This is a chart of the Canadian statements for the past 5 years.

You can see the spike in 2010, a modest increase in 2011, but then plummets in 2012 and 2013.

Unless they're moving the cash to the Caymans, those are big drops.

Anthony Anderson told this story on Jimmy Kimmel a few nights ago.

Pretty weird.

A model family's was interviewed - part of their daily routine is checking AT LEAST once a day, each member in a family of 5.

During the meetings I would be on the site an average of 10 times.

Hits are different than visits.

Visits are different than unique visits.

Books of "Babylon the Great" quoted by the Society

by opusdei1972 in

the watchtower says:.

true christians keep clear of false worship, rejecting false religious teachings.

this means that we avoid exposure to religious programs on radio and television as well as religious literature that promotes lies about god and his word.

There is unlimited "cherry-picking" by the WTS.

That is, they will reference a "worldly" source to bolster a particular point of view. But they will use that same source for so many other topics that are taught.

Oh my God, I knew it!!!

i am a big fan of the group 30 seconds to mars, and whats amazing is many of their songs seem to have a anti cult theme like "huricane" "up in the air" and others.

so after i watched a video of the song huricane, so i could see the lyrics i googled to see if they, the lead singer jared leto and his brother shannon, were former jw's and yes they were.

crazy small world!!!!.

the past number of months have been traumatic for myself and my family.. the fascist practices of the wts have wreaked monumental harm to us all - with 3 members hospitalized for suicide.. researching past events brings one to the overwhelmingly sad story of bethany hughes, and her parents lawrence and arliss.. (arliss was featured years later on a dc for her courage through their ordeal.).

larry did what any normal, loving father would do.. try to protect his daughter.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocex1eu5v6u.

it is doubly sad knowing personally one of the wts lawyers involved, and his relatives who have left the wts despite the harsh consequences.. sometimes, i wish there were a "dante" hell.. .

Fink - Yes.

I've obtained counsel.

This site gives me daily strength - the post regarding Cedar and Steve Hassam and Cedar's conference in August is meaningful.

Marc and Cora - I applaud VOUS - PLEASE, PLEASE continue!

Cedars - yours is painful - mine is even more so. (Not in any way trying to diminish your pain). I admire your efforts.

Lee Elder - I respect your partipation. Please continue your support.

The non-witness people that I have so far consulted are flabbergasted at the WTS reality. Documention means everything (I'm a "knowledge worker").

There are already Supreme Court of Canada decisions that are directly relevant.

The legal process that I have started shoud have important repurcussions for, not just Canada, but Commonwealth and common-law countries, but globally.

Think global, as they say.

Question for Blondie, Terry, etc. types - Pure worship endangered, hence the flood

by berrygerry in

Posters do you know of any cases where a devout JW was DF'd for Lesbianism?

by booker-t in

i think this is a hush hush topic among jws but i remember years ago at an assembly i saw two sisters(i am only assuming they were jws they could have been studies or relatives of jws) walking arm and arm like a married couple.

some of the jws looked at them like they had horns.

some of the jws moms were covering their small children's eyes and those two women were stared at like they had the plague.

berrygerry

Devout then?

Don't know.

DF'd for lesbianism.

Since reinstated.

(She looks good - if you want to try switching her back again, PM me for her contact info)

The management of magazines was always a problem for me.

Some issues could be all placed in one day. Others were just unplaceable, and stored in the basement.

One sister would accept the unplaceables and would often distribute 200 per month.

That being said, still no bums in the seats.

And going digital will make a difference - yeah right.
