"ryan wondered how difficult it was for the soviets.
" (who had defected) "probably harder than anything he had ever done-their bridges were burned.
they had cast themselves away from everything they had known, trusting that what they found would be better.
Very good point.. I can see the paralells too.
Enjoy the book!
remember the book "men are from mars, women are from venus"?.
well, here's a prime example offered by an english.
story: (first paragraph by rebecca).
LOL
Well I write and I'd never torture myself by letting a man write with me!!!
hee hee
i mentioned this topic on sleepy's thread but i'd like to have some input please from others on this board.
what i want to know is this: there are so many books available on the net that have been written by other ex-jw's who have been there and know the truth about the borg (other than rf).
what criteria do stores like barnes & noble and christian books stores use to stock particular book titles?
I think it's a great idea. I'm on my way now to go pick of CofC.. I ordered it 2 weeks ago from Barnes and Noble. They say its hard to get a copy and they dont publish it anymore.. that is discouraging.
I think it should be easier to get access to stories about people that lived through the Watchtower experience.
you may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.
Outta, no matter who wrote it.. thank you for posting it. It was so beautiful..
Please post more when you can, I really appreciate it!

Gaila, very beautifully spoken. I couldnt have said it better.
Can I print this and save it? It is priceless!
ummmmmmmm it really does make you worry for the sanity of these people.. the watchtower january 15, 2000 you can know the future!
(divination?).
p18 para 17, the question is: how did certain brothers in el salvodor use ingenuity to preach to a man who at first did not want to hear the kingdom message?.
ROTFLMAO..
This is a new one...

part 3: the october surprise!
jws were very eager about world events peace and security: the worldwide pronouncement of peace and security has been a prophetic mantra of the jw religion since before i became associated in 1968. and now, at long last, it was finally upon us!
true, 1975 had not brought armageddon, just as 1914 did not bring it either.
I'm waiting for the next installment!!
This is great... best story I've read in the longest!
I've never read a story that I could relate to so much...
Keep em coming! ....
part 2: torn between two worlds .
in late november 1989 we decided to visit our new town, and see our new house.
we scoped out the small town for its amenities, and this included a visit to the kingdom hall where we would eventually attend.. hindsight, being 20-20, i regret now that i did not try to get my family out of the organization before the move.
A wonderful read.. this book would be a best seller, especially with exJWj's.
Dont keep us waiting!! Where's the rest? Do you write it as you go? Or is it all written down somewhere?
I love it... I can relate very well to it!
i've always felt that the adult jws got off pretty easily compared to jw kids.. for instance: .
my dad went to work, and didn't bother his co-workers with jw stuff.
it wasn't allowed.
Lee, I'm so happy for you.. what a great attitude you have. Those are 2 lucky girls, plus your granddaughter, to have a mom like you!
Jan, LMBO .. where'd you get that? Too funny!
