Ronald Aronson book
by Gypsy Sam ini'm reading his book, "living without god" ~ new directions for atheists, agnostics, secularists, and the undecided.
it was written in 2008 and is a logical, thought provoking, smooth read.. i am a bit more than half finished and didn't see any other threads on this book.
i'm really enjoying it and would recommend it for anyone.. has anyone else read it?

Today article on why Leah Remini left Scientology
by Gypsy Sam inhttp://t.today.com/entertainment/leah-remini-reveals-she-left-scientology-her-daughters-sake-2d12182441 .
i have been curious as to when she would publicly state why she left.
i see this as a great topic and facebook share for those with active jw's on their pages.

Met another poster today
by Gypsy Sam ini was excited to meet another poster today!
i've been left alone by the elders since the summer and feel like it's now "safe".
although i have a nice, small group of never jw friends, there is something about being around someone that lived with hearing/believing "the truth" at some point in their lives that is a bond unique from other relationships.. our lunch went very well and hopefully we'll get together again soon!

Held my first "worldly" party last night
by Gypsy Sam ini used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.
although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.
well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

i was so excited i posted about it on facebook, to many likes from my fellow jw friends.. fast forward to this year, learning ttatt and fading (last meeting was the memorial and special talk).. i've received my fourth email, in the past two months, asking for rbc help.. stifling urge to hit reply all, with a jwfacts and candace conti case web link.... isn't it amazing how much your life and worldview can change in 1 year?.
