If I were to write out my experience it would be near word for word what you have just written.
You are not alone, we have all been where you are. I've been out since 2012 and things only get better, much better!

Has anybody watched Making A Murderer on Netflix ?
by smiddy ini watched this 10 part series the other day and i was appalled at the investigation conducted by the police , especially the way they conducted their investigation with brendan vassey , his interrogation and obvious manipulation by the police officers , i couldn`t believe he was convicted , and sentenced to a jail term.. to any intelligent person with any sense of compassion could see brendan vassey was intellectually disadvantaged , yet these police officers exploited that failing of this boy .he should never have been convicted , his case should have been thrown out of court , the fact that he has been in jail over 10 years is a gross miscarriage of justice .. the conviction of steven avery seemed to me to be a set up also from what was presented on netflix ,.
i am no fan of steven avery ,i think he is a bit of a hillbilly type , that has had no problem with cruelty to animals , which i abhor ,yet i do think he has been railroaded in this conviction ,while the real killer and rapist goes free .. what are your thoughts .

There was also no explanation for why the woman's body was ever inside of her own car in the first place if the car stayed on that property and was simply moved from the crime scene to be hidden on the lot.
Actually, it was not on the documentary but if you watch the videos of Brendan's confession on YouTube Brendan confessed they put the body in the trunk as they were going to dump it in a lake but then realized the body of water wasn't deep enough. Which is strange if they are both innocent...

Yes I watched it, compelling viewing...a few pieces of info have come out and were missed by the documentary but in essence most agree both are innocent but ALL agree the case was mishandled to the point it was biased.
The press conference when Kratz said "children should not listen to this" and gave a story of what happened with no proof defies belief and tainted everyone's view.
What is interesting is Kratz was forced to resign after a sexting scandal and addicton to sex & prescribed drugs.
I see Kathleen Zellner has picked up Steven's case, she is an expert in wrong convictions and has had 17 overturned. She says the testing they can do in 2016 is far better than what it was in 2005 and it was this testing in 2005 that got him out after 18 years when there was no testing in 1985.
If they can find EDTA in the blood in the car then case is over and he is free...Brendan should be released now no matter what...
For me, the way the brother and ex are with this seems well shifty to me...the ex and the brother know the Dassy's, they used to hang out together at school.

Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.
by blondie ini have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.
i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.
there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

Kim & Mike...Cedars...CoC farce...I've had enough of the exjw community...half the people are still warped from their b0rg experience and can't think straight.
Even worse if my still-in family had doubts and went searching and found all this crap they would never leave as they would see this toxic exjw attitude...pathetic.

What are the biggest holes in evolution?
by shadow inhow honest are the proponents of evolution?
idk but curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?

The issue lies with the term "Evolution" itself...I've spoken to many a dub who is so confused as to how anyone can believe Evolution because they will say "But it is impossible for life to start from nothing".
Thus, they mix up Abiogenesis and Evolution.
Evidence for Evolution exists...whilst Abiogenesis, there is no proof, or none on the same level as Evolution.
Even the WT gets confused at these terms as they say Evolution is false yet happily admit that species can adapt to the environment or other factors..they simply refuse to acknowledge cross-species evolution of course...

Mike and Kim feel a certain way and act a certain way, some like, some do not.
Cedars...same thing.
Best to have both doing activist work if it helps anyone.
What is NOT cool is when "apostates" fight internally and that becomes public knowledge, it will just feed a dub who is doubting that all apostates are indeed bitter.

There is no set time, I know 2 couples who conspired to swap partners and did so, got DF and were reinstated within a year and then they did marry each others partners and all 4 back in the same cong.
It really is dependant on the local body of elders view on things, the book gives no time reference, the elders should being going along the lines of would your reinstatement offend anyone or upset anyone.

Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy
by cofty ini intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

Sorry but I see no "evidently" in your opening post...
Ergo nothing you have posted can be true...
