Comic Books, Collector Cards, Coloring Books, Animation.... What other tools do they plan to use to indoctrinate children?
by adjusted knowledge ini didn't realize they had comic books and collector cards for children.
it seems they rail against the world about things and then years later do the same thing.. i remember talks blasting comic books, and other similar teaching devices the local southern baptist would use.
i can recall an elder holding up a comic book about burning in hell from a local church and blasting that religion.

Have you seen other JW quote or post links to Richard Dawkins and others like him? I find it humorous.
by adjusted knowledge ini have very few active jw on my facebook, mainly the more liberal ones.
anyway a few of them have posted links or references to richard dawkins and other avowed atheists.
today a long time jw posted a link from the richard dawkins foundation blasting the celebration of easter as pagan.

Washington Post: JW the least willing religion to deal with child sexual abuse
by adjusted knowledge inthe church, which was founded in pennsylvania in the 1870s to promote a first century interpretation of the bible and is now headquartered in brooklyn, has emerged as the least able or willing to deal with sexual abuse within its ranks, according to annie cousins, a law professor at the university of new south wales and an expert in sex crimes who is a consultant to the inquiry.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/d8a58eda-406e-11e5-9561-4b3dc93e3b9a_story.html.
now i know that annie cousins is not of the high caliber expert witness as the jw expert monica applewhite but i think cousins makes a great observation..

The misuse of historical objects/text to prove the bible is divine
by adjusted knowledge ini had a former high school teacher post on facebook about the cyrus cylinder proving the narrative in the book of ezra and daniel.
the article i clicked on was by some christian organization that states the cylinder proves that god moved cyrus to allow the jews to go home and worship.. but no where on this cylinder does it mention the jews.
yet all these people are commenting as if it is fact.
