A drastic medical view
by Fatfreek inwhen mom and dad and i adopted watchtower teachings during the mid 50's, the most influential couple we knew were special pioneers by the names of raymond and doris bridgman.
they were truly fine people in many senses, a bit younger than my folks, and very charismatic.
the place was new bedford, massachusetts, u.s.a.. it wasn't long before you realized that the bridgmans ate differently than the rest of us.

Does the WTS disfellowship mentally challenged people?
by Elsewhere in.
has anyone ever seen a situation where the wts disfellowhiped someone who is autistic, retarded or otherwise mentally challenged?.
i wonder if the elders give them more leeway knowing that they are not always capable of making decisions as well as a normal person.. .

Comparing molested children to prostitutes.
by avishai inhere is an excerpt from the "beware the voice of strangers" talk from the 2003 district convention.
this part is obviously referring to the "dateline" special.
notice how they subtly compare the victims with prostitution and insinuate that they are immoral?

Ex elders, have you apologized to anyone you df'd?
by avishai infor instance, especially kids under the age of eighteen, or dfing folks for questioning the society?
i think if i had been involved, i'd have to get on the horn with everyone i'd df'd.
except the child molesters

JWs and charitable work
by kj ini've read on here several times about how jws are discouraged for doing charitable work for anybody other than jws, and that they are discouraged from contributing financially to non-jw charities.
are there some references to this in their literature that someone could point me to?.
also, i had a discussion with a jw about a recent relief effort some jws did in florida.

She Went To Sleep And Woke Up 30 Years Later
by dh injust came accross this interesting story, it's old news but still thought it was an interesting read.... .
she went to sleep and woke up 30 years later .
the real-life story of annie shapiro - who fell into a coma at age 50 in 1963 - is more remarkable than the movie based on her miraculous re-awakening.
