Born In JWs: Were You Abused According to the CDC?
by ABibleStudent inchild abuse in the usa.
child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child or children.
in the united states, the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) and the department for children and families (dcf) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child.

Eliminate Statute of Limitations when "Undue Influence" Occurred?
by ABibleStudent inundue influence: noun law - influence by which a person is induced to act otherwise than by their own free will or without adequate attention to the consequences.. if mind manipulation (or bite control) qualifies as "undue influence", should laws be revised to eliminate statute of limitations in extreme cases of violent crimes such as rape, child molestation, and child abuse when a victim is abused by a perpetrator and then "undue influence" was used to discourage a victim from reporting the crime to law enforcement?
how is justice being served when a wtbts elder is not charged for a crime because the victim was "unduly influenced" by either parents and/or religious leaders (see thread pedophile elder is harassing victims his victims, what can they do?)?.
i feel that it would be easy to establish a few criteria for eliminating the statute of limitations for violent crimes.

Another Story about JWs Placing JW.org Tracks
by ABibleStudent inwhile i was writing my 1-page bio to send to managers today, a 30-ish, nicely-dressed jw man and woman knocked on my door.
they wanted to give me a track to visit jw.org.
i don't believe that jw.org is truthful.

Does No Solicitation equal Put on "Do not Call List"?
by ABibleStudent ini live in a townhome complex.
a few days ago i asked the property manager to ask the local kingdom hall to no longer place wtbts literature (propaganda) at the complex because the area is posted as no solicitation and because the literature is sometimes blown away from doors becoming litter.. today i received a response that the kingdom hall agreed to no longer place literature at the complex and to let him know if wtbts literature is placed at the complex.
i was shocked how easy it was for the kh representative to agree to no longer place literature at the complex.

FORGIVENESS ... You owe it to your health
by ABibleStudent ini'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.
while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.
now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.

Celebrating WTBTS Memorials in Public Venues
by ABibleStudent inthe kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses is having a memorial celebration on april 14, 2014 at 7:05 pm pst at the westlake hyatt in westlake village, ca, usa.. i am thinking about greeting celebratants as they leave with poster(s) and business cards with qr codes for www.jwfacts.com and www.freedomofmind.com.
my intent is not to debate or convert "spiritual strong" (non-thinking) jws, but to provide life-saving information to "spiritually weak" (still thinking) jws suffering from the wtbts's "undue influence" and bite control.
i might even be eating crackers (and cheese) and drinking red wine at the exit.. my plan is to place up to three posters across from the exit of the celebration and then place business-size cards with "critically think for yourself" and qr codes on the back.

Ding Dong . . .
by ABibleStudent inh'mmm, it is almost 11:00 am on a wednesday.
i wonder if it is a jw.. to the best of my knowledge the following happened, but i did get a little excited during our intial conversation and what transpired later so i may not be recounting the facts correctly.. i went downstairs with my trusty sharpie in my pocket to answer the door.
at the door there was an older (~75 year-old) man in a suit and appeared to be in good health.
