The Context for the JW Articles About Child Abuse
by DT ini watched the "expert" testimony of dr. monica applewhite last night for the royal commission in australia.. it was painful to watch.
it appeared that she simply read some articles that were presented to her.
at one point, she suggested that the watchtower society produced about four of these issues a year.

The AAWA Facebook Group Needs To Reform Or Be Disbanded
by DT inthe has been a lot of misinformation and confusion about the whole aawa facebook group mess.. i believe that the aawa had good intentions and that many of the mistakes that were made were made by others.. however, the aawa has to take responsibility for the presence of the group itself.
if they set up a group that can be abused and causes harm, then they are partially responsible for the harm that is caused.. it appears that some of the privacy concerns were exaggerated the group is currently secret, but that still means that other members can see who the members are.. that isn't acceptable since some of the members were added without their knowledge or permission.. i doubt there is a practical way to correct the problem at this late date.
i don't see a problem if they start a new group that has better security and somehow insures that nobody is being added without their knowledge.

if so, does that make them demonized?.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientology, Similarities and Differences
by DT inwith all the media attention that scientology has been getting recently, i thought it would be helpful to discuss their similarities with jehovah's witnesses.
i know there are also profound differences, but it's surprising to think about what they have in common (shunning, deaths do to strange medical beliefs etc.).
i would appreciate your help because i don't know a lot about scientology.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and legal action..
by DT inthis international treaty is fascinating, if you are concerned about abuses of power by the watchtower society.
http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/a_ccpr.htm.
i would like to comment on a section of article 18, although many of the other articles are also relevant.. "no one shall be subject to coercion which would impair his freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice.".

I participated in an author interview and answered questions about Jehovah's Witnesses.
by DT inat first, i thought this interview might just involve some basic questions about my book, the great apocalypse.
however, the interviewer was interested in my past and i ended up discussing jehovah's witnesses and the ex-jw experience.
here is the link if you would like to take a look:.

Blood Witness
by DT ini just read "blood witness", a book about a young jw who becomes a vampire.
i'm not a huge fan of vampire books, but i thought it was pretty good.. my favorite part of the book is when the main character starts to doubt his faith.
(spoiler alert) he recognizes how much leaving will cost him and still wonders if maybe the jws do have the truth.
