  i 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!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  I don't know what happened with all the font changes...Weird.

  These forums don't take too kindly to cut-and-paste. If you cut-and-paste first into Notepad to get rid of the formatting, you can then cut-and-paste from Notepad to here without bizarre things happening.

  it would be great to preserve: .

  - the grade 3 level dictation of unwritten wt rules like the 6 supreme directives to keep mother shameless and blameless.

  - the true-to-life how to handle skits.

  Even if you don't want to release it now so as not to blow your cover, you can always keep it for future release when you're ready.

  if you do a whois search on noblood.org, you'll find that the site is owned by a "larry eitel".

  his twitter site also links him to http://biblize.com/ which provides provides topical parallel scripture lookup in the new world translatoin, king james, and niv.

  the versalizer on biblize.com matches the same scriptures as the daily text.

  Nowhere on the site does it mention affiliation with the witnesses (at least not that I could find). (I also did a quick search on here and didn't find anything obvious stating that).

  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.

  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!
