Apostate Brainstorming Session
by AllTimeJeff ini have been meaning to bring this up for a long time.. sometimes, i think we (former jw's) who are very rightly concerned about all the lies of the governing body have some great ideas about how to expose jehovah's witnesses.. some of us have very passionate and distinct ideas.
not a few of us have websites with our own personalities evident.. i don't wish this to get personal.
even if i disagree with some presentations or rhetoric of some, i know that it is sincere.

If You Want to Expose JW's, Get it Right!
by AllTimeJeff injehovah's witnessses, (and esp their leadership, the governing body) are guilty of so many things, that one has to be careful of the tabloid rumors swirling around them.. it's probably helpful to review first of all what jw's are guilty of.
they are absolutely guilty in their efforts to control active members under the dictates of the conscience of the gb.
every other watchtower article usually has big time references to how we shouldn't be like those self righteous pharisees in jesus day for all the rules, followed by another article next describing what one can (could) or can't (shouldn't) watch on tv, wear for clothing or hairstyles, etc.

An Apology ..... (of sorts)
by AllTimeJeff inopinions are like certain orifices, everyone has one.. it's only if you insist that yours is the only one in the room that counts that you become like certain orifices....... with that in mind, i wish to offer a small but sincere apology to all members of our unique little community on jwn.
(that even includes perry).
now mind you, i don't apologize for the views i have, esp my political ones.

Geeks like me who would like to talk about smartphones should read here....
by AllTimeJeff inone of my passions in life unaffected from my jw exit is electronics.
lately, my focus is on smartphones..... i got an iphone the day it came out, and reupped for 2 more years with the 3g (not the 3gs).
some days i wish i got the 3gs for the better processor, but the 3g is faster and slimmer in my hand.

A Weakness of the Information Age
by AllTimeJeff ini love the overall direction the world is taking right now thanks to technology and esp the internet.
the world is a much smaller place.
we can now have instant commuinication and know what is going on in the world at any given time.. perhaps its a happy accident that the internet has evolved into a cheap, sometimes free platform for news distribution.

Just got through watching THE PRISONER on AMC... and...
by AllTimeJeff infirst off, great acting... deeeeep layered subplots, and it appealed to me as a former jw.. i esp want to comment about 2. this whole village he made was designed to help people with problems to "heal".. 6 wants freedom, not a template of, dare i say, paradise.
but in the end, he stays, to help people, in a way that shall we say, is off the beaten path.. i didn't think that the ending episode in particular explained everything very cogently, but at the same time, boy was this stuff dense from a jw perspective.. of course, it could also be a 6 hour rorscach test, where we see who we are.
(as so typically it happens.).

Curiosity Didn't Kill the Cat
by AllTimeJeff inthat old saying your parents told you when they were too tired to explain anymore.
sort of sticks with you.. did you know that curiosity doesn't kill you at all?
(by the way, what does kill you is listening to bad or false advice and information) it is the impetus for future learning.
