some four years ago, i handed in my last report in the kh.
both wanted our children to have a more mainstream life than the witnesses frame could offer.
in time, my wife and i got separated.
Thank you for sharing your story and showing another example of becoming true to ones self. Even though it is probably a difficult transition for you and certain family members I applaud you for removing the mask and living YOUR truth. May you and your family (s) have all the happiness you can handle.

i just finished reading sam harris's book 'letter to a christian nation'.
small book 97 pages.
read it in under two hours.
I read it and while I agreed with most of what was written I felt it was written to reinforce the non theist's attitude rather than written for those in a god faith. I passed it on to a close friend who is a born againer to check the reaction and he was very offended by a majority of the book. Because it was very honestly presented and does not hold back in its condemnation of theism (ala The God Delusion) it may be dismissed by "believers" because of its in your face honesty.
If one is trying to wean someone off of the "mysticism" that is so prevalent today I would suggest a copy of Sagan's book "A Candle in the Dark" as a primer to rational thinking. I have found that discussions originating from this book to be less emotional and combative.

warning: the wtbts is becoming more cultish as evidenced in this mp3.
listener take heed.

I think I can acuratly sum up this talk wth the following
oggity bogity BOO
And if this talk doesnt scare em back to the hall he will release the flying monkeys!
i was just wondering how many ex-jws still read wt literature and if so why.
i have noticed alot of posters here know what the lastest wt or awake magazines are talking about and i was just wondering why do you bother to read that stuff since you left the wt?
I read it to get the proper spiritual food from Jehovah so I can live forever in a paradise Earth.....No wait...thats ot it...oh yea..now I remember
I read it to clear my stomach and upper intestine via exsplosive vomiting.
Ummm on second thought I havent read any except the "End of Religeon Tract" in a long, long time. Same rubbish, different dates.

just noticing what happened with waco, jonestown, heaven's gate etc.
I am of the opinion that it is dangerous now. Its teachings destroy lives, minds, families and hearts. Its rules and methods makes walking talking zombies. I dont believe it will ever "fall" in the "waco, Jim Jones" sense of the word. The COLLECTIVE has proven time and time again that it will adapt via "new light" and other methods to maintain members at the edge of the end. This method can be continued forever or until the slow down forces the change over to more mainstream teachings.
