well, i just ordered "crisis of conscience".
i'm kind of nervous about actually buying and reading it.
this life is all i've ever known, it's my whole identity really.
EmptyInside, I kind of relate to what you are writing and your screenname. I used to be a fourth gen JW and a turning point was when I tried to preach to an Evangelical and he told me about Ray Franz. Firstly, I read the book in public libraries, later I bought it. It is a difficult point in life if you do not know anything else (like I did, too) but after that there is freedom!
i'm trying to gather data on ex-jws to analyze for a statistics class.
i'd appreciate it if you'd click the link and take my short survey.
it's only 7 questions and is anonymous.. .

i've never smoked tobacco or a joint in my life!
i know some regular pot smokers and they're pretty cool people.
they typically say pot is better than alcohol and that it should be completely legal.
the november 1st public wt has an article on "do you need to learn hebrew and greek?
" funny is it not that they feel we do not need too.
anywho on page 21 of said wt.
Former WT-president F.W.Franz had a little knowledge in those languages, hadn't he?
i left work early on wed as i was starting to cough and my nose was running.
i thought it was just a cold.
got home, took some stuff, went to take a nap...and i doubt that i left my bed for more than 4 hours in the next 48. i did check the mayo site and found i had 7 of the nine listed symptoms for the flu.
I think the symptoms of H1N1 are the same as the "normal" flu, aren't they?
BTW, I get a flu shot next week.
after 33 years of being mind controlled at 5 meetings a week, field service meetings, special day assembly, curcuit assembly,district assembly, finding out "the truth" is just a big hoax is like getting punched in the stomach-uppercut in the jaw-being kicked in the balls from behind and then having the rug ripped out from under you and smashing your head on the ground.
what was it like for everyone else?.
It is like learning that your parents are just your foster parents who feed you because they get money for it.
But it is also a diagnosis that you are not the crazy one but everyone in your household.
pioneer hour change is legit.
letters are being mailed out soon to all congregations for announcement in early october right before the tract campaign starts.. .
elimination of circuit overseers.
Seems this board has lost the connection to the org if there are not any information on the Annual Meeting.

i would love to do this on a mass scale... think there might be something "big" in the results.. 1. were you a born-in (including those who's parents converted while they were still children) or did you convert as an adult?.

i just don't get why the us is so afraid of social health care, and is so opposed to the canadian and british models.
the plain fact is that there are far more americans without access to health care than the combined populations of sweden, norway, denmark and finland.. a measure of the maturity of any society has to be how it sees fit to re-apportion its wealth.. we are quick to criticise african leaders who line their own pockets but leave the masses in poverty but cannot see that blindly following capitalist principles is much the same.
if we live in a wealthy society then part of that wealth has to be put back into society as a whole.. .
