If You Were the Casting Director...
by Swan in.
if they made a movie about your life among the jehovah's witnesses, and you were the casting director for the movie and money was no object, who would you cast as the members of your congregation; your elders; their wives; the circuit overseer; yourself?
remember, this is a fantasy, so you can have anyone in your cast, alive or dead.. i think robert deniro could play a very good circuit overseer.. i always thought ted knight would make a good elder, especially the one i am thinking of who always put his foot in his mouth on stage.. i haven't thought of who should play me.. how about you?.

Resisting Cults in San Francisco
by Swan inwhile in san francisco a couple weeks ago i was offered a free stress test twice by people with a table full of dianetics books.
i successfully resisted the scientologist's pitch due to my study and experience with cults in general, and jehovah's witnesses specifically.. yet i wasn't completely successful that trip in avoiding temptation.
while walking back to my hotel, i happened through union square.

Jimmy Carter Said IT Again!
by Swan intoday on the news i heard jimmy carter use the phrase that so many other world leaders have said for so many years.
he was speaking of the election of the new leadership in palestine and happened to mention those three words.
it's the three words that every jw goes chicken little over.
