by 1234 inpeople know of many cult leaders’ and their charismatic personalities, with their fringe beliefs and lust for power and how they have inspired hundreds to follow their unconventional philosophies — with often-tragic results.

by Terry inmy elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.
as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".

Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name
by cofty inall my jw life i was reminded constantly about the importance of not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.
decisions on whether or not to disfellowship an individual often turned, not on the seriousness of the sin, but on whether the incident was public knowledge and had resulted in bad publicity for the congregation.
i recall a middle-aged lady being reported to the elders for shoplifting a sweet worth less than £1- and the elders' insistence that a judicial committee must be formed because the store manager and staff knew that she was a jw (i successfully argued that all she needed was support for her dreadful family life, but that's another story).

How Could We Have Been So Heartless?
by BluesBrother ini am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.
perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.
looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.

COVID-19 won’t go away until Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton are in the Oval Office
by hoser init’s no secret that the mainstream media runs the show and that they can’t stand trump.
for good reason because trump has been demeaning to journalists on several occasions.. life lesson for donald trump: don’t make fun of people that have the power to destroy you!
nobody likes getting laughed at.. don’t get me wrong.
