Was interviewed on SBS which was televised all over Australia. Definately burnt any bridges back . One Elder I ran into in the shopping centre , turntailed and ran, mumbling something about Satan. Seems I must have grown some horns

that are decidedly contrary to the bleatings of the b0rg and publicized?.
i am about to commit a humdinger of a display of worldliness, with potential for.

How do you put a gag on feelings of fear when living outside the "truth"?

Feelings are responders They repond to your thoughts. One thought that helped me early in the piece was that If Jehovah is going to destroy billions of people because they have not read a WT then he is a bastard and not worth knowing. That if the GB's threat was true "obey us or Jehovah will kill you" then I would prefer to die with those that are so unjustly condemned for such a pathetic reason

Why do I come here
by Luo bou to ini believe i have completely freed myself from any borg influence yet i am drawn to this board.
like many of you ,i lost my wife and family, but i don't believe i can do anything about that, and if i could, i doubt that it would be a kindness on my part to do so.
they have so much invested.

Markfromcali said it's much easier to stay in a comfort zone - but not if you really value what is true. This tells me it's people who have some sense of integrity.
I remember that moment Mark. Having realized that I had been deceived , and the choice that now lay before me. I valued my faith because I truly believed it was the truth. Now that I knew it wasn't I couldn't support or live a lie. It's not me. I did toy with the idea though, 'cause I then realized for the first time the power the WT had over my life through my JW friends family and wife.
Thanks to all those that shared Robert (an idealist who sometime thinks life would more comfortable if he was more pragmatic)

I know from my own experience; raised from childhood, baptized at 17, and then faced with the awful realization at 48 that it was all bullshit and I had wasted my life a terrible emptiness and a whole gambit of emotions I had to deal with. It was no picnic . I believe I am alright now at 62 and reasonably sane. At least I think I am. In fact I know I am. I've got my doubts about you though So why do I come here? I am not a crusader although I have helped many ex's. I don't have any lingering doubts about whether it could be true. So why I ask myself what is the fascination ( rhetorical question). I think its because, although I have never met any of you, I can relate to, and understand you .There is a certain report a bond that only we share that those that have not experienced it. do not really understand. Your the only connection I have with a major part of my life. I know I could party with you guys and have a great time So here I am

I've had car drivers look straight at me then pull out in front of me failing to give right of way. It's as though they were thinking " it's only a motorbike it can't hurt me" Never happened to me when I was driving my 10 ton tip truck though. I wonder why?

The new house...
by Aussie Oz inwell, time for an update.... new house is in the country, just over an hour out of the city.
we came up and camped in the new house on settlement night...much to the shock of the real estate agent who thought we were joking!
i mean, it does need some work, and the plumbing is dodgy but works, the bathroom has all the pipes exposed and the toilet is akin to sitting in an old shed.... any way, we stay and a friend loaded up the truck saturday night and delivered our furniture sunday morning, it was not a rest saturday though as the place resembled a rubbish tip.
