okay i figured it was time to "widen out" cybernetically speaking.
i am inactive now but have 28 years of jw experience, including bethel, ivcw, pioneering, eldering in spanish congregations, and "need greater" (unofficial missionary) time in paraguay (the country's only german-speaking group) and in dominican republic.. now that i've established my rather impressive credentials, allow me to bestow the formal vulcan benediction to all (if i can do it right).. <img src=" http://www.egreetings.com/e-products/m_postreply/card_gif/epgi1400.gif">

Mucho gusto en concerle. La cuenta de su abuelos es por cierto muy triste. Pero no me sorprende. Sin duda, si uno de el Cuerpo Gobernante tuvo que salir de Betel, no tendria que preocuparse asi con la problema de vivir. La facilidad de Patterson proveera retiro de lujo.

Sounds like the trend I saw developing when I was still active has progressed even further, lack of socialization opportunities. It would also tend to verify reports I've heard on other Boards.

While we're on the subject of sci-fi...check out this out: a sci-fi I'm reading on Mars colonization. The residents live in ticky-tacky hovels and slowly losing their minds from sensory deprivation. Sarah, the femme fatale of the story is awoken by an unexpexted knock on the door: ""two faces looked in on her...The eyes behind their matching square-rimmed glasses widened as they focused on the gun she was holding a few inches from their foreheads."Um, is this the Niemand residence?" The man to the left swallowed nervously. the two of them didn't appear to be twins, but looked as if they were trying to be. "If it's not, we're sorry...." "Maybe this is a bad time. Maybe we could come back....some other time.".........
....Seized by a dreadful suspicion, she refocused on the two men at her door. "You're not Jehovah's Witnesses, are you?" That would be all she needed right now, to get handed an animated Watchtower, complete with stereophonic sound effects triggered by the warmth of her thumb and forefinger. Another of the groups that had been seen recently, evangelizing through the emigrant colonies-she looked to see if one of them was carrying a miniature holographic projector suitable for evoking biblical dioramas in the corridor's thin, acrid-smelling air."

Hmm, maybe the future Guvbod, if the org still exists that long, will claim that the "New World" was finally there. Then they'd have to figure out how to convince the colonists that they were in a real "Martian Paradise".

Perhaps the rigid and authoritarian world of the Enterprise bears some resemblance to the WTS? Especially for bethelites living a semi-monastic life.
Seems many are fascinated by X-files as well. I think the asexual, emotionless relationship of agents Scully and Mulder reminds them of perhaps a young but jaded C.O. couple. The truth is out there!

Well, a basic major stress burnout from trying to do what i thought was necessary to be a christian, according to the Society. From the time I was baptised, 1967, I was assured both verbally and in print that it was God's promise that the end would come in my natural lifetime. I bought it. Once I bought it, my logical conclusion was that a 100% effort and dedication to the Cause was necessary to help save lives. After 28 years of pushing myself to the max, the Society decided that God hadn't promised this after all...I'm referring to the infamous fiasco on the elastic "generation of 1914" that wasn't supposed to die off before the end. This set off a tripwire in my mind that resulted in the total destruction of any credibility the Society still had. It also touched off a serious stress breakdown, divorce, and psychotic depression that landed me in the nuthatch thinking I was the Antichrist and that the police and apostates were after me. That was about three years ago. I have recovered from that and moved on. life is good now.
