World court of human rights
by WasOnceBlind inwhile australia is dealing with this pedaphile protection policy that the wt seems to have, how awesome would it be if the world court of human rights was to look into it as well, seeing how the wt is a global organization.

Not looking forward to next Monday.....
by WasOnceBlind inwell my mom asked me if i would be attending the district assembly that is taking place this weekend with them.
i gave her a firm "no", she gave a look of total surprise.
probably because in the past i would say, maybe or if i can and would sometimes show up for half a day.

Is this doctrine still in in effect?
by WasOnceBlind inso something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.
i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.
if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?

What was your eye opening moment?
by WasOnceBlind inif you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.
i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

So I decided to do it.
by WasOnceBlind inok, so i went ahead and got a tattoo.
well more than a tattoo, it is a half sleeve.
my parents haven't seen it, thanks to the chilly weather i've been wearing a sweater around them.

Help prevent sons indoctrination.
by WasOnceBlind inok so here is the deal, as some of you who might have read my first post might remember, my parents are jw's while i myself have faded.
i have not told them that i don't believe in the borg and i have done my research and concluded it's a bunch of crap.
the main reason i haven't is because it would break my moms heart and probably send her into a deep depression (she suffers from depression).

Questions that were never answered for me
by WasOnceBlind ini have always been a very rational and thoughtful person.
there where always questions i had growing up regarding things i was taught.
of course asking questions while being a jw is a big no no!

Got invited to Sundays pep rally
by WasOnceBlind inso my mom who sadly is still in the "truth" asked me if i was going to the circuit assembly this sunday.
she knows i don't go to meetings anymore but usually when she would mention the assemblies i would say yes and go pretty much just for her sake.
however, this time i couldn't bring my self to saying yes, i've been reading "crisis of conscience" and i just can't bring my self to go anymore, even if it's for my mother.

" i read the responses and realized the truth in them.
