Have Attended a Small community Church

by Reopened Mind in

totallyadd and i have been attending a small nondenominational community church.

it happens to be the same church that i attended as a small child.

as some of you may remember totallyadd was raised in the organization so this was his first experience going to church.

last evening totallyadd and i were interviewed by mad sweeney for his cult free radio.

i must admit i was nervous at first, wondering if i would make an identifying slip of the tongue.

mad sweeney is a skilled interviewer who just talked to us and put our minds at ease.

Questions from the Essay "Self-Identity and Growing Up in the Jehovah's Witnesses

by Reopened Mind in

jw
friends

the essay "self-identity and growing up in the jehovah's witnesses" by marcela sherwin was an interesting commentary on how being brought up as one of jehovah's witnesses affects one as an adult after they leave the cult.

only a small sample of ten adult xjws participated in the survey.

i thought it would be interesting to read the answers all of you would give to the same questions.

What Is Truth?

by Reopened Mind in

i was the one at the meetings who had a dictionary or at least a definition written in the margin.

i thought it was important to understand the meaning of words to better comprehend the lesson.

i liked that the writers would throw out words which were not commonly used to help us expand our vocabularies.
