Governing Body's excuse - "the apostles made mistakes too"
by xelder inwe have all heard how the gb can make mistakes and it's ok because jesus apostles had wrong expectations too.
for instance.
peter had faults, james and john too - also, "lord, are you restoring the kingdom to isreal at this time" - etc.

Ministerial servant mentions more "empty nester" JW couples getting divorced
by truthseeker ini was talking to a ministerial servant today, and the subject of marriage came up.
he said something very interesting, that recently many of the friends he grew up with in the truth (he is in his 30s) are on their second or third marriage.. he also talked about a more recent phenomenon that more empty nester jws (couples whose kids have left home), are deciding they don't want to stay together and are getting divorced.. we're talking about couples who have been married 20, 25, 30 or more years suddenly deciding to call it quits and it's not necessarily that they are looking for someone else; they simply want out of the marriage.. divorce does seem to be on the increase in congregations, especially the last one i attended.. it reminds me of a scripture in malachi we would sometimes hear about "not divorcing the wife of your youth".
why do you think divorce and separation are on the rise among long time married jws?.

Poll: Who Left Whilst Still Believing?
by brinjen inthis is for an upcoming youtube project.
i would love to do this on a mass scale... think there might be something "big" in the results.. 1. were you a born-in (including those who's parents converted while they were still children) or did you convert as an adult?.
2. when you left, did you still (a) fully believe in the truthtm, (b) partially believe or (c) realise it was all a load of crap?.

Have you read Stolen Innocence?
by homeschool inby elissa wall?
http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-stolen-innocence-by-elissa/ when i read it, i was very tearful because i could associate a lot of her life with mine.
the flds church is much more strict than jw's, but reading the book made me see that jw's are not the only ones who believe certain things, like that they have the "truth", or the roles of women, or the way men make their own decisions and then claim it's from god.

Are JW's the only ones imprisoned for their beliefs?
by homeschool ini'm sorry to gadget, who brought up a similar topic & it reminded me of something i was told 2 days ago.
is it true that jw's are the majority of people who are currently imprisoned for their beliefs?
can you give me examples if this is or is not the case?
