What Is Harder? Getting Somebody In a Cult or Out of a Cult?
by mentallyfree31 ini just happened to think about this today.
would it be harder to start today and get somebody into the watchtower organization and get them baptized or to tackle a jw and get them out of the cult?
it seems that getting somebody to baptism can take up to a year.

LeavingWT's Quote of the Week
by mentallyfree31 inwe had supper together tonight at my parent's house.
after something came up about wt finances and whether the literature is free or "at no cost", leavintwt assured us that watchtower is not in the business of losing money.. "make no mistake about it.
this may be a non-prophet organization, but it's not a non-profit organization.. i think you probably would have to be there to get the full effect.. lol.

Looking For Online Sources Dealing With God, Atheism, Wicked Spirits, Demons...etc..
by mentallyfree31 ini have been doing quite a bit of reading since i "awakened" in december.
most of the reading has been books that were recommended to me.
so far i have read the following: crisis of conscience, in search of christian freedom, combatting cult mind control, releasing the bonds, apocalypse delayed, sign of the last days, who wrote the bible, a history of the end of the world, awaking of a jehovah's witness by diane wilson, thus saith the governing body, captives of a concept, and a few more... i would like to get suggestions on websites that deal with god, atheism, wicked spirits, demons, religion, etc.... do you have any good links that contain such information?

Why is There Wickedness On Earth..Just So I'm Clear? (Humor)
by mentallyfree31 ini'm trying to filter through my previous jw beliefs....as to why wickedness exists on earth:.
(1) a talking snake talked a naked woman into eating a piece of fruit.. (2) god really wants to step in but he can't because of this weird predicament with the angels looking on... (3) but, the good news is that a man came and lived a few years and they put him to death.. (4) so, if you will believe in this man, and tell a lot of other people about him...you will one day be perfect.
and you can live in a world with nothing but jehovah's witnesses.

Sun Moon - Leader of the Moonies - Autobiography
by mentallyfree31 ini purchased (this week) a copy of the autobiography of this man.
he wrote the book himself, telling his version of the events of his life, work and church.
i think it will be very enlightening to hear a cult leader express his views, attempting to justify his work and beliefs.
