Bethel... Really the 'House of God'?
by tornapart injust wondering why they would call the headquartes 'bethel', supposedly the 'house of god'.. what is 'bethel' really?
the bible tells us that it was the centre of false worship started by jereboam and the golden calf worship.
(1 kings 12:28-33).

by tornapart indon't know if someone else has posted about this but apparently mark sanderson was in brussells for the memorial, someone on fb with a public profile posted some pics and said he'd turned up in brussels, that a guy who had been sent to the bethel there had just got off the metro when the bomb went off.

An excellent book for those leaving a mind controlling religion.
by tornapart ini'm in the middle of reading this book and it's very good.
written by a psychologist who had been brought up in a fundamentalist religion she talks all about the difficulties of leaving a mind controlling religion and how to overcome them.
although it talks mainly about evangelical and pentecostal type religions she includes many others too.

Tools for internet privacy
by tornapart ini've read a number of posts in the past about ones being disturbed as to whether they can be traced by anyone.
it can be worrying to think that our anonimity can be uncovered.
for anyone concerned about these things i've found some good tools to prevent you being followed around the internet.. disconnect.me.

Is the JW religion Judaic?
by tornapart inthe more i'm waking up to ttatt the more i'm realising how much it is living in the ot rather than the nt.
jesus is side-lined by the gb, they say we are in his 'presence' yet they are the ones telling us what to do (rather than the head of the congregation, christ).
they behave like pharisees yet can't see it (the blind leading the blind).
