Scientology Told to Honour Australian Workplace Laws - Could the WTS be next?
by Hopscotch ini read this article in our local newspaper (online) tonight and thought what the ombudsman said about scientology's use of 'volunteer' workers was very interesting.
i feel many of the statements made in the report could also apply to the wts.. here's the article.
i have highlighted the parts i personally feel relate to the wts.. .

My father's funeral
by jwfacts inlast week i attended my father's funeral in hobart.
i was the first time i have been in a kingdom hall in several years, and many years since i had attended the hall of my childhood, but felt like it was just yesterday.
the funeral talk was quite a departure from normal, so worth writing about.

Lifesaving Work
by mankkeli inknowing that we are living deep in the time of the end, we keep focused on the main work of true christianspreaching and disciple making.
(matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20) like our exemplar, jesus, we want to be intensely occupied with this lifesaving work.
how can we show that this work is important to us?

Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW
by RayPublisher inthe matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?
", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".
shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

I decided not to go back to the KH
by Bucholz inwell, as i mentioned before in one of my few other posts, i've been lurking here for some time now and finally decided it was time to face the facts and take action.. i was raised a jw (4th generation) and my parents were quite zealous when they got married.
mom was a regular pioneer and dad was a ms. i was the little jw 'rockstar' in my congregation, got baptized at 10, was giving talks and serving as an attendant at the hall and at conventions at such an early age.
auxiliary pioneered whenever i could.

What do you guy's think of David Icke
by Star tiger in.
i watched all of this guys youtube seminar, and although the reptilian thing was a bit mad, the whole illuminati thing appeared to worthy of a bit more scrutiny, any comments would be welcome, it seemed to be as valid as any biblical point of view!.

The Visit
by truthseeker1969 intonight i got a visit by two elders i had contacted re my status in the congregation.. .
i explained that i was disfellowhsipped in absentia and that i wondered if since i was assumed to be guilty by not being there based on mis-information and an apology for assuming i was guilty did it mean that my disfellowshipping was null and void?.
(see my post why i was disfellowshipped).
