Gonna go with Shawshank. Moreso the movie than the book. Shows the way different people could react to life outside of the walls of the Borg. Brooks couldn't deal with not being in the walls because that was all he knew for 50 years. Red showed the struggle to find a purpose outside of the walls but ultimately hung on and it paid off.

My Final Goodbye
by Lady Lee ini want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

Another big hole in 1914
by leaving_quietly in1914 is the year for two major events: the end of the gentile times and the beginning of the last days.. .
the gentile times prophecy (luke 21:24) is a supposition that the "seven times" of daniel 4 had a second fulfillment, thus the 2,520 years prophecy was born with 607 c.e.
as the starting point.

NYTimes: Does The FBI Hatch Terrorists?
by metatron inhttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-helped-along-by-the-fbi.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0.
some authorities are beginning to question the fbi's conduct in this area.
when conspiracy theorists accuse the fbi of causing terror plots, it isn't entirely crazy.
