  Gopher,

  True, the pictures I see on the apostafest threads seem to depict more fun than actively opposing.

  Yup -- that's us, outside in the darkness gnashing our teeth in agony.

  Sounds like you're happy and genuine. That's good enough for me!

  Don't you think most of us are poor excuses for Apostates?

  We're supposed to be out of control, doing drugs, in bad marriages, riddled with Sex Diseases, Drunks, smokers and so forth? Now if we go back, all of these bad traits will go away. :-)

  I would like all of you tomorrow to ask a "normie" or worldly person if the person knows what apostate means. You will be surprised at what you will find out. Not one person I have talked to actually knew what the word meant. Just you here. What does that mean. It means making a federal case out of nada,zip,squat.

  Worldtraveller,

  Actually it's the WTS making a "federal case", or a "world court case" out of our supposed apostasy. If they didn't resort to such silly name calling, we wouldn't be having so much fun with it on this forum here.

  We've taken what was intended as a derogatory label and turned into something silly and fun. We even have apostafests, to celebrate our freedom. We're only using the momentum provided by the wonderful WT Society.

  Some people outside us do know what apostate means. I heard John Kerry use the word recently on a Sunday morning interview, in describing how hard-core Islamists view people immersed in Western civilization.

  If that is the case , I would call that the Colbert effect. Makes more sense that way, but my JW friend did say that after I told him that all that I had been taught was a crock.

  Sarcasm-the BEST form of wit! Thanks for clearing that up!

  Well, I kinda wallow in the whole 'apostate' thing.

  Got a girlfriend I'm not actually married to that I live with, we own a big house, a big truck, a big boat and a mini van and have lots and lots of sex.

  I put all my field service time to better use building PC's and making $, evil greedy money the WTS sets so much store by.

  I helped my GF through a four-year degree instead of delivering her over to the miond drones to be 'taught by the counterfeit slave'.

  I got a hellova beard, a scraggly ponytail, I think the two ear piercings are still good, I should poke em thru again and see.

  I carry a full-sized Beretta Model 96 in .40S&W and usually have a shotgun close to hand, My very presence has been known to make the dubbies tremble.

  I read what I want, talk to whomsoever I please, look at whatever I want, and do not gladly suffer fools.

  I am so Aposterrific I have been shunned by the df'ed and non JW parts of my own family! (speaking of fools...)

  On the plus side, I am in a committed relationship, have raised me daughter wonderfully, learned a trade, made some ching, and got off assistance.

  Now people lean on ME for help!

  I'm fairly happy with what I found when I set out to find 'me'
