-Turns out I was ALWAYS an "apostate".

a recent post by jcanon (of all people, lol) jogged my memory and brought back (repressed?

) memories from when i was just a kid.

i remembered that i was constantly thinking - thinking of all that i learned as a jw (and at school/elsewhere), but i was always able to look at it from "outside the box" even as a kid.

I recently replied to another post about my youthful fantasy wherein the bOrg retracts their beleif in a literal Armageddon, field circus, etc. I remember that this was not only because of abject fear of Arm., but the fact that so much of their teachings just did not make sense. I mean not only their twisted interpretations of mainline doctrine, such as hellfire, trinity, etc., but, for example, all the earths animals paired up on an ark! Lions and Tigers eating grass while laying next to tasty sheep!

Come the F#$* on! What do we look like? Morons? Jeez, saying that felt good

I finally spoke to my parents. Best thing I did.

by ThomasCovenant in

several month ago i finally got up the courage to speak to my parents about the reasons i left the borg.

up until then things were brewing up inside me to the point where i thought i would explode in rage.. even though they were aware of the basic reasons they still had no idea about how angry i was.. friday afternoon i started by asking my mother that i would like to arrange a meeting between the 2 of them and my wife and i to discuss the 't'.

i didn't want to get into detail at this stage because it would be unfair on just her without my elder dad being there.

This reminds me of a line from my favorite FooFighters song

List of childhood simple pleasures...

i'll start.

rubbing the stubble on the nape of your neck all day the day you get a haircut...

This is a little different from most of your post, but I swear it's true.

One of my childhood pleasures- Imagining how great it would be if we went to the meeting and the Brother on the stage said: "We have a very important announcement to make; the Society has just announced that they were completely wrong about several key biblical issues, the first is that Armageddon is figurative, the second is that to be a good Christian need not entail going from door to door, and all good Christians just need to love one another to be in God's grace."

I literally fantasized about this happening, and carried much guilt for it.

Do you have more and/or better friends now?

because of the season i have been writing a list of friends/'worldy' relatives to send cards to.

i can't believe how many are on it!

i am so excited and hopeful for the future.

I don't really think that I have more friends, or better friends, as I didn't have many friends in the "Friends". What I have come to realize is that I myself am a better friend to those close to me than I was for so many years. I'm more open and honest with them, and don't feel the compulsion to cover how I truely feel in order to protect myself. The things that I did to hide that slimeball religion make me want to barf.

Barbara Anderson is on NBC Nightly News Tonight 11/21/07

by AndersonsInfo in

a producer with nbc in new york called within the past hour to tell me that the segment i interviewed for (once in nashville, tn in august and once in washington, dc in october) is set to air tonight on nbc nightly news with brian williams, that is, if no huge calamity takes place to bump the feature.

this piece will be two minutes and 45 seconds long, the longest slot nightly news has for topics of interest, and will feature a discussion about the court documents that are found on the cd i recently produced, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion, jehovah's witnesses in crisis.

in addition, nbc's internet site, msn, will follow with a detailed story.

Mrs. Anderson,

If I may be so bold Ma'am, you kick ass. Thanks for having the courage to face the Evil Empire.
