i have been out of commission for several weeks.
back around the first of the year i developed an infection in my left foot.
due to diabetes and poor circulation the doctors were unable to save my foot and so i received a below the knee amputation.
Sorry to hear about that,.. hang in there.

i am a long time lurker who has finally decided to post.
i am still in along with my wife, kids and extended family.
i am in my 40s and was raised in the org.
Welcome,..
We've been waiting for you,...
Take it slow with your family, if your like me, initially I did not take into account that I had been doubting for years and when I found out some of the things that the WTBTS were guilty of I thought that my wife could take it all in at once, I was wrong and had to slow it way down until she was able to handle it.
She's out now thankfully.
You may already know about some of the books that will help get you through this mind mess and also will help with getting your family out, but just in case you have not seen these recommendations yet, here they are.
Jwfacts.com - Lots of great research at this site.

op based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.
hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.
(i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.

Thanks for the link,..

this is a project i've started to prove i'm not an apostate: mapping bite to wts.
part one is the first criteria of cult control, behaviour control.
feel free to add to these subheadings too, as many of you were in a lot longer than me and have been in bethel or been elders.. .
Check out Brad Zooks channel regarding how the BITE model applies to the Jws.
It is a 4 part series that I think you will find interesting.

i'm skeptical because i think defective proteins limit longevity but i think the above could greatly improve aging prospects.. .

I researched resvertrol a few years ago and althought I know nothing about living to that span in life I do know that the company that discovered the link between the skin of the red grape where I believe the ingredient comes from was night put by a large drug company for over 750 million dollars.
There are some videos on YouTube like 60 minutes that talk about the original discovery.
I actually take it myself as the research, if its not tainted are promising.
Who knows but I do not poo poo things now until I do some research.
