  Simon has already said this: This is not an ex-jw board. At least it's not intended to be. But a discussion board centered around jehovah's witnesses.

  Truth is, there are alot of people here. I've seen a few active jw's, alot of ex-jw's, a few muslims and more athiests.

  Anyway, I may disagree with COJ, but I'm not going to mock and jeer them. Laughing and "screaming" all loud, shooting spit wads across the room.

  They've put forth the invitation, whatever their intent/reason may be. I have the choice to either look at it or not. Ask questions or comment. Answer some questions... "tell me why". Figure out where their coming from and then let them know where I'm coming from.

  Honestly, I commend Blondie in her approach. If anything, that makes me respect a person more.

  I watched that interview a few days ago on BET and then on MTV. I knew of Ja being raised as a JW along with Xzibit.

  I really don't know what to say about all of that. But alot of people can't seem to believe that his mother was disfellowshipped for only having a drink or two. She must've done something more... but, I've seen it happen one too many times.

  Nah shotgun, you're cool.

  I think I will send them to freeminds or giving them one of Ray's books to read. But, that may have to wait a while...

  Phantom,

  I take full responsibility for my actions. It was a mistake I made because I acted on assumption...

  But I still have the right to speak out... and that's what I did. Without pranking or harrassing. I spoke out how I felt and released my anger.... but I always try to end it on a positive note.

  And flower...

  Please don't accuse me of judging... I have many reasons to be angry. MANY. You don't know my history and that I do relate to many because I've gone through the same things. But I choose not the HATE. And that is never the answer. And I'm not going to sit by and excuse and encourage someone to seek revenge. I try to be a POSITIVE influence. Not sitting by telling them it's right to lash out... maybe in the beginning... I've had a period where I wanted to. But to go in circles and dwell on it everyday.... no. It's self destructive.

  You only make yourself sick dwelling on negativity. I only started feeling better and more free when I learned to Relax, Relate and Release.... and it ain't easy.

  Picketers and leaving Silent Lambs on the doors... that is done out of love and concern for others. I believe Bill's approach is the same as leaving watchtowers and tracts on people's doors and then leaving.

  Picketers are a little more outspoken in their approach. Some go too far. But for the most part, they stick to a plan of getting a message out. And they go out there trying to reach people.

  Pulling pranks and harrassing people? Is not. It's self absorbed and centered around wanting revenge. "If I can hurt someone as much as I hurt... I'll feel better." Which is false. That is not truly healing and healthy therapy and I wouldn't sit by and encourage someone to do that.

  It's kind of hypocritical for some people to suggest to read Ray Franz Book "Crisis of Conscience" and "In Search of Christian Freedom" when that's the very thing he speaks of...
