"Mentally Diseased", Defamation per se, and US Law
by DT inthe watchtower article on "mentally diseased" apostates has caused a lot of commotion and might even be investigated as hate speech in some countries.
the united states has a different political climate and a different approach to balancing individual freedoms against the freedoms of religious organizations.
this makes it unlikely that charges of hate speech would get much traction in the united states, unless things escalate further or result in violence.

Just noticed a .pdf New World Translation on jw.org
by sd-7 ininteresting.
always wanted a bible i didn't have to carry, except preferably a more accurate one.... one thing i noticed was, remember how they'd have the brackets [] to indicate words inserted, according to them, to complete the sense of what was meant in the original languages?
i noticed that those brackets are gone, and the words are just in the text now.

At what point in time did you lose your confidence in yourself?
by sabastious inthat's what the watchtower wants out of you!
your confidence in yourself.. one can be confident about one's profession, or what have you, and still lack ultimate confidence in one's self.. fairly recently i had a personal revelation and felt a connection with something greater than me.
as i headed out my driveway, after the morning it happened, to work i felt an overwhelming urge to call an elder in my old congregation.

JWs came to my door asking for deaf people
by sabastious intwo ladies came to my door asking for deaf people.
it was a wham-bam-thank-ya man type of approach, they seemed eager to get to the next door.. all i gathered from their presentation, if i were just a normal householder, was that they were from some sort of religious group (they did not give their name) and that they wanted me to freely give out names and phone numbers of the deaf friends i know.
i said i didn't know any deaf people and they were on their way.. i knew exactly what was happening, but for most people it would just be an odd break in their daily routine.
