On a whim, stopped by the library for books on Jerusalems destruction
by ithinkisee inso i was driving by the library on my way home today and remembered i do have a library card and decided to go in and do my own research on 607 bce.
i figured i might find a book or two in our little old library.
i did a search on the library's computers for "jerusalem history" and got a handful of books ... i wrote down the dewey decimal number (or whatever it is) of one of them (they are all in the same general section) and headed to the reference wing of the library.

Apostasy - A Racist Movement?
by slimboyfat infirpo carr argues that while many white apostates claim to highlight so-called 'racist' remarks and terminology in the watchtower literature, most such apostates are in fact white and have little real interest in black issues.
they are only interested in the issue in so far as they can use it to promote white anti-witness propaganda, whereas a high percentage of loyal witnesses are black.
i know that all the terms of my topic are debatable: apostacy is a witness term of derogation; apostates probably are mostly liberal and not racist (essentially); and they are not a 'movement' in any case.

Compassion for assembly attendees
by Insomniac inmy love and i went to the big city today for the old port festival- the city blocks off several streets, there is live music, horrible fried foods on sticks, pasty looking mainers wearing shorts for the first time in nine months; all in all, a fun, casual day.
the area where this is held is a few blocks from the civic center, where the jw's always hold their assemblies.. while waiting in line for food, my honey whispered that he saw a man wearing a name badge that read godly subjection.he had no idea what that signified.
when i looked around, sure enough, there was a witness couple- both of them sweating in their assembly clothes, wearing dorky looking name badges, and looking really furtive and uncomfortable about being in the street festival.

Did losing your religion send you into/exacerbate depression?
by SixofNine ini think most of us here agree that our past belief in the jw organization as being god's sole chosen people was delusional on our part.
for myself, when i lost that delusion (fairly abruptly too), i came out of a long period of depression immediately.
while i was incredibly angry at having been decieved, i can't say that that anger translated into any other negatives, in fact, overall, i think my general level of anger, even at elders/the gb/etc subsided, as i now understood why they do what they do even better than they themselves understand it.
