Did you mean can they explain their beliefs this week? At one time it would depend on the next issue of the wt, now with only a few coming out a year perhaps it will be easier if the darn doors would just stay on the jw scripted topic!

Does JW Org Have Goons Like Scientology?
by Counter-Watchtower ini guess this would be a good question to ask.

or to inflict violence on?

Aren't the elders who stalk people "goons"? Same difference to me.
A number of stories come to mind, like when an elder puts his foot in the door of someone who is trying to fade and he bullies his way in, I remember one story of a lady who came out of her shower in a towel on the upper floor to find 2 elders in her foyer wanting to talk to her right then and there (that was the gist of the story), then there is the poster here (I apologize for forgetting his name at the moment) who joined the military but the elders were tracking down people who knew him (non jw's) to find out where he was and he finally had to send a pic of himself in his uniform before the elders would quit harassing his friends. The stories are endless.
Are the elders just as goon like as the Scientologists? I would say so, they may not be physically violent but the power they hold over the mental/spiritual well being of a jw is the same. Not to mention holding all friends and family hostage if one changes their beliefs.
I had a number of jw women who wouldn't leave me alone years ago. My threats (to my jw) of showing up at the kh and informing the whole damn cong (in my own special way) didn't even stop them. What finally stopped them? A letter to NY that finally made it down the pipeline to the local elders who had to tell the women my house was a do not call. Now why should I have had to go through all that? I would thought the first time I told them to piss off (in more or less words) they would have gotten the hint. Hell no, even the r & f are sometimes "goons".
I won't even go on about the times my own jw acted "goon" like to friends and family. Maybe they need a 'No, means NO' wt rag to come out? They are like sophomoric boys who think no means yes or maybe. But then we are talking about the wt and we know how they like to redefine words.

If you ever have to see a dr for any reason tell them in private that you will accept blood and to put that in your file. I am assuming your mom & dad will allow you in dr visit by yourself at your age? Tell them (dr or nurse) quickly about the cult and that you don't agree and to not mention it to your parents but you want that information in your files. If the worst case scenario happened the hospital would fight for you.
Do you have non jw relatives you could tell as well? a trusted adult at school?

I'm sorry for those that love her and will miss her.
A question though, she loved Disney? Wasn't there a wt rag that said going to Disney and spending all the money was a bad thing? or perhaps it is one of those unspoken things? Disney and the 'magical' kingdom and all of that.

The upcoming protest at Warwick on November 5th
by UnshackleTheChains inhey all.. just saw this video about the upcoming protest at warwick on november 5th.
it looks like some momentum is building up to it.
but what i really want to know is will it have much impact?

It may not make any difference to jw's or the gb but things like this will help educate the general public from ever getting involved with jw's in the first place.
I would also suggest they give out the cease & desist letter to be delivered to the new headquarters. Search this site for the cease & desist if you are interested. GB address needs updating on it. I would love to see nearly an entire town sign the 'do not call' letter and the whole cong of that town wouldn't be able to go door to door! yeah, I'm dreaming.......

Can someone please explain the annual meeting to me? It takes place tomorrow from what I gather. Does this mean they still do fs in the morning? then the annual meeting/video? or will it take the place of Sun meeting? or in addition to Sun meeting?
The short of it is, how much of my jw's time will they take up this weekend?
Please explain, thanks in advance.
