it is because i think it is just because it makes an interesting story and as will become apparent a good part of my life i had to live a lie and i now find it really liberating just to be really open with everyone.. i also thought about how to write it.
was tempted to write it to the tune of the fresh prince but thought that might get a bit tough after about verse 38. then wondered whether i should do it in the style of one of those biography pieces in the awake but that would involve reading an awake to mimic the style and just couldnt be bothered.

i've heard certain people here refer to jehovah's witnesses as a mind-control cult, high-control cult; theories perpetrated for how long i don't know, but at least since the days of ray franz.
i had spent nearly forty years as a full time representative, serving at every level of the organizational structure.
the last fifteen years i had spent at the international headquarters, and the final nine of those as a member of the worldwide governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
AIW-
You don't have to go back to the days of the Judge to see the extravagance.
You say you visit Bethel... you must have seen the chandelier at Patterson. Pretty little million dollar bauble isn't it?
one of the words of today was concentric - sharing a common center.. which set me to thinking about eccentric - out of center.. i've been told that i'm eccentric.. have you ever been told that?.
thanks.. syl.
I was going to say yes, but after I read Outlaw's comment, I guess I have to go with just being nuts.
I wouldn't want to be "normal" .
speaking from my experiance i have seen no less than 10 elderly jw's put into old age care homes and promptly forgotten about!.
no visits from their "loving shepards" no vists from their spritual family.
they were left to rot out of sight out of mind.
I have seen much the same thing. When an elderly person is placed in a nursing home,very few of the Witnesses bother to visit.
as the conventions started today in my home state, i can't help but think of the hundreds of jw young people that i know who are still single, esp those over 25. it's really sad that for so many this is their only chance of finding somebody to date.
some that i know have even crossed over into their 30's, and they go year after year, always talking about the possibility of meeting someone special.. the organization literally controls their minds, and dating and marriage to a non-jw is out of the question.
it's so sad that so many have missed out on their life's dreams of having a family and companionship.
Oh yes, all the Dear hunters.
Happy birthday !!
