I am seriously considering writing an E-book
by AK - Jeff init is wise for a first time writer to write about what he knows, so i will write about my lifetime as a jehovah's witness.
but it will likely be less autobiographical and more about the sub-level markers that eventually pointed me out of the cult, doctrinal matters that bothered me under the surface, and the very real lack of love in that organization.. ideas?
thoughts?

Do you have self-esteem issues?
by Scooby-Doo ini have issues with my self-esteem and i recently found a video that kind of spoke to me.
my issues aren't necessarily a result from my time with the witnesses, but i do know that perhaps many of you feel down about yourselves sometimes due to the things you have heard from the watchtower society and some jehovah's witnesses.. you get told that you aren't welcome with you're friends and families because of what you believe in and the morals that you stand for.
the shunning practices, in my opinion, are intended to make a person believe that they are worth nothing without the love and support of the congregation.

Where do the JW's pull their statistics from?
by stillstuckcruz ini noticed how, of course, the public talk outlines contain the same information for all the brothers to use.
but their statistics on matter aren't very up-to-date i imagine.. example: i remember the talk about parents or young people or something.
many of you may remember the statistic it provides.
