  i wrote a letter to pz myers about the sparlock vid and asked all of my ex-jw pals to do the same if they had a few moments.

  and he posted about it!.

  pz myers is huge in the skeptic/atheist community, so the vid is spreading to non-jws as well.

  New ex-JW memoir coming out...

  i don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.

  http://www.amazon.com/dp/0373892357?tag=thegirsguitoh-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkcode=as1&creativeasin=0373892357&adid=038ez4bjpam7bcsze5mq&.

  that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .

  http://www.reuters.com/article/idustre7070ec20110108.

  "they (the government) accused our brothers there that they were going from house to house telling people not to register and not to vote," taban jamba lemi, a jehovah's witness based in juba, told reuters late on friday.. "they are just allegations and the government took them seriously," lemi added.. "for jehovah's witnesses, each one has his own responsibility whether he votes or not.

  we are not dictating that all jehovah's witnesses cannot vote.".
