It just arrived!
by ozziepost inthanks to amazon.com (where would we be without those guys?
) i've just received my copy of the new book "awakening of a jehovah's witness" by dianne wilson (published by prometheus books, 2002).. the dust jacket carries these words: "her engrossing first-hand account will be of great interest to former witnesses, students of cult phenomena, anyone who has ever experienced an abusive relationship, those who want to learn more about what compels people to enter this group, and all who have everhad contact with jehovah's witnesses.".
it looks like a good read, all 327 pages of it, just going by the table of contents.

Kind of Depressed, Looking for Someone to Talk to
by Reborn2002 insome of you on this board know me, or at least part of my story, very likely most of you do not.. i am a 21 yr old male from chicago who finally mustered the courage to da myself roughly 6 months ago.
being a 3rd-generation jw, my grandfather was an elder 45 years, so this developed a reputation and precedence for me that i would one day be a co.. or go to bethel.
such high expectations, which i am happy i never fulfilled.

The "TRVTH" may not set you Free
by Amazing indoes "trvth" set one free?
truth can certainly promote and assure freedom ... but the "key" to the jailhouse door is not some ultimate "trvth" that we must find.
some argue that theists, deist, or atheist are free due to some "trvth" or that they are all hypocrits because they debate one another.

I got a nutter !
by Simon ina good example of fine christian conduct, brought to you by "debbie.williams".. first email.
i'm glad that jehovah will kill you,yet!.
there is alot of things that i want to say but you know that jesus said in matt 24:9-11 that you would hate his faithful ones ,but to be honest with you ,we don't hate you ,cause in matt 5;1-9 says that we will be hated,so since we all know that ,than it is a pleasure that you talk about us.and other thing that i want to say is that people in the world thinks that we are crazy ,but if you would read the old testament than you will know that the jews were to serpart themselves from the other nations and that is how jehovah's witness fell about it,see when the jews would be around other nations than they would forget jehovah and they would worship other gods.when they do that ,it would cost them their lives.so it is good that you are talking about us and i would like for you to continue to do so .why?

Well, gee....
by Calico_Cat ini've been reading in search of christian freedom this past few days (my hublet and i bought isocf, coc and two of carl jonsson's book--which my hubby love to read).. anyways, i've finished reading the legalism chapter and was kinda amused at the real story behind the change in baptism questions in the 80s.
i was baptized in '77 and my hubby got dunked in '89.. so, i basically can walk away from it all--and get this, i can threaten to sue the elders because i wasn't baptized into the organization.
but my hubby have to da himself because the jw is his ecclesiastical authority.
