2 years ago you may remember i had a budgie named: busy.

Crisis of Conscience/ISoCF Library Campaign
by AK - Jeff inmany libraries do not have copies yet, as it is far from 'mainstream' reading for most people.
i propose that we can all do a small deed that can/might be a huge favor to our former 'brethren' in the 'truth'.
check with the local library, see if they have the books on the shelves.

Who are you?
by Brother Apostate inwho are you?.
they're the people who walk by obliviously, having trained themselves to not pay attention to details.. they're the people who read books but never read between the lines to see the big picture.. they're the people who watch movies, only paying attention to the obvious, missing the powerful story within the story.. they're the people who merely see the surface, never the 30,00 foot view.. they're the people who can't see the forest for the trees.. they're the people who never correlate history to what unfolds before our eyes in modern times.. they're the people who are forever controlled by group pressure and their wallet or pocketbook, who won't open their eyes to understand that the masses are easily led to their own downfall, that temporary discomfort for the right cause can produce great freedom from oppression and a new lease on life.. they're the people who never put it together to understand the big picture, and scoff at those who do.. they're the majority.. ba- and that's the way the wealthy elite want to keep it.. ps- who are you?.

I am loosing interest in most things JW or XJW!
by AK - Jeff ini think that simon's announcement that this venue was closing was the catalyst.
i looked around the other forums and realized i just don't need them anymore.
i have logged in here probably 10% of my former time since the announcement, first to do the 'admin' stuff that was happening immediately following - but now usually only once a day, maybe 10 minutes, and can't even find much of interest while i do that.

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs
by Simon ini've had this theory for some time and alluded to it occassionally but have never explored it in detail.. it is of course a huge generalisation so no, not everyone will fit into the boxes and i'd like people's opinion.
i don't know everyone's circumstances so it's based on a small sample of some of those i do know something about.
it could be completely wrong, it's just an idea.. basically, i have seen a difference between some of those ex-jws who walked out vs those who were kicked out.. the most bitter and obsessive seem to be the kicked out and, i must add, those who were legitimately kicked out.
