it's been a while (and for good "theocratic" reasons ) but everything is fine.. i have a question regarding the infamous awake!

article (see title) that stated that excommunication as adopted by catholicism was pagan (already known to 'superstitious' greeks and druids) and foreign to bible teachings... i have it in english but does anyone have the original dutch text or even better, the dutch article?

would be great for activism within my target group.

after all the bad publicity regarding sexual abuse among jw's, i can't believe this tract is still at jw.org!.

do they actually realize this themselves?.

those who have been aware and informed have seen this coming.. of course it's just the beginning.

80 reports seems to be only the tip of the iceberg.

reclaimed voices is expecting hundreds of cases more.

for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.

the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

this morning, my wife showed me this online article (written yesterday evening july 11, 2016) from dutch newspaper "trouw":.

http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4716/christendom/article/detail/4337852/2016/07/11/rusland-verbiedt-thuiskerken-en-meeste-geloofsverkondiging.dhtml.

to me, this seems to be one serious step further, and together with the convention bunker video's it will surely fuel the persecution-syndrome and expectations of the great tribulation even more than it already did!
