  this morning on my way to work, i saw a girl reading a new world translation in the metro.

  i live in paris and i don't see witnesses very often, except occasionally holding out magazines in the street looking grumpy.. i had the urge to talk to her.

  my reaction is different every time i see witnesses.

  How long did it take before you started talking to others about being an ex-dub?

  i was just wondering if any of you took time to speak openly about being an ex-witness.. sometimes, when it came up naturally, i told some of my friends; in other cases, i felt really uncomfortable talking about it.

  in fact, it's a little strange, but i felt more comfortable telling casual friends rather than the people closest to me.

  i often felt like it was a huge revelation to make, often to find that people weren't really that shocked.

  this is an entertaining and moving documentary on the idiocy of religion.

  i especially liked the closing speech.. "the plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live.
