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.

Sign of the Last Days by Carl Oloff Johnson - Have you read it?
by mentallyfree31 ini started reading sign of the last days by carl oloff johnson this week.
i am almost to page 50 right now, and have finished the section on world famines.
wow - he really deconstructs the idea of whether famines have increased or decreased over the past 2,000 years.

No Shorts and T-Shirts After Convention - Remember?
by mentallyfree31 indoes everyone remember a few years back, when the km directed that nobody should wear shorts after the convention while out and about?
i don't have the reference, but i remember a brother in our hall made a comment that night at the meeting while it was being discussed.
he was a very poor brother, with 3 children.

"Don't Ever Come To My House Again"...says the householder!
by mentallyfree31 insince i have woken up from the horrible wt nightmare 5 months ago, i have had a chance to reflect on things that have happened over 25 years.
one of the things i keep thinking about is householders in the field that would become furious upon seeing me and say rudely "get out of here and don't ever come back to my house again!".
it always struck me as such an awful thing to say.
