  the other day i was on a site....looking for a certian news clip i had seen where an older news guy get's mad at the news anchor that replaced him on air...anyway a hit came up reading old news anchor and i downloaded it.

  after it was done downloading i started playing it.

  this guy's handing out things to certain people he calls by name at a press conference.

  I just thought of another one ... does anyone remember this ...

  The great tightrope aerialist Karl Wallenda fell to his death in 1978 traversing a 75-foot high wire in downtown San Juan, Puerto Rico.

  I remember this because they kept showing it on the news. I can still see that old wobbling on the wire and they falling .... the cameras followed him down to the ground. I kept watching that man fall, over and over, mesmerized and horrified ....

  That image never goes away. Ironically ... '78 was the year My Book of Bible Stories came out. It was a bad year for kids all around.

  I used to be pro death penalty in my early post-jdub existence. i guess that stance had slipped into my brain from all the lurid tales of death wrought by the iron fist of God for any minor infractions or act of disrespect. this ideology was spoon fed to us dub children with the infamous, My Book of Bible Stories http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/86455/1.ashx .

  anyway ... i actually rented one of the 'Faces of Death' series. i was young, with friends, and i'm sure some drugs were involved ... but there was this segment of a man being electrocuted. I've been anti-death penalty ever since. it was the most horrible thing i've ever seen. it still gives me the willies just talking about it now.

  but us dub children were weaned on the stories of god's wrath ... and gleefully looked forward to his most elaborate mass murder ever.

  my parents went to the assembly this weekend.

  they were telling me about disciplining children... the speaker was saying how all babies are born selfish and demanding for their own needs and not anyone elses.

  the jist of the talk being about discipline, and training children ...ie taking them out for a good beating.. well, i don't know if any of you have ever 'just seen red!

  yeah big dog ...

  .... was it you that made reference to the hitler youth? whether it was or not, it was a solid point. just like in the My BooK of Bible Stories thread, they program the child first.

  Sorry ... my finger slipped.

  But if you could give just one document to a die-hard dub in hopes in hopes of inserting a 'trojan' into their programming ... what would it be?

  I've made my first moves to nudge my mom toward free-thought, so far ... no dice.

  What kind of Apostate are you?

  i've been on this site now for a little while and think its brilliant and its been a tonic in getting things straight and for gathering research.

  (thanks simon & ang).

  in fact its difficult to get work done during the day because of reading posts on here.. a couple of months ago if someone wouldve asked me whether i was apostate i would have flatly refused partly because the indoctrination still has its effect even after a decade and the negative connotation attached to the word 'apostate' is still at the back of my mind.

  Can you be an Apostate if you were raised in a religion you never wanted to be in and got out the first chance you had?

  Technically ... sorta. But I would sweat it ... its not like horns are gonna sprout or anything.

  You could say were all different tools, sometimes a job calls for a certain tool and thats where a variety of personality and experience helps.

  Ticker

  What a cool way to break it down ... and you're right, some times you need a finely tuned delicate instrument, and sometimes, only a mallet will do.
