  and for those reasons, coj wanted in the beginning, to stay with the organization, just like bill bowens.

  that is all carl wanted.

  yes, as members of the governing body, they knew full well, exactly what carl's writings meant.

  what would make a man throw away all his earthly riches to expose the cult?

  what did ray franz have to gain by leaving in total poverty?

  if ray franz had stayed in place, he could have lived like a god, why did he leave?

  He just intentionally leave the GB.

  But he was pushed away from the WT.

  But I think he always knew what would happen if he declined the GB, he just don't liked confrontation, so he act passive and let the WT machine do the service.

  He was a great man, I discover the TTATT through him. Maybe without him I would left anyway but he certainly made my exit much more faster.

  it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

  Once I was cleaning the KH and I decided to play my Men At Work CD in the KH's sound system.

  An elder came and it was just like I was adoring the golden calf.

  In the 90's something like that inside a KH could end in genocide.

  I wonder how I would react to this if I was still in. I would play Phineas and the spear. Poor old timers...

  I just can't believe in my eyes.

  This is not the same religion that called me an apostate.

  The INTJ Personality Type, (and those close to it)

  i am compelled to write a bit about this at this late hour here in the us, because it is keeping me up.. the recent four year old thread on the briggs myers personality type test that was dug up, produced an interesting finding.

  many here, (at least tested informally for), the intj personality type.

  intjs also do not understand irrational behavior particularly well at all.. why does this matter?

  Yeah online tests are jokes. But the theory is amazing.

  Is This Not Blaspheme?

  is this not blaspheme?.

  there three broad views on (the purpose of) life:.

  1) life arose out of nothing and will return to it.

  1) Life arose out of nothing and will return to it

  This is the purest truth I know.

  It makes me responsible to myself and to life itself, because it's a very rare and ethereal thing.

  God is a collateral effect from primitive minds.

  What do Baptists believe?

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  You can't change your type.

  But you can fake for short periods of time. It demands lots of mental energy, it literally gives you headaches.

  Type is a complex mix between nature and nurture (before 5 or 6 yo).

  You can't reset your early childhood and your genome, YET.
