  Sam,

  Welcome! The only advice I have is to lose, as fast as you can, the loaded and meaningless JW language, including words like spiritual and truth.

  When you do you will find your path forward much easier.

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  Viv!!!

  Be back, please! I'm super, doing my best to occasionally annoy the good people on this site while walking Simon's line to keep from getting booted! Hope you are well. The site misses you. I miss you.

  this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.

  when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.

  so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.

  Kate,

  You've always led with your heart. That is both endearing and frustrating. Your courage to lock wits with Cofty on a repeated basis has my admiration. That you do so while maintaining composure suggests you have more emotional intelligence than you give yourself credit.

  Your reasons for being on the site are typical and much more common than mine, which is a big reason I at times come across as an arrogant, uncaring ass.

  I left the cult over 20 years ago and immediately immersed myself in much more important pursuits, such as raising my beautiful brats, going to college, Forrest Gumping my way to excellent adventure, traveling, and THE most important one: spending time with a wide variety of hot girls with big, um, well you know, in short skirts.

  It wasn't until 3 years ago I had anything to do with the cult, and that was when I joined this site.

  I'm arrogant enough to think I have something positive to share. That's it. If I sometimes seem to lack the depth of feeling for the broken, the misfits and the perpetual victims coming out of the Dark Tower, that is much of the reason why.

  That, and sometimes I'm just an ass.

  Possible Military Coup in Turkey!

  by cofty in

  if this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.

  europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....

  2 things.

  1. Erdogan is using democray to create a personal kingdom along the same lines as every other Arab and Islamic dictator the past 50 years. That 700M $ palace he is building for himself replete with gold plumbing is more like Baghdad, Riyadh, Damascus and those in Egypt and Libya under Mubarik and Khadafi than Bonn, Paris, London and Washington DC.

  He has no intention of leaving it. And like Saddams final years his rule is becoming more Islamist by the day. The word democracy is loosely applied to Erdogan

  2. What we have found out about Gulen the last few days suggests US intelligence has been monitoring his every email, phone call, text and conversation for a long time. He would be a treasure trove of intel. The 2 way communications between him and whomever in Turkey or anywhere else would be gold and make up for a lack of human intel on the ground, which is always the major and critical gap for Intel collection. No intel agency would pass up such an opportunity.

  she turned one today, and 36 earlier this week.

  we planned a big party, big for two people that have never thrown a party before.

  we rented a church fellowship hall because 1. it was nice and big and affordable and 2. it was kind of awesome to throw a party in a place we would have never ventured in our previous life.

  The West's underwheliming response is enough to anger Erdogan.Without a doubt he is in the process of torturing, I mean interrogating, the military leaders responsible.

  He will want to ask Obama if the US had Intel on the attempted coup. I believe he has already closed the airbase the US was using.

  The US should be smart enough to have rock solid deniability. If not, the coup leaders aren't the only ones acting like Keystone Cops.

  Either way, Erdogan will retreat further into Islamville, purge the military further and make his dual path toward the EU/ NATO and Sharia fundamentalism ever harder to travel.

  Maybe that was the plan, make him choose. What a mess.
