i believe it is mostly guilt.
many witnesses pioneer or "reach out" in the religion because they feel guilty.. they may feel they aren't doing enough.
they may have secretly "sinned" against rules imposed by the organization.
Fear of displeasing Jah = death! Not having that fear anymore is an amazing feeling, even though I'm technically 'in' so to speak, my brain is free. I wake up every day not worrying about falling through a giant crack in the earth while chunks of concrete fall on top of me. (gotta love those illustrations)

i am just putting this out there.
notice how they repeatedly stress that the proceedings are not a trial or legal proceeding?
is this their way of putting out their position so that they have a legal defense against challenges of those disfellowshipped?
Why would those douche bags stress something that is plainly obvious...Clearly it's not a legal proceeding as they are not elected / appointed judges or lawyers in a court of law. I swear everyone in this cult takes f%$#@ing crazy pills.
Was this a serious question? I don't ever recall seeing any kind of church etc with an on-site grave yard. Why in the world would this ever be considered? Maybe I'm wrong...or maybe this is common in your country (if you're outside the U.S.) Just seemed like a weird question. Maybe I need another cup of coffee...
does anyone know what going on with ajwrb's website?.
"this domain maybe for sale!
buy it now!
Minimus, with all due respect to a long time poster / asker of questions / former JW Elder etc...;-) Your question to Lee seems a little rude (imho anyway)
You said: Lee, exactly what have you accomplished? JWs still won't take blood. No JW that I know of has changed their opinion about blood.
Isn't that just as dumb as asking Paul Grundy 'what his jwfacts.com site has accomplished? The WTS still exists?'
How is he supposed to answer that weird question?
People have obviously said it has helped them...Hasn't he done something good right there?
That was was of the 1st sites that started to open my eyes.
Thanks Lee

prologos to answer your question ea team has a cap...they can only spend so much for top talent. Actually many of the difference makers were NFL cast offs who were low draft picks and / or undrafted free agents.
Here's what one of the Seahawks scouts said about this 2013-2014 team
"The Seahawks are not just talented. They are mysteriously talented. They are comprised not only of draft-day afterthoughts who have become quality starters but draft-day afterthoughts who have become stars. It is as confounding as it is rare."
here is the text of the letter:.

your brothers,.
I think it will make it harder to start a fade now, but to those that have faded out 3 or more years ago, it probably got a little easier for them. Just my humble guess anyway.

My sincere apologies! I re-read your post, ignoring the caps and the sarcasm I incorrectly infered.
I just read it wrong. My fault.

insearchoftruth4 LOVE, LOVE the SARCASM ... AND ALL CAPS!! WOW. GOOD JOB. YOU SURE DID SHOW ME.
seriously, no big deal. I am not here wearing my 'I love Sherm' shirt. Just thought I'd present another side. Yeah, he's cocky, I'd think he's an A-hole if I was for another team. But he's on the Hawks...so I like to think he's got some good qualities to go along with the rest.
Sorry...don't know how to say your welcome in Hawaiian, brah
Aloha though
