Here's To Fanatics And Raising The Bar
by exwhyzee ina fanatic is a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal for something.
they take an activity,interest or belief and go beyond what would be considered normal or necessary by the majority of people.. .
having grown up as a jw and now having been away from it a few years, i better see how accustomed i had become to being involved with an organization run by fanatics of the religious variety.

Commitee and disfellowshipment
by Freeof1914 ini have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.
i guess i am more of a reader than author.
that being said i am happy to announce i am no longer one of the jehovah's witnesses.

Question from a newbie
by L3G inmy second post.
while lurking here, i've seen that some regular contributors have good resources or ability to find things in the wt publications.. i've got a relative who sometimes listens when i point out problems with the borg's thinking, but i don't have the resources to find something that would help me when talking to her.
perhaps someone here can find it and help me out.

25 YEARS of compiled yearbook statistics
by 88JM inhello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.

What if most of the R&F Jdubs upped and left ?
by Phizzy ini know a mass exodus is about as likely as peace between the arabs and israelis, but just imagine if it did happen, most of the r&f jdubs, and in fact most of the r&f of any religion.. the nasty guys at the top would be left up the proverbial creek with no paddle.. therefore it is the rank and file members of any religion that keep it going, so they are, if ignorantly and without malice, supporting the nasty guys.. the gb of the wt, the mad mullahs, the pope and his coterie of kiddy-fiddlers would all come crashing down.. therefore i shall no longer make excuses for the r&f of any movement that is rotten, they may be ignorant, but that is no excuse, and by supporting the edifice they are as guilty as the perpetrators who suicide bomb, murder abortion performing doctors, and all the child abusers within these organizations.. if you give your support just a little bit you have to carry some of the blame.. .

So, Was It Just "Luck" Or Did "Jehovah" Intervene At Times For You?
by minimus ini know witnesses believe that miracles were done away with other "gifts" after the apostles died but every so often they suggest god produced a miracle.. did you believe that jehovah god saved you out of a bad situation?
did you accept that god's angel help you out?.

by Stubborn Disbeliever ini'm new here, so i thought i'd start with an introduction and summary of my life, for the most part.
i have a tendancy to ramble ridiculously, so bear with me :) and this will be all over the place as thoughts take over the keyboard.. i was born a 5th generation jw.
i never really "felt" it, but was book smart about it.
