Cross-dressing Jehovah's Witness raped and molested girl
by cobweb inhttp://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/cross-dressing-jehovahs-witness-raped-13311020.
a cross-dressing jehovah’s witness raped and molested a girl while making her wear adult women’s clothes.. david fuge, 69, wore dresses and silky underwear when he repeatedly abused his blindfolded victim from the age of eight to 19.. .
liverpool crown court heard he gagged her and on one occasion tied a belt around her neck and left her hanging from a hook in a room.. he photographed the child naked, made her read pornographic magazines, beat her with a piece of wood and abused her at a golf course.. .

book advice about the 'jw experience'
by cobweb ini'm looking for a book recommendation about the jw experience for the audience of a non-jw friend.. here is a scenario: you have recently left the jw religion and have made a friend who has little knowledge about your old religion.
you would like them to understand more about you but at this point you feel awkward about explaining your religious background and don't feel confident that you can make them 'get it'.
you decide you would like to give them a book that will do the grunt work of explaining it all; one that will give them a deeper insight into your former world than you feel able to provide, which will additionally explain why it is that you are now in the position you are, friendless, unsure of many things and adrift at an age where most people have got their life sorted.. if someone were in this situation and needed such a book, what you recommend?.

JW's vs Evangelicals
by cobweb insomeone on my twitter timeline has retweeted posts that contain the hashtag youdon'tknowevangelicals.
it surprised me how familiar a lot of the comments felt to me and i was struck that some of what i think of as jw behavior, mindset and attitude is shared by evangelicals.
there are differences too of course by read the list of tweets below and see if these sound familiar.

A new Scientology Channel?
by cobweb inthis popped up in my google news feed.
if tom cruise and kirsty alley really do create a scientology channel and tom presents a variety show, how bizarre would that be.
i don't know how seriously i can take it, its hard to imagine anyone watching other than as a car crash.

Is Christianity contingent on belief in a talking snake?
by cobweb inthis is a question mainly for those who are christian as i myself am not:.
to what extent is christianity contingent on a belief in the book of genesis.
i know there are some christians who accept that the creation story is a myth, and maybe the adam and eve story too.
