  It's amazing how much this cult has changed since I left. What surprises me is why we aren't seeing a mass exodus.

  Did anyone learn the truth from having their prayers answered by a knock at the door and then eventually leave the JWs?

  i know of one person who had a difficult life, prayed for help, got the knock at the door, got baptized and eventually left the jws believing they were a cult.. has this happened to any of you?

  and if so, did you still feel your prayers were answered at that time?.

  This apparently happened to my mother. She was suffer from post-natal depression and was expecting me. She was scared of the hippy movement, the drug culture and the perceived break-down of respect for authority that was occurring in the mid-sixties......so she prayed for direction. Lo and Behold they came-a-knocking and our family was fucked from that moment on.

  Instructions from the Old Elder's Book

  last night i was looking over the notes on my old elders book and one of the instructors told us to write this down.

  "when you want to get the friends to believe and obey anything, just keep saying it over and over and over and eventually they will believe it and follow whatever they are being told.

  when i went back to school, i learned this quote in one of my world history classes..

  We judged it as fornication because the dancer's genitals touched his lap and we gave her permission to divorce him scriptural.

  That's frickin' hilarious......well it is until you realize that we (unqualified in anyway) as elders made decisions that could totally screw up other people's lives.

  I don't recall that in the hand written notes, which I believe were standard across the world. But then I spent pretty much most of the special elders meetings asleep. There's only so much I could take learning the the semantics between pornea, indecency and brazen conduct.

  I don't remember that quote in the book, either as as a handwritten note or in the actual text.

  Perry has proved time and again that he either has no understanding of scientific principles or is wilfully ignorant.

  A Muslim flight attendant has filed a discrimination complaint against American airlineExpressJet after she says she was suspended for refusing to serve alcohol to passengers.
  
  Charee Stanley, who converted to Islam two years ago, says it is against her faith to drink, buy, serve or even carry alcohol, and that she just wants to be able to do her job with the airline while honouring her beliefs.
