God has forbidden to speak German in the New World because even He is unable to master the rules of nominative, dative, genetive and all the other grueling precepts of German grammar.

those in this forum who cheer the russian ban on jw's are letting their personal feelings get in the way of seeing the significance of undemocratic behavior.

The Russians banned the Salvation Army as well, so I guess their wisdom is undisputed ...

thousands of kids are spared from being reared in an isolationist and dysfunctional environment and now may have the opportunity to have a normal childhood

Junction, be careful not to generalize on childhood experiences. I, for one, had a great childhood - and some of my JW friends as well - since our parents (2nd generation JWs) had found their own way in their belief and the org. Looking back, I think they were liberal JWs. Their maxim was "f**k the org & elders" and they somehow managed to have a life of their own. They let me go to college, have friends outside the org and all that. Eventually, I disagreed with the tenets of the org and left. Later, I found that many others had similar 'liberal' experiences as I had. Mind you, I am not sure if I am part of a minority who did not suffer from adverse childhood experiences. I just want to point out that they exist.

My state must have the most JW's!

by Atilla in

i was thinking about this yesterday and i was thinking that my state pennsylvania must have one of the highest concentration of dubs either in real numbers or per capital.

i'm just basing this on a hunch, no data to back it up.

also, this is where russel did get his start, kinda scary.

In an article on JW child custody issues by Carolyn Wah (she is a lawyer and Associate General Counsel of the WTS) she writes:

"As of January 2001, the six states (inculding DC) with the largest ratio of Witnesses to non-Witnesses in descending order are:

OR (1:166) FL (1:178) CA (1:186) NM (1:193) DC (1:196) and WA (1:208).

How can I get a WT Library CD ROM?

by alaskagirl in

friends

i have the old '97 version but i want the most current ammo, i mean info, for when i write to my brother soon.

so does anyone know how i can get my hands on the most current version.

richard

I think the latest CD ROM has a warning message that only JWs can use it. At least that is what my JW wife told me, so you may have trouble getting it directly from a JW. I can see why, though. Lots of incriminating "old light".

Previous editions also carried this warning. They don't want outsiders to have the CD since it includes KM-editions which are considered 'members only'.
