  Sorry to hear of your loss.

  As a lurker I remember reading his posts but never engaged in conversation with him.

  So I know he would have helped other lurkers too.

  I wonder how many people in the audiance raised an eyebrow to that?

  Surely it must have set atleast a few peoples alarm bells ringing?

  I feel I repress alot of memorys from JDub times, and this forum often brings them back to light.

  Heres one thats just popped up, i was given the "privilege" of turning up early to remove the locks from the firedoors and then sat waiting to do the sound board.

  Looking back i was so proud and it makes me SICK. How did I let myself become so brain washed? Was we mentally weak to get in that state? Or was we mentally strong to break away?

  i was raped by two brothers when i was 12 in vancouver.

  one was an elder who i trusted beyond belief and the other was his 18 year old son, who i had a huge crush on.

  it changed my life forever, i became a slut, sleeping with every brother i could of which there was an endless supply.

  My parents where relaxed on this front. I was allowed to listen to any rock music.

  I see someone mention smashing pumpkins. They have a song that literally starts " Disarm you with a smile" how can you link that to satan!

  Actually i just had a memory pop back to my mind (this site does that alot to me) i remember sitting to learn " the devil went down to georgia" on the fiddle as a young publisher!

  Did you actually read the bible end to end?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

  i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

  well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

  I read it cover to cover during my pioneer days.

  Its safe to say none of it has stuck in my head and i wish I spent the time studying literally anything else.
