so, i will be down and out for awhile after a little surgery this week and i am trying to get a few books to keep myself amused and i am looking for suggestions on something you may have read recently and enjoyed.
i prefer non-fiction, but will consider reading anything highly recommended, as long as it contains at least a spark of truth.
well, i will recommend a book to you alla few days ago, i finished reading into the wild by jon krakauera biographical story about a young man who, after graduating college, got rid of all of his belongings and hitch-hiked across the country in search of jack london-esque adventures.
I Love Sylvia Browne, After a DF sister told me she was psychic I said yeah sure.
Then I saw Sylvia on Montel and have read quite a few of her books. The one I started with was The Other Side and Back.
This will totally open your eyes to the holographic universe ..
Oh the sister, she sure is psychic, she can sense certain spirits as well as smell them

any suggestion on how to resign as a jw?.
what would you say in your registration letter?.
what i wanna do is resign with no question ask.
hello,
We both wrote disassociation letters telling why we no longer chose to be part of the organization. The pedophile issue, how wrong family members are treated that leave as well as the governing body having no more spiritual insight than you or I.
The same day that letters were mailed to a few elders, letters were also sent to a dozen others, who I felt Should Know why.
my husband had a meeting with them, brought a digital recorder. I refused to go
Its now been 3 years, 3 years of being free of these false prophets. My family is sooo much happier.
If you haven't yet read Crisis of Conscience and in Search Of Christian Freedom, please do.

one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.
they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.
i was once counselled for joking around too much.
the man-made rules they make up are different in each congregation.
The elder that studied with us would tell us we shouldn't give our kids kool-aid, he would say this as he drank coffee with it's 400 plus identified chemicals in it.
The other one was some co's wife insisting it is tacky to wear boots going door to door. This was in North Dakota where winters are freezing.

this happened in the mid 80's at a circuit assembly in wisconsin.
the "brothers" decided they had the solution to the long lines for the ladies room.
they went in there and covered the mirrors with brown paper.
This is so funny, I had never heard of the brown paper over the mirrors before.
Where else can a male having the career he does and being in the WTS make such a domineering/chauvanistic decision to put up brown paper on the mirrors to keep the lines moving.
I am so glad we are OUT

for me it was 3 months, Jerry was slightly more because he was seeing things earlier than I and kept it mum.

took a while, but i got approved for 2 brand new hearing aids for free!!
the clinic across from the homeless shelter where i am staying told me today that my application for 2 brand new hearing aids got approved and i am to report to the clinic tomorrow morning at 10 am to be fitted for new ear molds.. still no luck on jobs!
i went to the speedway gas station 6 weeks ago and came back 3 weeks later to check on the status of my application and someone lost it.
That"s Great Neal!
Maybe this is a sign of more good things to come your way, Don't forget the power of prayer.

what happened or was said, that made you decide, enough is enough, i am out of here ?????
?
First it was date-line and watching how the victims are treated. Made me SICK! Then going to silentlambs website and seeing how huge a problem it is. Reading COC, then finding out from their own literature, ( you can find it in the WT 3/1/79 page 23 ) which states: the writings of the christian greek scriptures were inspired and infallible but that is not true of other writings since. That did it. Amost coming up on a year now, with NO regrets.

well i went to the assembly yesterday, to see what bullshit they'd come up with this year to be upbuilt and i certainly won't go next year wasn't disappointed!
did you know that there are (gasp!
) apostates on the internet??!!
Oh Mary thank you so much for sharing that info. I will be careful going on the internet.
I'm glad to say that so far I have run into one of the best sites out there. It has so many Great People on it. I know it's the truth they tell because I share some of the same things. glad to be here.

sadly, at times, we lose good posters because we have an acrimonious spirit.
i wonder whether we might actually debate or argue, simply for the thrill of trying to outdo the other person(s).
in the spirit of rodney, "can't we just get along?
.
Anyone who writes threads that are in an argumentative tone and vicious should find another thing to do with their lives and stay off this board.
I saw a quote on this once:
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge: argument is an exchange of ignorance.
