for those in the uk, note they are discussing jws on r2 (shortly after 1pm) today.
they were asking to hear from those brought up as jws but i guess too late now.you should be able to listen on catch-up afterwards at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio (look for the jeremy vine show), but not sure if you can get it if you're overseas..
Naomi talked too fast and didnt once use the word cult which was a shame, but she mentioned cog dis, mind control and talked a lot about the shunning issue. No mention of child abuse either. But for the few minutes given it was probably best not to jump around too much.
Not sure if the show will come back to it later on or if those few minutes were it.
now the majority of people nowadays do no go by the hope of old times.
now the reason for this is important and goes beyond mere words.
our culture sees ethics especially national or civil politics as the rules and standards by which we guide ourselves.
Why don't you try using the quote function? People are trying to help you. Are they wasting time?
Yes, 18 year olds know everything and there is nothing you can tell them to change their mind about it.
this is on the reddit frontpage and sounds super weird.

i hope they hunt them down before they cause more harm.
and my money is on the "religion of peace" for this one too.
It's looking like far right loons not I Slam converts (for once) as it's 5 years since Breivik did his deeds and they were shouting about foreigners.
Merkels open door policy on migration is making the natives restless.

MRW I read this this morning:
this is the article that woke me up.
i felt sick after reading it.
then sad.
Good, thanks. Do you have a clickable link?
if you, knowing ttatt, could go back in time and speak to your former jw self, what would you say to wake yourself up from the wt religion?.
i would speak to my unbaptised publisher self.
at that stage, i believed.
That kick in the guts feeling you got in 1995 in your mid 20s while sitting thru the watchtower study when they changed the generation teaching, yeah that one, you should have listened to that feeling real close and got off your arse and done proper research like you intended to do,not that superficial effort you made and then quickly decided it was too much effort and sucked up your doubts again.
Oh and dont get baptised age 16 thinking you know it's the "truth" when you haven't made any real effort outside of the cult propaganda to make that decision with all of its heavy ongoing consequences.
good afternoon,.
i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.
we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.
Good, I expect more fines for non compliance at some point in all this.

Brilliant work by the police and a great article.
concise thoughts from the wtbts.
par.2) however, there are numerous situations for which the bible provides no specific command.. par.3) in the absence of specific laws, how can we know what choices will please jehovah?.
par.16) many matters could be decided one way or another, and jehovah would still be pleased.. .
Any question with penis or sex in it I guarantee they will have plenty to say about it.....
