Grace Gough ("Mouthy") and the 83 Tapes
by JW_Researcher in
1. jw
2. friends
grace gough (“mouthy’) sent me 83 cassette tapes 16 years ago (2006).. .

when she sent them, i understood them to be ‘testimonies’ of jws who became christians.

there are some labeled “so-and-so’s testimony” so at least some are that.. others appear to be talks, like the morning session of the 1981 “ex –jws for jesus” convention.

Thinking about the faders in Russia

imagine that you are fading and then, one day, the government bans your religion.. you no longer should have to fake it.

your fade has now been done for you.. but, imagine the fader who now must attend bunker meetings just to maintain being part of the jw family.. for me, the ban would be my ticket out, but i imagine that some faders in russia are still forcing themselves to attend underground meetings.

for those faders in unbanned countries: would a ban be your ticket to religious freedom?.

grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.

i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.
