I have just come to realise that one of my biggest charecter flaws, is also one of my best, I am rebellious, impulsive, and self reliant. I could give up my political beleifs, my love of punk rock and heavy metal, leave my hedonistic lifestyle behind, loose my friends and family, become voluntarily indoctronated and enslaved. Yet those same bad qualitys, would save me, and be the making of me, because as readilly as I joined JW,s I could also leave because as I mentioned before, I am rebellious, impulsive, and self reliant. Unfortunately Im also prone to be an asshole and alienate people( a fact that my closest friends delight in pointing out) Still I apologise learn and move on. So, I would be intrested to find out if other peoples character flaws had an unexpected upside ?

If i can add my tuppence worth, I think your analysis is spot on,ultimately we have to have faith that god exists, ok, you could argue we have an abundance of circumstantial evedence, but you still need faith. There is no doubt that the GB exists,we have there names, ages blah blah. So to have doubts about an entity we cant see or prove,is understandable,easpecially as there is an overwhelming belief in evolution, taught and promoted everywhere. It,s perhaps understandable that some may doubt, even temporarily,as your example implies.However to doubt the voracity of the the Old Age Pensioners, in Brooklyn smelling of stale piss, with prostate problems. Is however a judicial matter, PLEASE how can anyone beleive this crap let alone condone it, I inadvertantly ventured into the Scottish Convention in Perth Scotland , I ventured into a world unseen,We the little people, nerver see, These C--ts living a life off Rutherford , I thought I was in a different world, Not for me me, never again, I will never pay for these parasites, to villify me, and live in luxury. and I pay them to come here, and chastise me, Fuck off !!!

that (the lack of love) was the clincher for me, as my best friend, a MS, at the time told me, he had never met a group of people who were nastier to each other than JW,s. Lovebombed to death until baptised, then cast aside like shit, when they could no longer count their time, and I am just as giulty, looking down on others(non jw,s) as poor unfortunates, describing everyone else as walking corpses, boy was i an asshole, and still see that arrogance in most of them today, love is an alien concept to them,Power, status,jelousy,backstabbing, for me are the true characteristics of a witness.On a lighter note its a beautiful day here in Ediburgh,My wifes birthday, hope your family are well.

big thumbs up to apple for their courage in embracing their lgbt employees in this way.
as part of the it gets better campaign to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth, employees at apple have created a video with their stories about coming out and overcoming adversity, offering a rare glimpse into the personal lives of employees of the notoriously secretive company.. .

Hello and welcome,I am sorry you have had such a tough time of it, try not to be too hard on your mum, that org can with enough time, manipulate and crush people beyond recognition, Im not being patronising when tell you ,your one tough young lady,I was 29 when I got baptised, I served with the British Army, in Londonderry at the hight of the (troubles), I was a boxer,and the people in the Org ripped ME to pieces and I ended up clinically deppressed,some of them, not all, are indeed wicked. I take my hat off to you,you have more guts and balls(sorry !) than I ever did at your age.Once again a very warm welcome.
