Guardian 12/6/09: Women Paedophiles
by Fe2O3Girl inthere has been a case in the uk in the past week of a woman nursery worker being charged with several counts of child sexual abuse.
i found this comment article in the guardian very interesting, and i think that it will be of interest to others who post here.
i hope that there aren't any triggers in the text for those who are recovering from abuse.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jun/12/vanessa-george-child-abuse-women-paedophiles.

How To Start A Cult
by Fe2O3Girl inthe weekend section of the guardian on saturday had an article on the new german film die welle which is based on the infamous "third wave" experiment in california in 1967.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/sep/13/drama.
the article had some interesting comments on why young people are attracted to these sorts of movements which i thought was relevant to why some people become jws (bold mine):.
"articulating a common disillusionment, marco one of the students complains that there is nothing to rebel against.

A song for the painful awakening from the "truth"
by Fe2O3Girl ini was listening to a disney compilation with my little son at the weekend, and it struck me how this song applies to those just finding the truth about the "truth" - a painful and scary process, especially if you have known no other life.
when you rush around in hopeless circles.
searching ev'rywhere for something true.

British Museum Tours JW style
by Fe2O3Girl ininteresting article in the times online.
writer josh spero seems very well primed - a change from the usual cliches about smart dress and "all our beliefs are bible-based" soundbites.. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/article2251171.ece.
among the greek goddesses and assyrian altars of the british museum can be heard the growing rumble of the imminent apocalypse.
