In reply yo sir82, it has been talked about recently that just as they have recently been outsourcing highly skilled engineering work at Warwick, they are also hiring outside firms to assist in legal defense.

Something that stuck me....These are the same "experiences", if you will, that he has told in other recorded talks.
So that tells me he knows of THREE times going to university has caused problems. Out of 8 million people he should have HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of examples if it is truly as bad as he wants to make it seem.

Did you ever hear yourself as a JW say something and think, did that just come out of my mouth?
by Wasanelder Once ini was driving with a long time non-witness friend when a song by supertramp came on the radio and i changed it.
she asked "why did you do that?
i like that song.

Vidiot, funny you say that because I stayed away from evolution. I felt that the reasoning used by the society was not right, even though I didn't know about the misquoting. I didn't fell that I knew enough.
I would say that in my later active years, I even may have believed in the catholic god guided type of evolution. The science made too much sense.

Yes, but one stands out, probably my awakening moment.
I often shared conversations about religion especially the differences with a Mormon coworker.
He asked me about birthdays, and after I gave him the "company line" on why birthdays were bad, it immediately hit me like a ton of bricks, just how stupid that argument was.
The more I tried to argue, the worse I sounded to myself. That was the moment i let myself research other opinions.

It's cruise control of the mind, most dubs go to the meetings, can defend things that are in the book they studied in, ie, "live forever" or "god's Love" but anything newer gets missed.
Many JWs couldn't explain doctine if they needed to, it's just such a shallow understanding and a repeating of sound bites with no real concern for what they mean.

My family has known I'm an apostate
by cognac ini found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.
this piece of news is just so depressing.
i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

My dad did the same to my wife and I. He may be a jerk, but it is what they are taught to do.
Certianly not everyone is this way. I don't believe my in-laws told anyone what they knew.

I'm glad you find happiness where you are now. I feel we all need to get over that proveribal "hump" where we make real friends and start a new life. It releases the hold that DF/DA can hold over us.

I'm done hiding who I am with my family
by cognac ini'm pissed that i got scared the other day and didn't just tell my mom i was celebrating halloween.
i was caught off-guard when she asked what i was doing and felt that fear they instill in you.
hate that i still feel that way when i shouldn't.

My wife found freedom in telling her parents about halloween and trick/treating with my son, yes it complicates an already difficult sitution, but in the end being honest is freeing.
We were DF'd because of the halloween decorations after fading for 4 years. I will echo the sentiment that you can be DF'd for anything two elders agree on.
