Terra Incognita, your post would surely reinforce the image that WT wants to create in the faithful that "apostates" are such not because of a sincere realization that they have been misled by WT teachings but have wicked hearts!

Fortunately for me, my dad and my siblings, we all came out of The Watchtower mindset in 2000/2001 courtesy of the internet though my dad and mum never got out of the org formally till last year when they were disf for exercising their democratic right to cast a vote to decide on a political question. Good riddance and severing of all relationship with a crazy org!

2011 has definitely not been very good for me. 1968 must have been a very happy year for me as I turned five a year befor my dad started on the road of getting deceived by the WBTS from whence things have never been the same!

More questions to ponder,
- Even if Penn, Oxford or any other reputable university were to conduct research into the paranormal, would this not just be a bid to examine if there is something into the alleged phenomena and not a conclusion that the phenomena exists? Isn't all research a finding out and not a conclusion? Wouldn't any conclusions have to await the research's findings?

Wandering,
You have repeatedly pasted the same links as proof to support your position that credible sources in the names of Penn and Oxford universities are conducting research into the paranormal with the implication that they can only be doing so because paranormal activity is real.
Other members of this board have followed your links and found that the linked institutions do not indeed conduct such research.
Now my two cents worth of contribution is:
- What do you want us to find in the linked institutions' websites that those like kid who have visited them and already relayed to us what they have found may have missed? Since they did not find what you had said they would find, why don't you post what it is that they are not getting on those websites?
- As to the other links that you have provided to societies/associations of people interested or making allegations on para-psychological experiences, do you consider such alleged experiences to be on the same level with peer reviewed published research of the kind that we would expect from Penn and Oxford universities were they to conduct and publish such findings?
- Rather than keep re-posting the same links, can you post a summary of one specific peer reviewed published finding from a researcher at Penn or Oxford or any other reputable academic institution with and provide a link to the paper?

I grew up in the so called "truth" in the seventies after my father had been recruited into JWism a few years earlier. I guess many on this board will identify with me when I say that had WTS made this transcript known to my father, he most likely would not have become a JW and I along with my siblings would not have been brought up in this nonsense that has cost us very dearly.
To me, this shows the deliberate misleading of the entire JW populace by a small number of persons who deliberately undertook to mislead, misuse and waste the lives of others - the others being the entire population of JWs throughout the decades. Fredrick Franz, Corvington, Rutherford and a few others would most likely be among these culprits while Raymond Franz, Lyman Swingle and perhaps many others who came to serve on the GB after its establishment in the early 1970s were themselves unwitting victims of the great con pertuated by the likes of Rutherford and F. W. Franz. I'm of the view that some of those appointed into the 1970s GB may genuinely not have realized that they had been conned and were being used to perpetuate a con as Raymond Franz implicitly states in his CoC book. I however hypothesis that others among them had come to realize that they were perpetuating a con. I would place Karl F. Klein, Albert Schroeder, Lloyd Barry, Grant Suiter and Theodere Jaracz in this category.
Any thoughts or comments from others on this?

Little Toe: Are you likely to come to Kenya again? If so, I'd like to meet you. I'd very much like to physically meet other people who contribute on this board. With the exception of my family members whom I've assisted learn the truth about the borg, I'm yet to meet an ex-JW who knows the truth about the borg and I yearn to meet one if only to talk to somebody whom I can identify with.
As you can see on this topic there are only two people who have reported coming from Africa - South Africa while I come from and live in East Africa with little hope of physically connecting with them unless I make sufficient money to travel.
Lost & found: I've completed reading The God Delusion most of which I was able to identify and agree with. I just wish more people could read it with an open mind. Where in South Africa do you live?

Living Alone - Love it or Loathe it?
by Crumpet inwell i have been living alone now for a week for the first time in about 6 years and apart from one or two minor episodes i am really really enjoying the freedom of it.
i feel like a weight has been lifted.
i feel free again - a tiny bit lonely at night - but mostly i think i've recaptured that long lost spring in my step.

I'm single and live alone. I suffer from loneliness and feel a deep need for a spouse. I plan to get married and to live with my spouse. I hope I will enjoy living with my spouse when I eventually marry.
The diversity of what different people prefer or find themselves liking in this matter goes to show how diverse we all are. It shows how preposterous it was for a few men at the borg's pinnacle to take it upon themselves to dictate our lives!
