I'll just write you off as bad association and of no use to me.
Is this for real? You are actually sending this to another human being? Your aunt? That is horrible and cruel.
my grandparents are jehovah's witnesses and didn't raise their daughter to behave in such a manner.
i sent her this letter:.

when i was a firm believer that the wts was god's chosen organization, i didn't really research too much.
never gave much thought to other opinions.
if the insight book said so, than it was factual.
Going through all of the above right now. I honestly think I'm going crazy sometimes but it sounds like we all go through similar things. I'm having a hard time trusting anything written or said.
Miseryloveselders: I don't know how you do it! The last meeting I went to was the memorial and I just wanted to scream, grab the plate of crackers and down it with the wine. It was such an eerie feeling - like being in zombie land.
So nice to see everyone's comments - I learn a lot. Thanks.

tow the line - toe.

Whores devours is hilarious!! People must have raised their eyebrows when you said that. It's good that we can laugh at ourselves!

They're, there, their
To, too
There are too many lies coming from Bethel. They're very deceitful over there. I'm not going to believe them again.
Of course many of us who write are doing so at all hours so grammar and spelling tends to go out the window! That's my excuse
we have been out of the organization since 1-1-2004 - at least that is the way we mark it to remember.
we began to read ray's books in late fall/early winter of 2003 - a thousand pages later and a few weeks - viola - we were out to never return.. i was contemplating just how significantly i have personally changed in that period of time - not the stages, though there have been many stages.
but the raw contrast of my opinions, moral stance, and view of the world is amazing.
I'm so happy for you! Thank you for sharing. Freedom and choice are wonderful things. Gives me hope that I'll get there someday.
New light states that ones are to obey even if they don't understand. Wait on Jehovah.
Mad Sweeney: I didn't realize there were ones in the writing dept that are of the conscious class. How many do you figure? I wonder how their writing gets past the GB. That's great to know - I hope they keep it up and awaken others through their own literature.
i just heard this comment, and thought it was very interesting and that others might enjoy it !.

education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
Thanks! Good quote - so true. That is if one isn't too ignorant to accept it - we all know ones like that.
what if a deaf brother sign the longest prayer ever recorded like one hour or two hours, do you think the audience will disappear before he signs amen?

11 minutes was the longest one I've heard. The assembly was already 30 minutes overtime. I was fuming and so were many others. Totally unnecessary. It summed up the ENTIRE three days! I should have just come for the prayer and saved the three days.

Than and then - than is used in comparisons.
She has better grammar than I do but then who cares - I'm not a writer.
I ain't got more
your warm and supple skin delights my touch, and the gliding of my fingers up and down your spine creates within my rising spirit an awareness of heavens glory, her gates wide open.. .
upon revelation of treasures long hid from me, i melt inwardly as your trove of precious thoughts works the wheels of my mind and invests it with renewed inspiration and fresh resolve.
your message is no mere dry statement, rife with boring facts, but, bolder still, an ardent declaration meant for the entire world to read, ponder, act upon.. .
I love it! Thank you - a beautifully worded ode to books
