I don't think it would be that hard at all for some ex-jw's to have multiple personas on a DB. Many of us learned to live a double or even triple life before finally leaving the bOrg.

How Many People Could Invent A Different Same-Forum Persona?
by Englishman inoccasionally, we get people joining the forum who already have an account here.
actually, one somewhat entertaining brit has had dozens of accounts opened and then closed in the last few months.
now i'm not referring to the old days when you might have found, for example, simon and simon 1 in the members list.

What is Creativity?
by onacruse in.
some people say it's their music; expression of heart and soul.. some people say it's their research; expression of their mind.. some people say it's fishing; absence of expression of anything...just living in the moment.. some people say "it's because i'm on a db, expressing myself.
for myself: creativity is finding something where nothing was before...and then discovering that it was already discovered.

Creativity would be crossing the boundaries of logic to escape from the constraints of our own human limitations. When you can see beyond that which is tangible and embrace it.

There is a clear pattern to the WTS's B.S. It goes a bit like this:
The light has gotten brighter.
The light bulb has burned out.
Someone in the writing department changes the bulb.
The light is suddenly bright again.

The truth is out there.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT WARNING
by Pleasuredome in.
in order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average intellect to display a warning flag, comprising of a red cross on a white background, attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle.
for drivers of exceptionally low intellect, additional flags are required..

Is this anything like 'Here's your sign'?

Idyllic paradise breeds idiots
by frankiespeakin inobstacles that we face in life have a tendency to relly get our attention, and tax our knowledge,and wisdom to overcome them.
when we're faced with problems we have to figure out solutions.
no problems,, no need for solutions.. evolution, the survival of the fittest, or perhaps sometimes survival of the smartest,, this has to be the force behind the development of the greater human brain apart from other animals.

You can't have paradise. Paradise is different for every person. Hence the expression 'One man's heaven is another man's hell'.

Hilary-
Nice to get an inteligent, well thought out response. I would only like to add the following:
I was not attempting to asert that the U.S. was not without fault. IT IS. I was hoping to point out that most of the countries who so vehemently speak out against our current conflict are countries that would likely not even exist at this point in time had the U.S. and its people not offered thier support and aid during the two world wars. France, Germany, and Russia lead the way in criticizing the U.S. for our use of force in Iraq claiming that we simply want control of Iraqs oil supplies, yet thier very reason for wanting Saddam in power was over oil. All three of those nations had contracts with Saddam himself. Yet they declare thier disgust for war and hold thier noses up at the imperialist Americans who are forcing the world to thier way of life. I've had bowel movments that were more compelling than that tired old song and dance.
Americas foriegn policy has certainly become a troubling issue. On this I agree wholeheartedly with you. Its a delicate balance trying to maintain you place in the world without stepping on too many toes. Who can say whay good foriegn policy is? Is it possible to please enough of the worlds population to give yourself a good standing in thier eyes without simultaneously giving away all that you have worked for as a nation?
Lastly, I realize this was not a polished book report presentation. But I was not trying to quote from some history book. Just to express my concern for the bashing America's name has been taking of late.

Valis-
I post far more frequently on JWO then here. This started as an opportunity to get various points of view on what I had to say. Simon and Eman turned it into something else. Although it should be noted that at least on JWO I have gotten some honest replies to my post. Not bitter diatribes from small individuals resentful of those who have "Strayed from the flock" to quote an old JW line.
As for my career, I can assure you that I do not feel underappreciated nor do I need your condolences (or should that be condescension). My quarterly bonus check for 100% on-time delivery and safe driving took care of that.
Has anyone actually read what I wrote? I notice than Simon and Company are certainly para-phrasing parts of it, but certainly butchering it none the less. Was I unclear in the spirit in which it was written? Did no one understand that I was merely using a little life experience to explain my point of increased ignorancy, apathy, and selfishness in the general population of America and western civilization?
Perhaps some whistle blower (Blow Jobber more like it) that spies on JWO gave certain members of this forum an abridged version with just enough actual info to throw childish barbs?
My god, and this brain trust questions my intelligence?

Englishman-
Whoa! Did you think that up all by yourself?
Simon-
How the hell did you come to that conclusion? You're as bad at paraphrasing as the writing comittee in Brooklyn. Did you even read what I wrote? or did your "Good Buddy" Eman send you a candygram to tell you someone wrote something unfavorable about you? If you have such a low threshhold for idiots how come you haven't deleted yourself?
