A Cautionary Tale For Newbie Ex's.
by Englishman inone of the best parts of leaving the jw religion is the discovery that the majority of people worldly people are kind and decent folk, who are willing to be helpful if given the opportunity to do so.. but!
exiting dubs who have been born into the faith are definitely going to be somewhat naive in certain situations that can leave them open to abuse by cunning perpetrators.. i well remember my first couple of years out of dubdom.
i wanted to try anything and everything.

About Dan Sydlik...
by Patriot ini was talking to one of my brother-in-laws about his time in bethel.
he put in about 5 years.. anyway, i mentioned the post about lyman calling the new black brother "nigger", and he also said that it did not surprise him.. but what i found even funnier was the experience he had with dan.
dan sydlik had been staying at the bossert hotel while his apartment was getting renovated.

Before The Flood
by badboy inthe title of an interesting book by ian wilson about the idea that the legend of noah's flood originated from a cataspastric(sic) flooding in pre-recorded times circa 5600 bc when water from meditterean burst through to flood what is now the black sea.. (my bookclub sent me two copies of each book,possibly the result of an administrive error,the other being earthly remains, i did think, should i tip the two extra books into the kh carpark!
) .
interestly it mentions the institue for creation research who the wt quotes from in their evolution/creation book who claim that john morris saw the ark on ararat,(their is a ark shaped structure on a nearby mountain but it is a geological structure that has `slipped'.. the wood that has been found on ararat probably comes from a byzantine hermitage,it has been dated to c. ad400.. lets hope the wt publishes yet more bullshit!
