Infidelity amongst JWs
by YellowLab indoes there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.
my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.
it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

3 day event in London for Ex-JWs 2009
by Terri_OS ini have been talking to steve hassan who is the author of 'combatting cult mind control" about coming to london for a 3 day event in autumn 2009. initially the idea was to make it all about jehovah's witnesses and support for those having left the religion and leaving their jw issues behind them.
we may make this an event for ex-cult members in general, but there will be a big section specifically catering to the issues surrounding the jw organisation, leaving it and life after it.
the cost of steve being there and flying to london; will be shared amongst those attending, so there will be a ticket price for the event, which i will figure out later when i've got an idea of how many will be likely to attend.. .

My baptism back into the world - my story
by a wee scots lass ini was raised in 'the truth ' from the age of 9, when my parents came 'into the truth'.
i was the perfect little witness girl, went out in field service - without complaint, gave talks (well the way you do in two's when you are female!
), i was even on the list of people they called on when someone did not turn up to give their talk and would get up with only 30 min prep time!

English behaviour in Portugal
by SM62 ini was listening to radio 4 earlier, and came across an interesting item.. the english fans are practically the only ones to give the portuguese police any trouble as far as loutish behaviour, fighting and other forms of violence (although there have been similar incidents with other nations, they are pretty much isolated compared to ours - according to this report, other nation's fans view the english fans with a certain amount of caution and fear).
the english are the only nation not to have committed any traffic violations!
other nations, particularly the portuguese themselves, have committed numerous parking and driving violations.. according to a portuguese police spokesman "the english drive impeccably and park exactly where they are told - we are shocked - we weren't expecting this".
