An unexpected benefit from posting here.

a few weeks ago my youngest daughter wanted to know about my past, what happened when her mom and i split...when i left the truth and turned apostate.

i gave her this site and my username...and now she's able to read for herself what happened...at least from my perspective.

i have to say it's a fantastic thing that this site exists and all of these records from the years are in one place.

The Brought In, and the Exit of a Dub

of course there are exceptions to everything, this is strictly my view and no judgments should be implied.... there are different levels of brought-in, starting with the varying ages of childhood, when the childrens parents are brought in.

for the purposes of this, i am dealing with from teenage on up.. brought in witnesses are in a class unto themselves.

lets look at what happened to them.... a witness approached them, and something the witness had to say struck a chord.

born in, what difference does it make?.

i was thinking about this one a lot over the last few weeks.

what difference does it make whether you were born into a cult or were brought in as a teen or adult?

i'm good at the pity party, can have fantastic events of this because i'm the guy that has to remind himself everything is getting better.. i was in a good one for a few weeks lately, but then i realized i don't have much to be sad about.

compare to where i was 6 years ago, my life is far better than i ever could have imagined.

tomorrow morning i'll be getting on a flight to go work for mtv.

i like to read...a lot.

so tonight i was reading about conspiracy theories and new world orders and how obama is the antichrist, so on and so forth, so my questions that i can't figure out are these:.

if "the antichrist" exists, and just for the sake of argument, obama was he, shouldn't all the christians have voted for him?

i haven't written one of these in a really long time.

i have asked myself that question many time over the past couple of years.

i started smoking pot when i moved to a state that allows it.

What happens after you get out.

dave used to tell me that there were more stages to recovery than anyone can really explain... or however he said it that was always so cool.

maybe it's because we never really recover.

i hear from old friends every now and then and think of many more who i met since i started this trip almost 7 years ago.. sometimes an old family member has a reason to call you and you go through a lot of emotions that are part of why you choose to leave.

i've been working on this tv show for the past month and a half...insanity!

i think the first episode airs in february, but we've been filming for several weeks now.

it's the first time i've been on the set of a reality/game show, it's a lot of fun, especially being part of the fx crew.
