MY SISTER IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PIONEER
by SusanHere inmy sister, a devoted jw of many decades, has chosen to attend another church.
she has been given a period of time to come to her senses and get back in line.
hopefully, she won't make that mistake.. the way she's being treated now by her former friends and leaders caused her to remark to me, "i never realized before how much they are like a cult.".

Has anyone seen "Population 436" ?
by AK - Jeff inwow - the striking similarities to cults stood the hair on my neck.
the pictures in the 'prophecy book' looked amazingly watchtoweresque also, and lead the lead character to immediately investigate 'biblical numerology'.
i had seen it before - but there must be less and less fog in my mind nowadays - since i didn't see any of the same similarities i saw when i watched it last night.

10/15/08 WT - (Finally) seeing the light on out of context quotes?
by sir82 inin the 10/15/08 wt, page 16, there is a very small filler article on a 15th century german cardinal who used the name "jehovah" (or its equivalent in 15th century german, at least) in a sermon he wrote.
sorry, no scanner.. anyway, part of that sermon he wrote, in which he references the name "jehovah", is quoted.
but wait a minute, what's this?

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CARING ATTITUDES
by SusanHere ini'll miss this site more than i can say.. i do want to post what i consider to be a success story, due mainly to the information i've received over the years on this site.. .
my sister is a long-time jw, a forever pioneer, etc.
she's also poor, uneducated, and suffered a horrific childhood, but that's another story.

Is this fair?
by nbernat inthis is my take on the whole inherited sin thing:.
let's say your parents committed a crime and were sentenced to life in prison, let's say 140 years.
now, they died 90 years short of their sentence.

How can I prevent harrassment to my kids from self-righteous dub relatives?
by candela ini live with my hubby and children outside of my native country.
we will be going home for a vacation soon after many years.
we're faders and most of our jw relatives have adopted a don't ask-don't tell policy about our decision and we are perfectly fine with it.
