Suicides usually only happen one at a time and would usually have some family members that would be halluded it was alluded to they this religion had something to do with it. If fear of hurting a family member prevents an honest evaluation on whether or not the WTBTS control over a person has anything to do with the suicide, you will never get to the chance to look into the matter.

If what a previous poster squid was true about the BOE letter stating that the WTBTS does not want any participation in surveys, then that alone should be reason to think that prey know the numbers are higher than the populace.

Don't let fear of hurting a few person thoughts or feeling prevent research that could save actual lives.

Here are a few links that I had seen in the past regarding Jws and their mental health.

Steve2,.

I'm not sure why you would not want the media to run with this story, IF it is factually presented. I'm not talking about a tabloid expose on this persons life, just a highlighting of the facts about the high level of depression in the JWs and how the GB WTBTS seems to be clamping down even harder on the JWs.

How will people outside the JWs, possibly even some Jws, know what that these things are happening unless it is brought out into the public eye.

It could actually save lives of those that are just getting interested in the Jws.

If done in a prefessional manner I do not see a downside.

I think that if she comes out victorious, she gets 10 Percent on that money yearly. I would let it ride for a bit if I were her.

I mean where can you get 10 percent these days?

If this is the case, should the info be passed on to the local media that tells of the talk that had just finished being given?

Also sharing the higher than average suicide rate of Jws.

once in a while, usually in the morning shortly after waking up, i find my "body" lifting up from my physical body, but i remain attached at the head.

it's a very pleasant experience but i wish i could totally separate from the physical body so i could go exploring.

this happened this morning again.. .

i recently heard from a family member who is still active about the new security system in her kh.. during the installation of the digital projector on the auditorium's ceiling, she said that the brothers who came to install it (i'm assuming some from the regional bldg group) also installed security cameras.. she specifically mentions a computer screen at the sound box that shows live feeds of - the parking lot, the carport/drop-off, interior view of the entrance, the lobby and magazine counter & the 'little room' ( the 'elders room' with conference table, computer and printers, filing cabinets, library, etc).. has anyone seen or heard of these being installed in a local hall ?.

comments?.

Makes the Jws perception of the outsides seems to match what they are being told Blythe WTBTS.

We must protect ourselves from the wicked evil ones as these times get more desperate.

Our Kingdom Ministry has a Bar Code?!!

by VM44 in

i just noticed that the august 2012 "our kingdom ministry" has at the bottom of the last page a two dimensional bar code!.

when did that start?.

is the watchtower putting bar codes on its other publications as well?.

Jeffro,

Hate to beat a dead horse, but that is not how I'm saying it would work.

A simplified example just to explain it would be to create and print a separate QR code for each circuit. They all point to the same URL, just are graphically different in looks, okay.

So the WTBTS makes a copy of each different QR code and the circuit that it went to and puts that info in a master file.

Then at some later time one of their cronies that surfs the ex jw sites sees a qr code on a scanned KM or whatever the magazine, they save that pic of the qr code that was on the ex jw site and compare it to the qr codes in the master file to see what circuit the leaker was assigned.

I know it is a stretch that they would even do this, but just wanted to clarify what I meant when I made the post. Nothing to do with the actual gathering of info from the device accessing the site using the qr code.

I remember hearing a few years ago that the elders were looking at installing cameras outside pointing toward door and buzzer all to be operated at music desk.

They wanted to be able to have someone push a button from outside where and have a light blink at sound desk so he could see thpeppers on and buzz them into the building. As far as going outside once in, they wanted to have a Ms or elder be at the exit door to make sure no one could come in after someone had just exited.

He said that they have had some threats locally and wanted to secure the building.

Never did install it that I know of.
