  Snoozy I am so sorry to hear this. This is terrible news and I feel awful for you. Do you have any support for you? I don't know anything about support groups, although I think it's a good place to start. Take care . . . .

  IF YOU COULD TELL A JW OFF, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

  after reading all the sad stories of how some here have been abused in a multitude of ways, if you had the opportunity now, would you speak up?

  if you tended to be shy or insecure, would you want to speak out now, if you could?

  I already did that. One of the COs that stopped by my house once to "encourage" me to shut up (or else), I let fly. I think I used 5 of the 7 Deadly Words on him. Then I wrote a hot letter to the elder that accomanied him and asked him if the letters F.O. meant anything to him. You'd think that would've helped, but it didn't. It's no fun punching a blob of Jell-o.

  WTS visits Apostate Website! (again)

  in february i reported that the watchtower society visited my website (click here for the february post).

  i think they were a little frightened by this exposure and masked their identity while surfing apostate websites because i never saw them back in my stats.

  but today i caught them again:.

  Carl Sagan's remarks

  "they announced that the world had in fact ended in 1914, and if the rest of us hadn't noticed, that was our lookout.

  it is astonishing in the face of such transparent evasions that this religion has any adherents at all.

  but religions are tough.

  I loved "Cosmos", I even went out and bought the music by Vangelis. After reading the whole quote, I must admit I feel embarrassed. I believed what I wanted to believe and saw what I wanted to see. I look back on my life as a Witness and all I can feel is that sense of embarrassment at how I duped myself to believe what they taught.
