or tell the teacher that you would not be partaking of pagan desserts.. but.
did you actually leave?.

Was There a Fictional Work Helped You Realize the Truth About the (T)ruth?
by BabaYaga inthe pen really can be mightier than the sword, and even fiction often carries much weight and powerful messages.. did you read a book or watch a movie that made you think?
did an "entertaining" work plant a seed of doubt?.
the first one i can remember making a definate comparison to the witnesses in my mind was ray bradbury's martian chronicles.

My "Disassociation Trio"
by DT inat about the time i learned the truth about the "truth" and disassociated, i started to compose a trio for piano, violin and cello.
it served as both a distraction and an outlet for my emotions at the time.
i finished two movements and was working on a third that eventually evolved into an entirely separate piece.

Which group would you say J-dubs hate more?
by awaken2004 incatholics or born again christians?.
i know someone who doesn't believe the j-dub doctrines but anytime he talks to a non-witness about religion he takes on this arrogant attitude that.
the witnesses know more about the bible than any other religion.

How can I help my wife to get out
by Albert Einstein ini am fading out after 18 years in jw cult (pioneer, ms, elder etc ...).
my wife was born in jw family, very strong family bonds, very loyal to jw.
at home we can talk pretty open, but she is so blindfolded, so loyal, not willing to admitt jw could be totally wrong... is there any chance to help her step by step?
