  i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.

  like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.

  he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

  Well done, Paul! What an adorable and SMART son!

  I believe that children don't fear unless they have been taught to fear.

  Dear AudeSapere, ShirleyW, blondie and Iamallcool,

  Thanks for your responses. All consistent! So that means the big switch --- from serving to being served --- happened while I was "outside" the organization, after leaving home and getting married --- but before getting sucked back in after I discovered I had married an addict and found myself pregnant and didn't want my kids to be addicts like their dad.

  Don't ask, you don't wanna know.

  I'm out now from all of the above and that's the important thing.

  Thanks again!

  Hi Clarity, It feels wonderful to have published my book. More than I imagined it would. I described my upbringing so that readers (even nonjws) could understand life inside the religion. Because a cult mentality is seriously twisted and very different from an authentic personality. Rather than "helping exjws," I have found that more nonjws than exjws are reading it by a huge margin! But the nonjws often have jw relatives that are causing problems for the rest of the family --- and that is why these nonjws are curious to know what is behind the chaos. They seem to be searching for an explanation. Another thing, some exjws still have jw relatives close by and don't want to get caught reading "apostate" literature. In my own situation, I had a lot of fear to work through before ever going public. I have quite a number of JW relatives, including an elder.

  Hi love2Bworldly, Thanks for your suggestions for marketing "Phoenix of Faith." It is helpful because after all I am doing my own marketing and distribution. You know, I had good training from the jws to get book sales! LOL!!!

  hugs to you both, Clarity and love2Bworldly. Thanks for your comments!

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?
