Where does responsibility lie?
by joelbear ini have a new line of thought that i am applying to myself.
i emphasize that, because it may or may not be relevant to others.. i am making a strong attempt to stop blaming the wts for the things i missed out on.
i am finding it much more empowering to say, "i decided not to go to college.

by TheApostleAK ini'm an unbaptised publisher at the moment and next month i'm thinking of doing the amount of hours that a pioneer does.
do you lot reckon it would be worthwhile for me to do it?

What have you been up to?
by ShaunaC inlife as a jw is very...well...sheltered.
many experiences are outright condemned.
still, when others don't have specific rules against them, we more often than not, at least i did, choose not to engage in them so as not to stumble someone who would not approve.. very soon after my exodus from the wt i decided that life is an adventure.

This is what the Society does to people
by rem ini found the terse, typed letter displayed above sitting on my microwave oven when i got home from work a few months ago.
it was addressed to me from my best friend and brother-in-law of many years.. a couple of days before we got into a discussion over "what was wrong with me.
" i had recently grown a goatee that he thought was extremely 'unchristian'.

Other worldy religions
by conflicted ini am going to look up some of the worlds non-christian religions, not as a seeker, or out of a need to change beliefs, but from an educational perspective.
i have been interested in what people belive for a while, but have never taken this step before.
i guess what i'm asking is if anyone else has looked up other religions and what have you found?
