WBTS and 9/11
by african GB Member ini was'nt that well informed at the time of the event, what i'd like to know is how the org responded to the tragedy.they must have had a filled day.
it would also be interesting to see the statistics in the 2002 yearbook.
perhaps some people believed jw's at the time due to fear and frustration, or maybe even some disillusioned jw/apostates, df'd, da'd,...went to kh immidiately afterwards..

911 forgotten amongst JWs
by fade_away ini noticed over the last 10 years that in every 9/11 anniversary, jws that i know personally don't even mention it.

Stressful Session with Uber-Zealous Parents--The Mermaid needs a hug!
by Cadellin inokay, for those of you who don't know, i was raised jw by really great though uber-zealous parents.
i'm now an adult and have been inactive for about two years due a bunch of reasons, the primary one (or at least the one that got the ball rolling) being the pathological intellectual dishonesty of the wt in how it handles secular quotes and citations.
anyway, my parents are aware of all that and have left the issue alone for about the last year.

New Ex-JW Documentary To Be Released
by discreetslave inabout filmtruth be told is a feature length documentary that explores the lives of several individuals raised in the jehovahs witnesses religion.
the title of the film refers to the tendency by jehovahs witnesses to regard their beliefs exclusively as the truth.. the documentary is not an indictment of religion but rather a retrospective.
in a series of informal interviews, former jehovahs witnesses discuss life experiences within the organization including the impact the religion had on their childhood and family, schooling, adolescence, and approaches to dating and marriage.

the power of mind control, fear and loneliness
by Free!! ini was looking at the news and came accross this article... so sad.... :(.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2034074/ria-ramkissoon-speaks-time-killing-son-cult.html .
it made me think about the power of fear and loneliness... in moments of desperation we only see what we want to see and are easy prey to cults like the jws and the one mentioned in the article.. lives are lost and guilt stays w those who survived forever... i am so happy i opened my eyes... because even though we may think we would never act as crazy as it seems the lady in the article did... we never know..
