ok so obviously there's more bad than good(slight understatement i know!

) but is there anything you did enjoy about the religion?

just wondering cos i asked myself that question and the only thing i can think of (and it seems a bit materialistic to me lol) is that i could dress up in nice clothes and see men in suits!

This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

heard some interesting comments about the study edition wondering if this is a trend developing.

a friends mother wanted to get a spare copy of the "kool aid" edition to share with her (faded) son in hopes he might attend.

the elder she asked declined stating that the brothers were being very stingy with them.
