LOU REED - r.i.p. (a special memory)
by Unlearn ini've always loved lou's music.... hearing about his death this am makes me remember when my little family was on the run.
i was a 'visible' elder in my community, so when we got 'free' mentally, we took a choice available to us that, sadly, some don't have.
we disappeared...just relocated to another town.. listening to 'a perfect day' by lou reed reminds me of those first few months...walking through one of the big city parks on cold sundays...both of us beaten and bruised and still in shock.

"Mother" knows best
by discreetslave inwhen i first watched the movie "tangled" with my daughter this scene really creeped me out and made me think of the borg.
it seems with the title of a convention talk "motivate rightheartedones to love .
.their spiritual mother (proverbs 6:20)" they want to bring back the term "mother" for the next generation.

by Greybeard injust preparing and looking for information.
i suspect i will be under the gun soon as a close friend of mine already is.
they are asking him to meet with them as they have "witnesses to his apostacy".

Difference between Religious people and Cult members ?
by stuckinamovement inin the words of rabbi shmuley........ "people who are in a relationship with g-d are humble and do their utmost to refrain from judging others.
their proximity to a perfect being reminds them of their own fallibility.
their experience of g-d's compassion leads them to be merciful and loving.

The amusing 'last hurdle' I had to overcome before I finally left the JW's....
by Unlearn inlet me add that it's amusing now...as so many things are in hindsight...but at the time it was really stressful.
almost terrifying.. see, i was in my mid 30's and an elder.
i was born-in, from one of those families with a long, decorated history in the thing.

Do you Trust the writings of 2,000 years ago?
by braincleaned indo you trust the bible, and it's scientific accuracy on creation for example.. do you believe it still holds moral values, expressed in the perfect example of it's god?.
do you believe in it's prophesies?.
then let me invite you to doctor holymann's hospital.. you can trust him with your child's or your own surgery and medicine.. he has ignored all the nonsense of modern medical science, and still operates on the knowledge he has from 2,000 years ago.. .

Im SOOOO tired...
by Unlearn inof all of these different gods...and the idea that i've got to 'respect' your beliefs just because you 'feel' them.. i wish all of these gods would all go to some mysterious island in the bermuda triange, and fight it out...tournament style...until just one of them is standing.. then, he/she/it can bring it's ass back here and i can just ignore that one..

you know that JW song that goes, 'Hey there all you thirsty ones...'?
by Unlearn inwhen we were kids, and part bored/part excited that the meeting was finally over, we used to change the lyrics and sing, 'hey there all you hershey barrrs!'....
i got in real trouble one time for that.
my old man confiscated all of my shogun warriors and comic books (the ones he could find)....
