friends

the first part was all about the the evils of higher education.

i couldn't stand it and left.

was anybody there today?

Coincidence?

Amazon has Watchtower’s 2007 Pursue Goals That Honor God video offered for free viewing. It is a total trashing of higher education . It mixes Timothy and a cast of fictional characters, select scriptures knowing that brainwashed kids (and adults) will just bare their chest to their guns without question.

Nathan Natas issued a plea for us to flash mob negative reviews on Amazon. Some of us have. There are a lot of ways to fight back.

I remember seeing this before I left. Some maybe can’t stomach s second look but could post review from memory. I rewatched so l could try shredding from the inside.

This film is destructive and l think Nathan is right. It deserves to draw our fire.

Interview With an Apostate: Charonsdog

by charonsdog in

they raised my two younger brothers and me in the “truth”, and convinced some of their own siblings to join as well.

i married pretty early, raised two of my own in the “truth”, sad to say.

my parents are still in.

humbled

I discovered that people are generally good, regardless of whether or not they belong to the cult I was a part of before.

Great point.

The annihilation of “those people” at Armageddon never stuck with me. I am really glad you mention this—a simple thought but gently subversive.

You certainly cut free! Thanks for your story.

Interview with an Apostate: punkofnice (all about that funny Brit, Unky Punky)

by punkofnice in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.. racially a very mixed family.

we just looked like average white, working class brits.

dad was in the marine commandos in ww2.

humbled

Glad to read your story, Paul.

I can identify with your revulsion at seeing the Corporation’s “love” take over when the elders deal with a publisher in troubles. If there was anything that initially attracted me it was their emphasis on the “identifying mark” : ..by this all will know you are my disciples, by the love you have among one another.

It ain’t over til it’s over...l hope you outlast your losses and out-love the hate.

simply fabulous.

ps.

humbled

This is transparency. What a great service to post the policy documents from the WTCorp that trickle down to screw with the r&f.

I love how he felt the outrage when he learned of the Elders Manual . He knows why you get that WTFfeeling when your elders are dealing with you: they are remotely controlled by a legalistic Corporation and not motivated by love and mercy from within themselves.

I love this guy. Great interview.

Interview with Dagney

by Dagney in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.. i was born and raised in southern california, with a brief stint with parents as need-greaters in central america.

my parents accepted a study in the d2d work, i believe my father was interested in the revolutionary aspect of the religion, and my mom said she wanted to learn the bible.

they were baptized in 1937 i think, and attended the one and only los angeles kh at the time.

humbled

(What a post script!)

Hello, Dagney. Glad to find your story. Maybe some day l will find everyone at Tahoe.
