Yes, especially for murder, rape or child abuse, where there's overwhelming evidence eg dna.

Capital punishment, are you in favour of it ?
by smiddy ini certainly am , providing their are strong arguments that the perpretrator of the crime is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of the crime he/she is charged with .. i am not religous ,however i do agree with a life for a life principle ,especially if it involves multiple victims.
somebody killing x amount of people, proven of course , have no right to live.
of course with murders of one victim their can be many scenarios which the courts of law can adjudicate for whatever an outcome.

When You Were A JW Were You Disturbed By "Apostate" Literature or "Apostates" At Conventions?

(i guess i was an apostate in the making)..

How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.
our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.
now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

Is this an American thing to take COs out to a restaurant for a meal?
In AUstralia we fed them at home. Female JWs would go out of their way to make a 3 course meal for the CO - and that was for lunch!

Randy,
Is there anyone near you that you can talk to about your experiences? It sounds to me that you need some sort of counsellor to help you work through your trauma. Your rambling posts indicate to me that you are NOT ok, and that you may be suffering from some post-traumatic stress.
Please seek out help if you feel you need it. Or even if you don't. No man is an island.

The beer is good. Full-strength like German beer, not like the watered-down American muck! To order a beer, simply walk into a pub and sit down. Say, "Pivo, prosim" ( beer, please) and you'll get a half a pint put in front of you. They'll keep a tab of your order at the bar and then just pay at the bar before you leave.
You'll stand out as a tourist/non-Czech, so be careful of the pickpockets. Especially the gypsy kids. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

My first own thread on here. Woken up and still in :(
by Gefangene ini have been around in this forum a lot but haven't written much yet.. also i had a more or less rude awakening when i realized that the religion i grew up with, the religion i sacrificed a lot for and considered to be the 'truth' is nothing but mere bs.
it's quite a brick to digest.. my parents both are jws, elder and pioneer.
very good people but also very brainwashed.

The New Diary of Winston Smith
by WinstonSmith inwe had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

But there is one big difference.
None of those people claim to be appointed by Holy Spirit.
Nor do they claim to be "God's Happy People" or claim that their love is a living fulfilment of Jesus' words of who would be his disciples.
