i couldn't stand it.

never heard any of it played live, which i imagine would be much better, but still... i find it annoying.

for people who like that type of music, i guess it was good.

i came on jwd a year ago tomorrow, having realized that jws were not the truth, quite painfully, on march 29, 2008. i was here within a week, and within 2 months i was officially dad by my congregation.. ever since joining, i have never actually wrote down a comprehensive look at why i left the organization.

what doubts caused me to leave?

why did a gilead grad leave what i once considered so precious?.

a study gave me a glass of water which was brownish looking....tasted awful.

i was reviewing some ex-scientology sites and on one site they have a "morgue.

" in it, they give the names of all the people who have died due to scientology.

it made me think that it would be neat if we could set up a "in memorium" board for all those who have lost their life due to jws screwed up policies - blood, organ failure, suicide, etc.

(a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).

this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.
