  so here's the latest in my pathetic saga.

  i've tried to fly under the radar for the past year, but it isn't working so well.

  i've learned not to engage my wife in debates but rather to ask questions.

  "I don't owe you anything."

  It sounds like she no longer wants to be married.

  i didn't see her, but just ron did.

  she said hello and asked if we were all ok. just ron said we were all great and that seemed to really blow her mind.

  they just can't wrap their heads around the idea that we could flee the borg and be happy, healthy, and not miserable..

  The Way Things are, Not How You'd Like Them To Be

  at 37 years of age, i'm much to young for feeling this damn old, so apologies for sounding less than idealistic, but...... we need people who will be honest and true to themselves.

  having offered jws the entire decade of my 20's while they tried to suck out my soul, i have come to appreciate how little of a desire these days i have to change the world.

  which was sad at first.

  Jeff: On this topic, we agree a great deal. The WT crumbles the day you decide that you're done with it.

  Sauerkraut: If you're still concerned with being a "true Christain" you're still thinking like a JW. Spend six more months researching things. Writing a letter is ringing a bell that cannot be un-rung. You can be free without doing it. I wrote a letter. When I did so, I was supremely ignorant of what I was in the midst of. Instead of figuring out what I needed, I was obsessed with what God wanted. This same God had allowed me to a slave in a cult. Perhaps worrying about him shouldn't have been my top priority. Your concept of God's will is going to transform a great deal during the next 24 months, if you seek truth. Good luck.

  Will someone please explain this image to me? I'm not familiar with the point being made. Is the freaky hand actually a WT image? If so, what about the normal hand? Was it a change to a subsequent edition of the publication?

  Jehovah's Snitches

  by Gnosis in

  do members of a congregation usually snitch on each other for "sinful behaviour" a fellow member is caught doing ?.

  like smoking for example.

  how common is this snitching in the name of jehovah and is it encouraged by elders or in propaganda works ?.

  Members are *required* to spy on one another. If you don't rat each other out, Jesus will slit your throat at Armageddon.

  Those covering over sin become as guilty as the person who committed the sin.

  This is common within most high-control groups.

  A Catholic response to this comic.

  "Beneath all the smugness, profanity, blasphemy, and sneering hipster irony, the webcomic falters in the face of this: true, substantial, real religion. The comic can mischaracterize and distort, but in the face of actual Catholicism, it’s silent. It has no coherent or compelling answer in response to the Catholic claim. Snark simply has no retort to truth."

  It appears that I may have insulted this person. That was not my intention. If this is the case, then I sincerely apologize. I did already extend a welcome, but my initial comment was in poor taste.
