So Are All Your Problems Brooklyn's Fault Then?
by Englishman inin another post, jan h said about this site:.
...there is a very angry crowd there, for obviously and understandable reasons, who will accept no dissent regarding their core dogma: that the wts is responsible for all ills and problems in life.
if what he says is correct, then i am very alarmed at this.

JW Kids - More Frightened Than Most?
by Englishman inive recently been in contact with a couple of ex-jws that i knew in my childhood.. what has surfaced is the amount of fear that we experienced as young children when we were involved with the witnesses.
i accept that children often do develop irrational fears as part of growing up, but what i am talking about here is a deep-seated fear of being harmed.. many young children that i grew up with in the witness religion were of an unusually nervous disposition.
i recall how when i was first taken to meetings that i found the whole experience somewhat sinister and strange.

What do the Catholics & JWs have in common?
by Jankyn inwhile discussing the current state of affairs re: pedophilia in the catholic church with a friend, i started talking about the same situation within the jws.
she asked me, what do the two have in common that makes it possible for molestations to be covered up and denied?
in short, what do they have in common that has allowed them to get away with it for so long?.

questions about obtaining Higher Education for JWs
by AjaxMan ini have read a couple of threads the last couple of days that dealt with what you have to give up when becoming a jw.. most posts that i read said they have to give up getting a higher education.
my question is this: is that still a trend today?
that elders frown or discourage young jws from going to college or university by telling them to put kingdom's interest first?

The WT and Native Americans
by Valis ini was just browsing the officail wt site...hmmm i thought we were, but just for the sake of this post i'll admit going there.
they have an article at the url below which i thought was hillarious.
it talks about how the native americans are facing more and more assimilation and the destruction of thier indigenous culture by "the world".
