Teachings
by poopsiecakes inthese are things i always had a very hard time explaining and believing as a jw:.
birthdays whether at school or at work, this one was really tough to explain to a non jw.
i mean seriously, makes absolutely zero logical sense...salvation it was very hard to wrap my head around the idea that a loving god could destroy billions of people; and this, after reading the ot and the many baby slaughters therein...smoking say what you will about this unhealthy habit, making it a dfing offence because of dubious ties to spiritism??

Stupid Illustrations and why we thought they were so simple... (meat mixer)
by creativhoney in- if you mix all the parts of a meat mixer together in a tumble dryer for all eternity, you wont get a meat mixer.
'ahhh' says everyone, then creation must be true... if you mix all the parts of a human body together in a tumble dryer for all eternity you wont get a human?
thats insane.

Millionaire JW's....who happen to be fraudsters!!
by Loquacious innot sure if any of you have heard about an australian company called firepower which was run by a man named tim johnston.
he basically started a company selling a miracle fuel pill that never actually worked while he collected millions of dollars, bought properties in many countries, antiques, paintings and jet setted around the world with his family.
investors have lost plenty of money and in some cases their life savings.

"Oranges and Sunshine" Reminds me or Barbara Anderson
by etna ini have just wacth the new movie "oranges and sunshine" the story of so many children from england being shipped to australia and put into orphanages and suffered terrible child abuse at the hands of many priests, "fathers".
it was very powerful and sad, margaret humphries, the founder of the childs migrant trust started the ball rolling in the mid 1980's and she helps children (now adults) to try and contact their family and find out who they really are.
she had death threats by so called christians in the catholic church and the government, both australian and english have only apoligised only in the last couple of years.. it sort of reminded me of how barbara andeson and bill bowen went out on a limb to help abused children in the "organization" and how they have been punished for all the good work they have done.
