  you referring to god as 'jovie' is the same as your daddy calling black people spooks

  So I guess if I refer to God as Jehoover, I might as well call Asian people "Gooks."

  Hmm....unorthodox, but I like it!

  People won't see it before they are ready. Therefore, IMHO, labeling the JWs a cult when talking to them, is counter productive.

  I think Kubler-Ross described "acceptance" as the third stage of healing.....after denial and anger.
