JW Abuse on BBC News !
by Simon in.
details of the panorama programme "child abuse within the jehovahs witness religion" were just announced at the start of the main bbc news at 10:00 !.
correct me if i'm wrong but i can't remember them ever doing that for other programmes (although we may not have paid so much attention before).. they showed a clip of people being baptised at a dc ... very 'whacko' looking.

They Don't Care If It Is Not The Truth
by Dutchy inone of my brothers in an elder in his congregation and the other is a co. they have both told me that they don't beieve that jehovah's witnesses have the truth and they are aware of the hypocrisy in the organization but they don't care.
they will never renounce their membership in this organization.
when asked why they say that they love the adulation given to them by the brothers.. the are always the first to be invited to the homes of the friends, they are sought out for advise and it makes them feel like big, important men.. the truth is that this organizaation does serve a purpose for some people.

Belief in God ( The Problem with Evil) Correction
by JT inmy wife and i are back in school again and we are in a philosophy class and the issue of god has come up in the research material and the following is under consideration for us- .
being involved in trying to explain the reason that god permits wickness i find the explanation that i use to use from the platform as a jw to be very weak to say the least .
yet i find that it is the same basic explantion given by most "beleivers" and it too is weak as tea.

Alpha Meetings! What are they? Who are they?
by freeborg ini was wondering if any one has ever been involved or are involved in a group known as alpha.
they provide a 15 meeting course on their beliefs.
these groups and others like them have made me wonder if we all agree that wts is corrupt and harmfull what makes another group with strong beliefs and convictions right, are we not falling into the same trap as when we were witnesses if we get involved in any of the hundreds of sects, cults, denominations that are out there.. http://alphacourse.org/about/whatis.htm

Would This Be Assault?
by expatbrit inok, let's construct a hypothetical situation.. this year i will not be attending the memorial.

VERY interesting (April 1, 2002 WT, p.19)
by stevieb1 inthis statement is prety interesting.
it's taken from the very latest watchtower article (april 1, 2002) the final sentence of paragraph 14 reads:.
"if jehovah's organization knowingly endorsed false teachings, advice to read the bible would never be given to jehovah's witnesses and those to whom they preach.".
