The WTBTS's proactive steps at preventing child molestation.
by formerout inbrobennett, you made this comment in another post:.
breeding pedophiles are more common in other religions since they are kept in circulation and not taken out of the religion.
by the way, brobennett, do you have kids?.

What is your most ridiculous example of being shunned?
by formerout ini was just having lunch in a wendy's near my house an hour ago.
an elder and his wife entered and got in line to order without seeing me seated in the eating area.
after a minute the wife turned and saw me.

Your favorite quote about religion/God?
by formerout ini was going to add this to a comment to a post of mine in rune's topic "why?
" (if anybody was paying attention to it) but i figured i would start my own thread on it.. i have always liked quotes, especially very profound life lessons revealed in a short quip.. one of my favorites is by michel de montaigne: .
"man is surely stark mad.

What makes people really excel?
by formerout ini was just watching nightline (i think it was) with diane sawyer.
the stars from ocean's twelve were on there.
i am not a person who normally gives too much praise to celebs or athletes but these guys/gals (brad pitt, catherine zeta-jones, andy garcia, george clooney, matt damon and don cheadle) were pretty brilliant.

I go to Court tomorrow for Sole Custody..... I'm excited but scared too!!!!
by formerout ini am writing this partly to get straight in my mind how i want to present my material tomorrow, since i am representing myself.
but i would also love any advice that you may have to help me (other than get a lawyer.... lol... not an option unfortunately).. my ex-wife and i got separated on april 24, 2003. i spent over $12,500.00 on lawyers just to get to see my kids.
she tried everything in the book to try to prevent me from seeing them, including lying to the police and having me thrown in jail for a night, calling children's aid on me 9 times, (all not substantiated), and most recently by trying to hire someone to beat me up.. we ended up having a settlement conference on june 22, 2004, from which twenty-nine different orders were made, including joint custody with primary residence with her, that my children were ordered to not go to the kingdom hall anymore, access times, support, not moving away, etc.

How do the people who run the WTBTS Society view the Org.?
by formerout inquite often when reading some of the topics and posts i see comments about how all the big-wigs at the wtbts care only about the printing company, etc.
i have been accused of being a little too naive or trusting in the past, but i tend to think that even a lot of the higher-ups in the kh's and even at bethel believe that it is in fact the one true religion.
i tend to believe that a very small percentage of them figure that it's just a way to make money, etc.. what do you think?

Best to worst...... as far as religions go.
by formerout ini have spent a fair amount of time in court lately.
lawyers and their so-called absolute "logic" is interesting.
they lie and call it "justified reasoning" in order to comply with their most important oath of doing the best for their client, axe murderer or not.

The Watchtower's big......(Homer Simpson-like)....... DOH'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by formerout ini was just reading another thread where i was reminded about how the wtbts decided that it was "ok" to have babies again.
i believe this was after the 1975 fiasco where, prior to this they were, in essence, telling people to drop everything, including having a family.. their great revelation about how it was now "ok to have babies" may have been a rush to judgement.
the fact is that a lot of people left because they were "pissed" at being lied to.
