Hear It For Yourself
by sammielee24 inthis is an interactive database of people around the world telling stories about their healthcare.
uk, australia, france, canada...people in a variety of systems - universal, social and single payer - talk about their experiences using their health care services.
people in the united states need to start listening to these stories instead of the media lies and political misrepresentations or ommissions of facts that only serve their needs...stop being afraid and start educating yourself for yourself.

Hiroshima 64 years later
by bobld inwe all know that hiroshima and nagasaki were destroyed in august 1945 after explosion of atomic bomds.however we know little about the progress made by the people of that land during the past 64 years.see the colorful city of hiroshima today.. the reason i mention this:when the economy turned south the past year,the leaders of the wbts were happier than flies on cow dung.it gave them a reason to spout off and tell people how foolish it was to put trust in this system and not god's(1914) kingdom which is just around the corner.. well the people of hiroshima and nagasaki did not put their trust in the wbts so called kingdom around the corner cow dung.it's 64 years later since the a bomb and that kingdom is still not here.what king of city would they have if they listened to the gb.they would still be living in the rubble.. bob .

Compare Bethel with the LDS HQ in Salt Lake City
by POs Son ini have been to both, bethel (all 3 complexes: brooklyn, walkill, paterson plus the jersey city stanley theater) as a teenager, and to tour the lds (mormon) complex in salt lake city as an adult.
i did bethel as a "witness" child, and slc as a totally non-jw adult.
the lds complex seemed more open to the public, inviting and comfortable.

Is the Harvest Inn (Patterson NY) owned by a Witness?
by POs Son ini was looking at reviews on www.tripadvisor.com and saw that the harvest inn near patterson is highly rated (though clearly a lower end mo-tel).
one writer even commented at how nice it is to wake up to kingdom melodies in the morning there.. .
comments lead me to believe that the place is jw owned and primarily caters to visitors of the farms and bus tours of same.. .

Watchtower Moving its Headquarters from USA?
by Amazing ini may be behind times, but i have not seen this issue come up.
i have had some contact with jws inside the organization who said that the society is planning to move its headquarters from brooklyn, ny to canada, lock, stock, and barrel.
is this an urban legend, a jw pulling my leg, or is it factual?

Letter sufficient grounds for DFing?
by dozy ina question here mainly for ex-elders etc , though all input would be helpful.. a letter that i wrote some time ago confidentially to an elder regarding the usual issues about the gb etc has come into the hands of a couple of members of the congregation who are regarding it a prime facie evidence that i am an apostate.
though the letter isn't especially incriminating as such , it does flag up several mistakes that the wtbts has made.
the brother has described me as "verging on apostate.".

JONESTOWN CULT
by billie jean inplease excuse my english ways but i've just watched a documentary on the jonestown cult and i was struck by the similarities between this cult and the the organisation.
i know this has most probably been discussed a lot but i was just wondering, for my own reasons what other people think about this ?
and if there are any similarities ?
