Great. Now we JWs can further turn off our thinking and say "There is no reason to listen to apostate arguments because Andre already did the research for us.".
Great way to address the issue without addressing any of the issues.

I just can't do anymore right now....
by GrandmaJones ini am constantly reading, studying, looking up more stuff on the internet, perusing old threads, keeping up with "new light" on jwn.
i am in the middle of "in search of christian freedom" (having just finished steve's cultmind control book) and i am finding it so argumentive doctrinally that my head is spinning.
i found myself this evening with my laptop next to my desktop (all the better to reference back and forth, m'dear) the wt library cd-rom open to "the modern history of jehovah's witnesses" in twenty four parts, with a plethera of "rainbow" books open for easy reference while i was listening to an old fred franz discourse at dodgers stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Hi GrandmaJones,
This is part of the learning process that a lot of us go through.
When I started 'waking up', I was reading and researching every chance I got. Mainly I think it was because I wanted to get straight in my mind what the facts are regarding my religion and what I believed. After all, one should not risk everlasting life and their family on hearsay.
I'm still in the discovery process, but a year in I've managed to find some kind of peace with myself. I'm still an active, albeit hypocritical JW, have acknowledged the situation I'm in, have had time to process what I'm learning, and will not make any rash decisions until I know for sure what I want to do. I guess I'm in this for the long haul.
Being here has helped me to see a wide variety of perspectives beyond the narrow one I had before. Leolaia and PSacramento in particular have built an interest in history and development of the Bible that I never thought I had before..
When things seem too overwhelming, take a break to process things. When you're ready for more, dive back in!

Looks like a witness.
Oh, you can also donate to him on the website if you want to.

An excerpt from "Releasing the Bonds" (Steven Hassan), pg 325, that is good to keep in mind:
Overcome Black-and-White, All-or-Nothing
If you observe your loved one exhibiting cult thinking, such as making black-and-white, all-or-nothing statements, gently point it out to him. It takes time for former memberts to realize that the world has "grays" and a full spectrum of color! Gently point out other possibilities if you see the ex-member looking for another set of absolute answers to fill the void created by their membership.
