    I carn't say from which sourse I recieved this from, or where in the world this is happening. We are told not to put certain info on the net, I don't want to go into why etc.

    One thing that gets my goat is the experiences at the meetings of the only JW recieve real Persecution. This of course is to blind each and every cong member into thinking that this is proof they are in the one and only true Christian Org.

    What about other Christian persecution? one of many many examples........

    "Fear? I know it well. Awareness that one day we might be assassinated
    is almost a constant in my life. We have been threatened and had bombs
    delivered in the post. Every morning at some point I think, 'Maybe this
    is the last time I'll see my husband'.

    I am petrified of torture. Confronted by something like that, my heart
    trembles. Many members of our churches have been brutally
    tortured...their tongues ripped out, their nails pulled, burned alive
    until death mercifully took them.

    Often I arrive at a point where I say, 'Lord, no more! I don't want to
    know anything more about needy people. I don't want to know anything
    more about the suffering of the Church.'

    She goes on to say how by prayer, her being convinced of her calling and relationship with God keeps her there to help the poor and needy.

    I think I'll print a few copies off and place them in convieniant places in the Kingdom Hall.

    Qwerty,

    Yes the JW's are guided to believe they're the only true Christians, so they're the only persecuted Christians. (Does this mean that if others DO get persecuted, such persecution is invalid because it's not against JW's?? Ludicrous!)

    Those from other churches are for a fact undergoing the persecution you described in certain totalitarian countries. The reason? They want to read the Bible and talk about it (spread their Christianity).

    It's shameful and deceitful when the real sufferings of others is downplayed.
