Ex-JW Teens Get Screwed Out of College
by dontplaceliterature inmy kid sister is dfd and can't get federal aid because she is still considered a dependant.
she lives alone, has no job at the moment, and has no friends.
my folks won't give her a dime for college, so she's basically screwed.

by dontplaceliterature ini'm sure there are some on this forum, but i'm not sure how many and who.
i'm hoping to talk to a single mother who has left the organization without the support of a husband.
i have a personal jw friend who is in the process of leaving the organization with her two small children and is having a tough time.

Looking for Candice Conti Video Interview
by dontplaceliterature in@ barbara anderson or anyone else who knows.... is there going to be a video interview sometime?
i thought i saw it mentioned on another thread, but haven't seen anything.
with all the other molestation scandles receiving video coverage lately, you would think this would also get a nod.

Father's Day, For Witnesses or Not?
by dontplaceliterature ini did a quick cdrom search on this holiday.
there is not a single article that ties this holiday to paganism.
there are a few about mother's day.

Those who WERE or ARE Elders (Re: Molestation Coverup)
by dontplaceliterature ini'd like to hear from those who are currently elders or were formerly elders on your honest feelings about the charges brought against the society and their general policy in handling these matters.
do you think that the society handles child abuse accusations fairly?
or, do you think their policy is abusive?

What it takes to become an atheist.
by dontplaceliterature ini was pondering this today during lunch, and to me it seems that it comes down to whether or not you can accept that you will one day be permanantly gone and anyone you have lost in death will never be alive again.
once a person becomes comfortable with these two ideas, there isn't really any incentive to believe.
maybe it's an over simplification, but it seems to me that this is the heart of the matter.

Wizard of Oz
by dontplaceliterature ini know plenty of jehovah's witnesses who own and love this movie.
in addition to that, i know some who are big fans of the musical, wicked.
i suppose anything having to do with these will be lumped into the garbage by end of summer?.

The 3-Day Escape
by dontplaceliterature ini was listening the the steve hassan interview that was posted on this forum by bangalore.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/226147/1/interview-with-steve-hassan.
something that struck me is that hassan mentions a couple of times that before he released his book, if people could break away from the cult for three days to visit family, or be in an environment where they were free from the social pressure, they could be helped out much easier.
once he released his book, he said that every cult leader picked up a copy of it, and it became more difficult for him to help people out, because cult leaders were more careful about letting members out of their sight for an extended period of time.. i was trying to draw a parallel to jehovah's witnesses, and i'm not sure if i have a strong one, so i was hoping for some feedback from you all.
