For our Canadian EX JW's ... Your own Rambo
by Giordano inmontreal — it is a plot worthy of hollywood: a courageous, one-eyed soldier single-handedly liberates a dutch city during world war ii, tricking a german officer into believing the city is surrounded.just in case there are any doubters, he rampages through the streets throwing grenades, firing his rifle and — in a final act of defiance — lights the gestapo headquarters on fire.now more than 70 years later, the soldier, léo major, a onetime farmer from montreal, is getting wide recognition in canada after an hourlong documentary about his life was shown last month on radio-canada, the national broadcaster.
the news media dubbed him “quebec’s rambo.”.
from the ny times:.

I was invited to address The Presbyterians at their church
by Giordano inso i was asked to give a presentation at the oxford forum which is sponsored by a local presbyterian church.
it's a very old church founded in 1758. it's way out in a rural area and if your interested here is their web site.. for a quick look at a beautiful setting: http://www.oxfordchurchlex.org/ yes this image is eye candy but up close the architectural detailing is pretty impressive............ there is no way you are going to confuse this church with a jehovah's witness soon to be closed kingdom hall.. the pastor told me that they would have 15 to 20 people attending my presentation about the jw life and beliefs.
it would start at 10am and end at 10:50. he would open the meeting with a brief prayer and welcome.

Talking to the people under the steeple
by Giordano ini haven't found religion viable after we left the jws some fifty years ago.. oddly enough i will be conducting a session at the oxford forum which is put on once a week on a sunday by the presbyterian church.
they invite scholars, professors, artists etc.
people of interest to expose their congregation to what else is going on in this community.

Fade..... or this?
by Giordano inthere are four ways to leave the 'truth'...... alive............you can be disfellowshiped...... then shunned, you can formally disassociate yourself and be shunned........ you can fade.
the first two words belong to the society, fade on the other hand is defined as 'to gradually grow faint and disappear.
' 'walking away' has it's own negative connotation about one's commitments and relationships.. i think some folks feel uncomfortable with these words.

Test yourself...Which Religion Best Suits You, what non religion best suits you.
by Giordano insince we have had so many joining up while others have changed their thinking it doesn't hurt to see where we stand now .. this 20 question test is not the definitive test but it may be revealing or affirming....... find out where your religious or nonreligious comfort range is.. i just took it and my #1 choice was that i was a secular humanist.
being a jw was #24........ way way down the list.. www.playbuzz.com/benjaminbirely10/which-religion-best-suits-you.
you start by clicking on the general statement that is closest to how you think.

Some powerful stuff against the WT
by Giordano inin another thread a poster has been in a pitched fight with others about the results from the arc.
trying to explain away the results and minimizing the damages.
what he has failed to understand is that the society had and still does have certain policies in place that hide the sexual abuse of minors.

The Dangers of Reading books
by Giordano inthe great bugaboo ( something that causes fear or distress out of proportion to its importance) of the jw’s is that you are wasting your time reading books..... and beware of what your reading.
after all you have the wt publications to read and study.
in a world of absolutes most of the jw teachings from it’s onset has been trashed by the wt society itself as old truth........ unfit for modern ‘new light’.
