i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.
did jesus actually exist?.
without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..
a friend of mine who is planing his fade, has just been made talk coordinator.
so he calls me and ask 'do i want to give a talk at his hall?
' he knows my situation and lurks on this board himself.
I don't understand, I'm familiar with his talk but was there something in his recap of the experience that made you feel it wasn't a good idea to do the same yourself?
Little toe in subsequent threads talked about how later he wished he said more and feared that his talk may have entrenched some to be more resolute in their defense of the 'truth.'
There is a natural nervousness and trepidation when it comes to public speaking no matter how skilled an orator you are.
At that point in my journey I was a different person. I was out of the kingdumb hall since 05. had gotten over the initial fear but still had a wife who tho out still mentally did not understand TTATT.
Like NewYork44M said there is some pain involved. I now know the tricks to skillfully planting seeds and using questions to work on a persons subconcious (sp) But back than I was a lil rough around the newborn apostate edges. I feared one way or another I might have done more harm than good even if the talk went over well.
Side note I am the guy who saw ex-dubs in the strip club who were like I used to love your talks...Talk about awkward.
hopefully not a repost but i found this article and her take very insightful...and of course it has strainds of wt like control!.

J.Hofer you're right it sounds good but the reality is another story.
part of what went into my decision was a former poster on here named little toe. his public talk was his disassociation and his story and recap was very telling.
If you want to learn more or hear his talk its still live HERE!

LOLz yeah I probablyh should have done it!
But it was OTWO who convinced me even as a prank there is some sh!t its best not to re-visit. This was 6 yrs ago I'd hate to see the kind of brain dead drivel that they put out there in the guise of a public talk.
re: adjustments to draw close to jehovah.
dear brothers:.
some changes involving our understanding of the meaning of gods name and what it re p- resents have been made to the first chapter of draw close to jehovah.
OK what we need to do is have SD-7 write a complete new SD-7 version of the draw close to god book and send it out to dubs!
