JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WANT IT BOTH WAYS
by Perry inwhen individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.
when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.
when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.

Homosexuality and Social Policy
by Perry inpost jw life requires us to think as members of the larger society as we look at issues from the perspective of a member of a participatory government.
unlike jw life, we get to have a say in what kind of life we experience for ourselves and our children.
i will present a series of issues that require our judgment, that we as former jehovahs witnesses were prevented in having a say in and may not have ever given much thought to.
