Good Read.Living At The End Of The World.
by jakes inhas anybody read this book by marina benjamin-living at the end of the world?.
it uncovers the characters and beliefs of a world overshadowed by end time prophecies and millenial visions.in it she takes a look at the tragedies of waco,heaven's gate and other suicide cults.the mormons and jws are also analysed very accurately.i think it is a very good book to get jws to read as it is not written by an "apostate".. .

Going to write to my mom
by Mrs Smith ini want to write to my mom to tell her of some of the things that led me to fade.
i think if it's written in a kind and loving way she will read it and i may plant a few seeds of doubt in her mind.
i don't want to bombard her with too much info, but give her enough food for thought.

Been gone awhile.(Rough past few three months)
by jakes ini have'nt been here for awhile.the family and i went through a very rough time over the past three months.most of it has been jw related and how negatively the teachings have affected a brother of my wife who has been diagnosed with bipolar.however,that i will leave for a different discussion.we have managed to pull through it all and we are slowly picking up the pieces.
i am also hard at work putting the final touches to my book.i will keep you posted on the release date.
this past weekend i stepped into a kingdom hall after more than two years.i attended a jw funeral of a friend who was not a jw.his family are all jws and i was actually surprised that permission was given to them to have it conducted in the kingdom hall.halfway through the talk i got up and walked out of the hall.i could not bare to listen to the pathetic reasoning laid out by the elder during his talk.hardly any comfort was given to the family in the talk.as one other poster mentioned,it all become just one big jw presentation and "sales talk".this was probably done because of the many non-jws that were in attendance.
