  ... to do the invocation at obama's swearing in on january 20, 2009?.

  gregor asked this on bts's thread, but i am afraid it may get buried underneath all the other stuff.

  what denomination is rick warren and why all the blather about him giving the inaugural invocation?

  Because Atheists and White Liberals saw Obama's election as a slam dunk against religion, only to find out that they have traded one preacher for another, with similar values at that !!

  boy..just when i thought things couldnt get weirder in my life...i spent a whole day designing a christmas newsletter with colorful pictures and stories about what my kids and family have been doing, and the election and you know...year end things and greetings, to send out.

  i do this every year.

  this year i had to file bankruptcy in august and decided to email the newsletter to save money.

  So this man has been your father in law for 22 years and you haven't even had a conversation to him face to face, and he wouldnt know you from squat? That seems a little odd.

  Are you still considered an outcast because of your JW past?

  even though i no longer proclaim being a jw it seems to have tarnished my relationship with others, including family and even co-workers.

  .

  i feel as tho i am still treated differently than others..

  I am an outcast to the the atheist and "alternative lifestyle" crowd, but no loss there.

  Not me, I can walk into almost any church and be treated with the utmost respect., same with my non-jw family, and my friends up in Kentucky.

  as far as doctrine goes, what finally convinced you that this isn't the truth?

  When they changed their doctrine on the 1914 generation, up until that time, while I still had alot of discontent with the cult itself, I still could not rule it out, until they themselves changed that doctrine.

  i know it's old for us, but for me i never stop being scared.. remember the old paradise book, how a little kid and a bicycle were going down a big crack in the earth?

  remember the picture of satan on fire?

  i never forgot that stuff.

  I no longer believe in their concept of Armageddon, so I guess it doesn't bother me anymore.

  .

  would you welcome him with open arms?.

  it depends, but I definitely would be interested in hearing what he has to say. If he is sincere and fully repented of his involvement in the JW's, I would be more inclined to welcome him.

  Six Screens comments on controversial conference call

  by kool aid man06 in

  without question, the ravyn guiliani interview on the six screens conference call created lots of controversy.

  ravyn's experience with sra (satanic ritual abuse) was instantly rejected by so many.

  it was as though people pre-judicated her story before she had a chance to tell it.

  I agree with you StAnn, I didn't listen to this particular call, but from what I have learned about the WT, very little would surprise me anymore. 10 years ago, if someone told me there was a pedophile problem in the JW's, I wouldn't have believed it. 10 years ago I never believed the WT would have anything to do with the UN.

  The Reason ex-JWs Don't Communicate Well With Others

  i've been giving this a lot of thought.

  i'm thinking that, as a born-in, i was raised thinking that everybody who wasn't a dub was stupid and i had to go door-to-door to enlighten them.

  and that the ones who were so stupid and stubborn as to not respond to my message (which was all of them, lol!

  We did, but then again, you aren't like alot of XJW's. You are one of the exceptions.
