Amazing YouTuber talking to JWs
by Listener ini recently came across a female youtuber called "bridget azaz".
she has made a number of youtubes recording discussions that she has had with a number of jws.
she does an excellant job and i thought i would make mention of her here.there appears to be another youtube site that either she or someone else has created with a couple of her interviews which have been touched up from the originals on her 'bridget azaz' site.this is one of them and i think you will enjoy it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkescwpafmu&feature=em-subs_digest.

"Abolish all doubt, and what's left is not faith, but....
by dubstepped in... absolute, heartless conviction.
you're certain that you possess the truth -- inevitably offered with an implied uppercase t -- and this certainty quickly devolves into dogmatism and righteousness, by which i mean a demonstrative, overweening pride in being so very right, in short, the arrogance of fundamentalism.".
i just thought i'd share this.

So they made a plea for more money in May by their beloved 5th grade teacher (that's what he reminds me of) and when they don't get an increase from the R&F like they prayed they would, they cut special pioneers. Isn't this the reason their in business, spread the good news. Now they are cutting back on the preaching work. They are a CULT.

A True short story
by Terry in____a true story___.
shortly after the incident, i drove back along the pacific coast in a euphoric daze of confusion, tears, and exhilaration; there was no place for it to go inside my head.
i pulled over on the shoulder of the road and sat in stunned silence.

Excellent writing Terry. I envisioned the whole scene, smelled the sea, the Orca, and heard the shouts of determination and subsequent joy. I look forward to seeing more SStory's. -

What an excellent post Terry. I always enjoy your writing but this particular article got my attention big time.
Though I was an elder and PO, I never considered myself uber only because I knew that often times I was shoveling shit of some sort or other. (Just wouldn't admit it)
Ive been recently asked why I kept doing it. I'm not really sure if it was peer pressure, stubbornness or sheer stupidity. It took some time even after the blinders were removed to fully admit to myself and others that it was all a pile of shit and even after being out for 7 years my spirituallity has and is still tainted. I have a hard time believing in anything.
