Welcome Trex:
At the risk of starting a flaming war with believers you can do some research and discover that Christianity is nothing but borrowed Pagan beliefs including Jesus born of a virgin...It all has it's roots in Pagan religion...

SHE is hilarious I can not wait to see that show...
i once went door to door with a 300+ lbs (fat) elder and the first guy who came out told him:"you should look like him" pointing at me with his finger.at first i didn't realise what he was talking about.at the end the man said to the elder clearly:"lose that fat and get thin like that young man (me)"the elder got embarassed and said "ok i will" (never did tho) but i couldn't stop laughing .
Then on another occasion we're working rural terrority and we knock at the front door no answer so this brother and I go around the back (no fence) and here's the householder sun bathing in the nude...she sees us jumps up and goes runnning inside the house...

I can remember working a street with another elder. He decided to check on the other car group at the end of the street. Two sisters were sitting in the front seat. So I go to the passanger side stick my head in to check on them and this sister had a plunging neck line with huge boobs. And I'm like staring right at them as they are about to fall out of her dress...
would you need worship...think about it, you're god what would you need of worship...you made life isn't that enough, did you make it to grovel upon the earth seeking your approval ready to spite it at any infraction to demand of it total loyality or destroy it at your whim because it didn't meet to your approval...why would you create it in the first place why would you need it....

i thought about that question myself and i don't think i really hate anyone.
i guess i could hate bin laden or some nameless evil terrorist but no one comes to mind..
I despise my elder/cousin (no longer an elder) I was hauled into 2 JC's for what the elders deemed inappropriate behaviour with married sisters. *nothing went on, nothing was going on or going to happen* but these sick B**tards threatened to DF me if I didn't admit what I did was wrong. So I did. THEN my elder/cousin Mr. Company man committed adultry and wasn't DF'd divorced his JW wife of 30 years and the Elders at his JC said, "Oh go ahead and marry her". I then DA's myself...
I'm a cracker head...
i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .
I stopped 2004 after 28 years on the inside...
