You know, when you really "Make the Truth your own" it changes everything
by gubberningbody inyou own it.. that is to say, you are the one who decides what is right and what is wrong.. now it's odd to realize that the so-called father of faith, abraham "made the truth his own" in condemning what he thought this being was planning on doing to the residents of sodom (including his own self-absorbed whiney nephew lot) with the words "is the judge of all the earth not going to do what is right?
" are words which meditating on would eventually lead me to condemn all religion including any being which may or may not be behind it all.. .
because in "making the truth my own" i learned to reject power as the basis for moral authority, and this power necessarily included intelligence.

You know when they said you should wait 2 years before you witness to anyone?
by gubberningbody in(at least i heard that from a lot when i came in, though only in jest).
i think it's true for those who leave.. you need time to be with your own thoughts, time to heal before you try to talk to anyone.. .
if you don't, you'll just confirm what's on the minds of those who fear where you've gone.. .

Fox News: bias anyone? (gas prices and the presidency)
by gubberningbody inwith gas prices on the rise the republicans and fox news are blaming it on obama.. .
but wait, back in 2008 when gas hit $4.11 a gallon they said just the opposite about bush: the president has no control over gas prices.. .
sure, "we report the news, you decide".

The real truth is that you know you've recovered when you stop caring about JW's
by gubberningbody init's perhaps sad, but perhaps a bit of wisdom to come to realize how insignificant jws really are.. .
you finally get to the point where you don't even care what happens to the borg one way or another.. .
this said after almost four years..

I actually loved field service
by gubberningbody inthat might seem odd, but it really suited my personality.
even before i became a jw i was annoying people with personal questions.
the thing is that it's sort of ok in normal land to do that as a cult member, but not as a "normal citizen".. .

I remember how I always preferred working alone door to door
by gubberningbody ini'd just stand at the door and not knock on it or ring it.
if someone came, i'd make a presentation - "here's your tract!".
otherwise i'd just wait a couple of minutes and then go to the next door and not knock.. .
