Hey Giordano, Unfortunately the GB has taken the pedophile issue off the table with their JW TV pronouncement about apostates being the source of the statements that the Org. is a pedophile paradise. No self respecting witness would ever quote the reality of such goings on because it has become off limits by the Gov. Body. They know what they are doing.

Sometimes it seems as if the people in the congregation are like the Weeping Angels, every time you blink or turn around they seem to come closer to sending you away. -

Just Want To Be Heard
by dubstepped ini've been lurking here for a while now, and i guess you could call me a fader.
i don't have hate in my heart for the organization that i spent most of my life in, but i have had an awakening.
luckily, so has my wife, and that way i don't feel so alone.

Great to hear from you. You are overflowing and it shows. A little advice that will endear you to everyone, shorter is better. Its OK to move forward with more targeted comments now that you have gotten that rush of feelings out. I applaud your courage and timidity, there is a time and place for both after all. You have no idea how jealous many will be of your wife's good sense since they are weighted down by the sadness of a mate who is still loony. Hopefully its just temporary for them. Welcome once again! -

Is this what the society imagines will be above that 'secret hiding room' in the basement?

The image plays on the idea of the "end" being the result of man's destructive nature. There are no avenging angels nor any sign of supernatural intervention. This cover may engage those who expect a man made end. Once they are drawn by the content the hook may be set. It doesn't look so crazy that way. These guys deserve an end like that, one where they end up in jeans among the rubble. God is good because he slaughtered every one on earth, but them. -

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?
by stuckinarut2 inso do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

I have some old books but never look at them. I guess I should dump them, taking space. -

Then they bound all of the individual volumes to make one fat bible. It had cross references too. Down the middle. They dumped those with the release of the more manageable sized complete bible after that. It was many years till they included cross references again. -

Your cell phone should have a number displayed telling who called or their number, or it will read private caller at least. If not, then do the ringer off routine. Star 69 the land line at midnight yourself. -

Ayn Rand - Opinions?
by cappytan infor those of you familiar with ayn rand and her ideas on morality, rationality and reason, what is your opinion of those ideas?.
i'm talking about her actual ideas, not the ideals that libertarianism has adopted and, in some cases, perverted.
do you think she's a charlatan?

Do You Think President Obama Is Muslim?
by minimus ini really think that he is.
not that it's a bad thing...

I agree he is agnostic or atheist. Usually people with an education tend in that direction. That's why the GB is bashing University. But I think he is on the right track not using Muslim in the descriptor of these terrorists. Take their thunder from them and turn them into simple criminals and not religious zealots. I think they are empowered when the west uses their chosen titles. Disconnect Allah from the actions of the terrorists and the world, that way the other "Muslims" will fall in line. So far so good. It seems he is making a point of taking the theocracy out of the language of punks. Go Jordan!
