80+ branch davidian cult members died in waco, texas.
250,000+ #jehovahswitnesses have died refusing blood.
stop this #cult!
I would like to comment, but I have not read all the threads as funny as the nonsense is I would like to give my opinion of the stats.
As Simon said in a long winded way..................there are too many variables to get a reasonable sample of data to extrapolate any meaningful stats.
One example of this is...............how do we know if the person would have died anyway with blood?
Personally any stats like this would never be credible to an experienced analyst, or statistition.
hey to everyone here... so i have never been one for writing much of my feelings down for other people to see.
this however has become so important to me and i may be able to help someone who dares go looking for answers some place other than the jw.org website.
first of all i would like to thank anybody and everybody who had the courage enough to write their experience in the organisation.
It did blow over my love. I am so proud of you for being such a wonderful young lady xxx
with the release of the new bible, i can pretty much say that the wt religion is no longer the same religion that i left 17 years ago.
it's bizarre.
they have a different bible, a different song book, a different "youth" book, a different "great teacher" book, and the "live forever" book is gone.
It really is a different religion, and many of the brothers and sisters are so fed up and suffering cognitive dissonance, treating one another badly all so they can impress Jehovah, but really trying to impress 8 men in NY, with their monthly time reports. So sad, I have even heard a CO couple that must have been fed up and the rumour was they were df'd for being apostates.
i heard a rumour that the uk hq is moving from mill hill in london to a location in essex near chelmsford.
explanation being that it's closer to the transport networks.
anyone know anymore?.
Tax free scam- and far more hush hush than Warwick, they are passing the plate every meeting in the uk
i have been abused in some way or another my entire life.
my dad started molesting me when i was 3 years old.
he physically molested me until i was 16 and we moved into a new house where i had a lock on my door.
Hey Kari,
Very surprising your dad showed remorse. Obviously your son is an adult now, but did you trust your dad with your son growing up alone because your dad felt remorse. If so what was the outcome, was your son unharmed during his childhood?

I have heard from my daughter who left WTBTS months ago that bethelites have moved residence already. She didn't tell me how she knew. She lives and works near Mill Hill
jw.org lists only upcoming district conventions - not those that have already been held.
i'm wanting to know how many "god's word is truth" district conventions have been held in new zealand this year.
media coverage has been scant.

to illustrate my question.... i am watching an episode of the australian tv program "q & a" on youtube.
the panel includes the brilliant laurence krauss, gay bishop gene robinson, the woefully ignorant and bigoted rev fred nile and a few others.. the early questions put gene robinson under the spotlight and to be fair he comes across as a loving, compassionate, intelligent and - in his own words - "fabulous" person.
by contrast the reverend nile is a caricature of everything that is dispicable and hateful about theism.. a self-righteous young man in the audience asks gene how he deals with the bible's condemnation of homosexuality.
Cofty,
Looks like the thread has gone off topic. Back to is the earth round or flat?
As far as theology contributing something. I read 1Cor 14.34,35
34
let the women
keep silent in the congregations,
for it is not permitted for
them to speak.e Rather, let them
be in subjection,f as the Law also
says.
35 If they want to learn
something, let them ask their
husbands at home, for it is disgraceful
for a woman to speak in the congregation
This is from the NNWT is has contributed much to human society, by reading this not only can we learn that the GB are sexsit pigs but in general religion is something created by men to control women. It added to my human knowlege today, i have not read the Koran, but I am confident a similar verse exists!!!!
70wks...
I dont think your Cranky at all Cedars. Happy Bday to you xxx
