Leaving the Watchtower and your mental health
by Christ Alone ini've seen that many in the organization have an unhealthy view of medical professionals, especially as it relates to psychiatry/psychology.
i thought this was an appropriate topic considering what happened with oompa.
how do you feel about your mental health now that you left?

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?
by rather be in hades ini'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.
everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.
i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

Australia - Priests could be ordered to report confessions of sex abuse to police
by PrincessPeachz inhttp://www.couriermail.com.au/news/national/priests-could-be-ordered-to-report-confessions-of-sex-abuse-to-police/story-fndo1wyv-1226428524648.
this was on abc news this morning, one question asked: "should officials in religious and other organisations be held criminally responsible for the actions of offenders of child abuse in their employ or for whom they have responsibility?"..
it seems to be directed primarily at catholics, but could easily have ramifications for other religions as well.
