by carla inyet another serena williams story about her not celebrating a holiday.
she claims she is a jw even though most here say she is not because she wasn't baptized.
someone ought to do a real story on her hypocrisy.

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?
by Brokeback Watchtower inthey have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.
have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?
i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

Only jw's .....
by carla in"(14) arranging for elders to visit or write a letter to addresses of households that have asked that no further visits be made.—see 23:21.".

how does that conversation go?.

Not One JW Ever Actually Dies "In the Truth"
by Solzhenitsyn injust a thought and perhaps this has been discussed before but no jehovah's witness ever actually dies in the truth.
pick a year, any year.
if a jw died in say 1920 or 2020 or whatever...the doctrines change so much and so fast that what is "truth" today is "untruth" the next within this religion.

Interesting post regarding validity of CSA claims in ARC
by berrygerry inone of the key submissions to the arc was a document wat.0021.001.0001, which is a spreadsheet summarising the 1006 case files subpoenaed from the wt's australian branch and is available on the arc website.
i had a detailed look at the data and discovered a few things that may be of interest:.
although the 1006 cases cover reports made in a 65 year period from 1950 to 2015, almost half of all cases (449) were first reported in the 10 years from 2000 to 2009 and 87% were first reported after 1990.. the two witness rule was a factor in preventing at least 125 cases from proceeding to a judicial committee.. there were 163 cases with 336 victims where the perpetrator was an elder or ms.. the total number of victims was 1,858.. from time to time on this forum i have read comments suggesting that false reports of child sexual abuse are quite common.

Shunning Hath Begunith
by Solzhenitsyn inmy spouse assumed that being honest would feel liberating.
appointments were made with pimi parents to let them know of the decision to no longer be a jw.
before the tall nonfat latte at starbucks was half drunk and after her parents asked several direct questions, they stood up, hugged her and said "well this is goodbye, return to jehovah and we'll pick up right where we left off, we love you," and walked out the door.
