Left one cult not joining another
by SnakesInTheTower ini just read this article about dave ramsey and his company ramsey solutions (formerly lampo group).
reading about him and his board, made me think of jehovah's witnesses and the governing body (aka the hateful eight).
i used to like him, listened or watched his show, even visited his new hq in nashville briefly.

Can we ever get our loved ones out?
by SnakesInTheTower ina post on another thread got me to thinking and writing.. should we even be trying to get our loved ones out of jehovah's witnesses?.
when a person truly believes in their belief system, or even if they don't but have held to that system for a long time, there is nothing we can say that will move them from that system.. why?
perhaps pride.

60 MB Broadband (cable) Internet...do we really need it that fast?
by SnakesInTheTower inthrough work, i received a copy of a news release from the local cable company.
that cable company is headed to bankruptcy but until then business as usual.
(kinda like the illinois governor...just keeps going even though doomed).. my question is...do residential customers really need internet to be that fast?

West Palm Beach Christian Convention Center -- 10 Years Old
by SnakesInTheTower inwhile looking for info on another thread, i found this recent article on the old "leaky teepee" in west palm beach, florida...that was bought by the wtbts 10 years ago....for a song.... .
note the regrets of city officials in that they could have done what wt did and sold some of the land (wt sold a lot of the unused land to home depot and recovered a good portion of the $12.5 million they paid for the entire property).
it really is a beautiful property now, inside and out .

LURKING JW: Thinking of leaving? Learn from my experience.
by SnakesInTheTower in"mental wondering in the wilderness"... uh oh.... it's a long post from snakes.... lol.
yep... i think that is the best way to describe where i am at in life right now.
if you have read my past posts (mostly in the private section) you know some of my history as a life-long (now former) witness.. i have been away from the jw religion, for all intents and purposes, since dec. 06, though it was not until sept 07 that i stopped attending meetings.

Swahili Congregation in the Midwest -- Why?
by SnakesInTheTower ini almost posted this in the humor section, because honestly, i almost thought it was a joke.
my family and i were driving through a suburb of st. louis, missouri this afternoon on the way back to illinois and home.
i took a back road through a bedroom community and ended up on a 2 lane road that led me right past the last kingdom hall i attended in 2007 before i left for good.
