What a beautiful song, Mouthy! Both the music and the lyrics are so inspiring! And I love the little boy who kept smiling all the time...

Dear AK-Jeff,
I'm trying to watch the link, but for some reason it keeps getting interrupted. What I've heard so far has certainly aroused my interest. I'll keep trying if I have enough time before going to bed (it's 21:46 already over here). Thanks for posting it!

Yknot, you wouldn't happen to remember the exact comment by Terry that made such an impression on you, would you? Just out of curiosity. You already mentioned this a couple of months ago and I've been curious about it ever since...

The Story of SD-7 - Chapter 2
by sd-7 ingiven that i'm very sensitive emotionally, i tend to avoid mentioning my personal life here if possible, preferring to stick to evaluation of watchtower publications and doctrine, particularly the newest material i can get my hands on.
but i felt it was time to talk again.
i hope at least some of you will be gentle.. i'm married now.

Dear sd-7,
You sound like such a wonderful person! You remind me of somebody else on this forum whose love for a sister is incredibly strong and pure. And you express yourself so intelligently! That's why words such as: "I'm just trying to run the clock out and get this life over with. I can't ask for anything beyond that", make me so sad. You have your lady living by your side, you go to bed and wake up every day next to her, the woman of your dreams, sd-7, so enjoy your life to the full with her! Not many people have that opportunity, you know?, so what do you mind the world? Just be happy. I respect what other posters have told you so far, but in my opinion you are not hurting anybody, so don't get lost in speculation. Just live happily, you have achieved what many have not.

"Autobiography of a Died-Again Christian"
by leavingwt ini enjoyed a number of the points in this essay.
dr. jaco gericke's deconversion story: "autobiography of a 'died-again' christian<snippets>.
it was a little late in the day, however, when i realised that studying theology can be a downright dangerous business for any believer.

Thank you, Bohm! Now we have the whole thesis thanks to you. I'm having my husband download it for me tomorrow. He'll go crazy when he realizes all the sheets of paper it's going to take! Ha, ha! From the few glimpses I've had so far, it looks pretty promising...
Thanks for this thread, Leavingwt!

What an interesting link, Leavingwt! I'm printing it out so I can take my time reading it without my eyes itching. I too wish he had given details about what shook his faith to that degree. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Dear sd-7,
My heart broke when I read your post. None of us have the right to judge you. Your options were clear: 1. Freedom without her. 2. Her without freedom. Either option was tough, neither being preferable to the other and both requiring lots of inner strength. You had to choose one and chose the second. I don't see why you should feel uneasy about it. Now that you've made your decision, don't look back. As you yourself say:
"At the very least, some good is and can still be accomplished inside this religion".
I fully agree. Concentrate on the good you can do from inside the organisation and enjoy her love to the full: she is your reward.
Be happy, sd-7. You are in no way less that any of us here. We are all heroes in our own way.
Hugs, Goldensky.
