I read an article the other day about two young gay people who hadn't let their fathers know about their sexual orientation. They joined a local choir specifically for gays and unbeknownst to them were added to the choir's FB group page. The setting was 'open'. This means anyone joining the group can be seen on it and all the postings on that group page can be seen by all. Their fathers saw it and went ballistic over it. They haven't spoken to them since. It completely broke their relationships with their fathers. These youngsters should have been able to choose thier own time and place for their fathers to find out. As it was the FB settings did it for them. If the group had been set as a 'secret group' no one outside the group could have seen it. Also no one is informed or requested if they'd like to join, anyone can choose to add someone else (whether they like it or not). It seems to be a privacy invasion that not many people know about and there's not much you can do if someone decides to add you to a group. You can leave the group but by then the damage may already be done.

RC Church - Originated when ? Spiritually Strong Ones please.
by *lost* inbeen doing a bit of research trying to tie in together a few different strands.. not too sure what happened to christianity and how organised religion took hold again after the apostles died off.. i know jerusalem was sacked 70 ce.
but lots to fill in from that point onwards to bring us to where we are today.. if a few peeps could help to condense and simplify the info down into a few bite size pieces it would give us a starting point to begin to re-educate ourselves to the truth.
and fill in the blanks.

Donottrackme (from abine.com)
Duckduckgo (a search engine that doesn't collect, store or share your data)
These together with Adblocks help a lot.
If you add disconnect.me you can also add Collusion for Chrome (on the Chrome browser) and it will show you all the sites trying to track you.

For a long time this had bothered me and I have always wanted to know the answers. As a christian I obviously follow Christ and he taught love, mercy. kindness, compassion and forgiveness. It didn't seem to add up but I would tell myself that God is also a God of justice. What if there are things that we have read into the scriptures that weren't there. Or misinterpreted what is said or not understood anything about the times the people lived in and what it was actually like.
Anyway, I read these articles, extremely long but very imformative and made a lot of sense. Maybe those that have no love for God or don't believe he exists it will make no difference but for other christians and some who still believe there is a loving God then they are worth reading.

Help! How Can I Tell Someone No? What's The Best Way To Decline Free Professional Help?
by AuntConnie ini think i created a monster, last year i spent time helping someone do something they should have done for themself.
now, after each meeting the sister is hitting me up for help with something she can afford to pay a professional.
i am having to duck, hide and run as fast as possible when i see the sister rubber-necking it to find me.

AC, use your brilliant sharp sarcastic wit to tell her she's had enough free professional advice off you and it's time she either paid some other professional for their help or else she will have to pay you for your valuable time.

The only time I enjoyed a Jerry Springer type show was recently when Ant and Dec (Brit tv presenters/comedy duo) set up Jeremy Kyle (in the USA) with fake guests who were totally OTT and he swallowed it hook line and sinker. So funny!!

BOOK: Jehovah himself has become king - Robert king
by *lost* ini just got my first book ... to start with.
the next one will be ray franz, crisis of conscience.. so if there any believers or semi-believers that would like to chat about it i would appreciate your comments.. also it may help any visitors to this site, who may be questioning things.. .
lost.

I think Robert King, although having an interesting website is still too much into WT ideology.
I would go along with what others have said. Ray Franz's book CoC followed by ISoCF and then Don Cameron's Captives of a Concept are a must read for any awakening JW. Once you've read those, everything else starts falling into place.

How Many on JWNet are still JWs?
by RayPublisher ini've been wondering about this for some time.
if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?
if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.

Still in.. in prison with invisible bars. Totally and completely out mentally. Still maintain a facade for the sake of my beloved family. It's like acting a part. One day I won't be able to keep it up anymore.
