The New Apostolic Church is quite big in Germany. There was a time when they taught that the end of the world would come within the lifetime of their chief apostle. Of course, he died and nothing happened. Some JW made fun of it and I said that it is quite similar to our "Generation of 1914"-tenet. I was already in critical mood back then.

did anyone read about cults when a jw and think oh that sounds familiar?
by looloo ini have recently read escape by a caroline jessop , about a flds lady that got away and when i was reading things she used to believe , that sounded like jw kind of stuff i wondered if a jw read it they may question what they believe , and could read it guilt free because i presume it would not be classed as apostate as it is critical of another relgion also another book about 3 sisters that left the children of god cult had similarities with jws , maybe your relatives that wont even look at apostate stuff would read these type of books .

Currently, I do not know about an English version. But Richard Dawkins is said to be very fond of the book so there may be a chance to get it. (After all, it is not that much text.)

The D.O. gave some 'good' advice regarding the internet at the Assembly
by The Lone Ranger inthe d.o.
gave us some really good advice at this weeks circuit assembly, he was talking about the dangers of the internet, he gave the usual warnings about teenagers meeting strangers or apostates, and dating websites.. but this time he also told the patents in the audience that there is software available which can monitor every website that is visited and everything that is typed on the computer, i was shocked, he was advising the parents to spy on their children, i suppose it might be ok if the child is 10yo but what if he or she is late teens, and they discover that their parents have spied on them, imagine how that will spilt the family, and for what?
the cure is worst then the problem.. its simple a case of the wts being paranoid of the interent and they want no one on it..

I hava have protection software on our 10-year-old daughter's computer as well. It is not spying but blocks all sites that are not explicitly allowed.
