    Just to clarify my answer...I reversed the answers for questions 1 and 2...

    1) 8 JW net helped me realize that I was not alone in thinking that there is something wrong with the "truth" and it reassured me that I had not fallen in Satan's snare. I have long stopped asking myself what's wrong with me...

    2) 3 At first I was concerned when I read posts that perfectly matched the description the WT makes of apostates and how they are full of hatred, twisting things to make their point. But soon I realized that most posters can back up what they say with proof...often taken from the WT's own publications. I love Blondie's and Mary's posts. OTWO' situation is similar to mine and his insight helped me keep the peace with my wife.

    1986 I would have stuck up for myself with my parents and said I’m going to stay at school and go to university and become a history teacher/professor.

    Special optional bonus question: What Topics are you sick of? What topics would your like to see covered more?

    I’m tired of the over the top threads against the WTS ( the kind that give us a bad name)

    I’m all for developing understanding on selected topics and anything that draws us closer as a community.

    1. 10

    2. 7 (I spend too much time on here!!)

    3. Used to feel breathless; like ready to fight. Now I just plan my attacks and enjoy their discomfiture...

    4. Ah, you're kidding, right??? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Why the heck didn't you include a "zero"??!!?

    5. True - kinda sorta maybe... (define "Ideal" conditions...???)

    6. C. Except for she-demons and Goddesses... And fairies... Definitely fairies...!

    7. Whoever the hell wrote Exodus. Marija Gimbutas. Every author of any decent, fact-based book on ANY branch of geology...

    8. Dying with a large stockpile of fabrics yet unsewn... Oh, and tornadoes. Definitely tornadoes.

    9. Getting something sewn up - in spite of 7 cats, one dog, 2 hamsters, a grumpy hubby, and being slightly overweight...

    10. I'd go back to the age of 9, demand the phone number of my NON-Jehovah's Witness relatives [up in South Dakota] from my parents, call THEM up and DEMAND that they come and get me out of that insane family and sick, depraved cult!!!

    And if that didn't work, I'd see if I could sue the biological sperm donor and biological incubator for total independence from their brutal whims and idiocies, especially freedom from being forced into that damned cult!!
