Should you confess your sins?
by Fisherman inconfessing to a crime lands a person in jail or worse.
there is a very interesting out of context commentary in a law book under the topic that describes the role of a child advocate that explains how humans intrinsically want and need to be free at all costs without encumbrances.
(in germany for example, the government recognizes this basic need and doesn't penalize jail escapes.

Elders are no longer teachers
by eyeslice inback in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.
you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.
then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

Active JWs making 'bad' movies
by neat blue dog inanybody seen the made for streaming movies "the stepmother" 1 & 2?
-- written and directed by chris stokes & co-written and starring marquis houston, both of whom are active jws, posting about going door to door preaching, putting jehovah first, yada yada.
and yet the movies have bloody violence, simulated rape, the female costar's chest hanging out the whole time & marquis even kisses her in the film even though he's married to a jw in real life (who's 19 years younger and came of age just in time to marry him).
