Are JW's REALLY the cause of people committing suicide?
by scotoma inblame the cult.
blame the cult.
blame the cult.. suicide is a very complicated behavior.. mental health professionals caution against assigning blame when people kill themselves.. being disfellowshipped is a life stress and some people are not equipped mentally to handle it.

The Jackson Family Circus -or- WE know whats really going on with Katherine Jackson vs her kids...
by Unlearn inso, i dont know if this has been posted/addressed here...but watching this whole jackson family thing play out in the public eye is surreal.. the press assume that the only reason mj's brothers and janet are contesting his will and want control of the kids, is money.. seriously...mj's bros and sisters dont need his money: his bros get paid everytime you hear a jackson 5 song.
they're all millionaires.. janet is loaded.
but, the media doesnt know what we know...so they assume that the only reason they'd want mj's kids is for the $$$$ that come along with them as part of the deal.. we know better.. i believe a big amount of respect is due to janet and jermaine and the rest of the gang...theyre trying to rescue those kids from a jw brainwashing fate.. i'd bet money on it.. they say janet was trying to convince paris to willingly leave her grandmothers home and come with them.. im telling you...they're trying to save those kids.. and as any of you who have close family still in the cult can attest to, we apostates are some of the most loving, long-suffering people on the planet...as many of us publicly hold our tongues repeatedly when it comes to that cult, because we dont want to hurt mom, or dad, or kids, or siblings.

Disgusting Words From A WT Apologist Regarding Candace.
by Bangalore insource: http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/trp8rlm4l1af9sn60.
who wants to be a millionaire--conti's way.. for those that attended the north freemont congregation or the oakley congregation in california from 1993 onward (hot attractive females preferred but not necessarily a prerequisite) you have millions and millions of dollars waiting for you.
the only requirement is that you knew jonathan kendrick while you were a minor after all his responsibilities were removed from him in the congregation.
