Anton-Babinski Syndrome and Jehovah's Witnesses
by gubberningbody ini was reading a book the other day and happened to read about a condition which struck me as oddly reminiscent of the situation jehovah's witnesses may come to resemble for failing to see that "new light" isn't.. .
antonbabinski syndrome is a rare symptom of brain damage occurring in the occipital lobe.
people who suffer from it are "cortically blind", but affirm, often quite adamantly and in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, that they are capable of seeing.

I was looking through some old notes and I remembered how dull the meetings were
by gubberningbody ini was the school overseer, and the only way i could pay attention was by ripping every part to shreds.
everything was so elementary and boring.
why anyone would have needed to take notes was beyond me.

i said in reply:.
"what does that matter if i didn't feel loved?".

I have a question on the Circuit Accounts Scam thread
by gubberningbody ini didn't want it to get buried and i'd really like to know.. so i knew pretty much what he was saying was true, but what i don't get is how the creative accounting works.. i mean you have to show expenses on the ledger - and i mean real expenses, like the co/do expenses along with receipts.. you have actual costs for the power coming into the building.
the paper supplies and cleaning supplies.
the vacuum cleaners and mops and other sundry items, and you have to have receipts for all that.. i also know that when you made a "donation" it was off the books at the circuit level as far as accounts were concerned.. but how is money not being accounted for?.

I feel like I found me again
by gubberningbody ini'm sure others have had the same experience, but it's a bit odd to me now as i see how all the business of jw-land and the constant social proddings can keep a person from leaving for quite some time.. if it hadn't been for the inquisition i might not have left.. .
i'm glad they felt my wife and i were important enough to hound, because that helped immensely.. now for the past two years now i've finally gotten back to being the book-consuming, thinking-machine i was in the past.. .
i feel like i woke up, came home and found myself sitting in a chair reading some odd sort of esoterica and the me that was there said:.
