    Plain English. Simple logic. Yet profound observations.

    A different, fresh and thought provoking approach.

    I love that it is so innocuous (free of classical so-called "apostate" red flags such 1975, FDS, GB, doctrine etc.).

    Just uncommon common sense.

    It is hard to understand and explain how an honest hearted JW can get through this list without his mind being jolted to life - even if initially only a small spark.

    Love it.

    Great work Terry.


    (Why does the "true religion" secretly blind its followers to the "Good News" according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms?)

    Since I haven't set foot in a Kingdom Hall since the late 1970's I probably have a very flimsy idea of just how much of a clampdown

    on personal freedoms has crept into the lives of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    From the first-hand accounts I've listened to and read it must be like living in North Korea.

    If it happens gradually like a boa constrictor tightening around you the struggle doesn't come until it is almost impossible to move.

    I would really hate to be a Jw today. I really would.

    But, anybody who is currently in a position to see how awful they are being treated by "mere" men under the pretense of spiritual dominion--I would advise exercising your rights as a citizen in a free country as quickly as possible.

    Speak up, speak out, watch the reactions for signs of "friendly concern" as opposed to fascist containment and make your move!

    Terry, are these your own insights into the religion or are they sayings you have come across reading and studying? Impressive list that fall to close to home for me, each point is duly considered.

    "wasblind" the Time Slip work's wonders with publishers battling depression, the chronic ill, the elderly who are drowned out with the Message our networth is based off the forward P.H. ratio of the Time Card. I stopped asking why because it's a powerful tool to make the elderly, mental and physically infirm feel like worthless pieces of shit. Is this by accident or is this intentional?

    Love , " rude isn't righteous "

    Love , "The miracle is to make a single friend who will

    stand by your side even when hundreds are against you."

    The most frightening thing I learned was those life long

    "friends" and we call ourselves "the friends" all abandon

    you revealing the friendship in the KH is only a thin mask.
