Evidentally he's quite the prolific writer if this is the same man. It would seem that he is.
I like the several reviews that describe him as "naive". He's also an agnostic.

i just showed the (bill bowen) cnn article to my father(active jw), and he started defending the jws before he even finished reading it.
why are they always so averse to looking at possible flaws?
its frustrating to see them constantly defending the faith, blindly.
That's what JW.com is, deddaisy.

friday, may 1st, 1992, i drove my kids to the motel we stayed at for the circuit assembly in woodburn, oregon.
i told them that i was not going to attend the assembly at all.
on saturday morning, may 2nd, i dropped them off at the front of the assembly hall, making this the very first day where i ceased going to meetings.. driving away from woodburn, i headed to the beach at lincoln city, oregon where i took time to walk a long beach - alone - enjoying the wind breeze through my hair - the sand move between my toes - the sea gulls chanting and squeaking - the steady roll of the waves - the gentle roaring sound as they cascaded onto the shore and an occasional sip of scotch.. it was the first day of the rest of my life ... the beginning of having my life back ... the beginning of personal freedom of the mind and heart.. today, ten years later - i still can feel the fresh breeze and the sand ... and i have no regrets, no doubt, no fear ... i need not look back anymore.
Congradulations to you Sir!
What a coincidence it would seem that you celebrate your 10 years out and I'm celebrating my recent promotion to Emperor.

I love Jehovah. He thinks of everything! By not using our computers/Internet, we save on Electricity. What a loving arrangement Jehovah has provided through the faithful and discreet slave.
Praise Jah!!

hi everyone, i too have been lurking for a few weeks and thought it was time i made myself known.
i am not a jw but i am married to a man who is from a multi-generational family of jw's (although he has not been to meetings since he was old enough to object).
although i have never had any direct involvement with the organisation itself, i find my life is constantly infulenced by these people who judge, shun and avoid my husband and i (i guess they don't want to mix with "worldy people" such as us).
hmm, 10 readers and not one person has said hi. Oh well, I guess I'll have to be the first.
Uhhh... Prisca, she did post at 3am in the morning.
HI! Welcome to the board and thanks for posting!! I'm glad to read it. Remember, you're not the only one!

remember being a jw youth and fooling around with another jw youth and how you knew it was wrong?
i think that was the the best feeling i have ever had.
it was so exciting.
Now that I think about it, that explains alot about my sexuality. I only seem to like it when it's "wrong" or "bad" or "naughty".
hmmm....
