Kid charged over $500 to a game
by skeeter1 inyesterday, i got our credit card statement, and looked at the charges.
over $500 to itunes.
questioned everyone, and it's for "jewels" for a kim kardashian game my 13 year old charged.

I blame the gaming companies. I have heard of this before. They make it too easy for anyone to charge to a credit card. There are no security checks to ensure the one purchasing the items is over 18. If you need to be over 18 to have a credit card surely you need to be over 18 to use it.
I think gaming companies take advantage of kids and should be held accountable. If someone is a child and does not have permission from the cardholder to use the card then the transaction should be void.
Has this happened to anyone else? I don't even think the kids realise they are spending real money. It's a scam.

Holy spirit helps us steer our lives as much as a chocolate kettle can boil water. There is no such thing as holy spirit. Kate xx

I'm in college atm and I'm aiming for a job far away from my parents, if that happens, that will be my golden ticket out of the org.- RobertT18
Many born ins use this strategy and it seems to work quite well. They can come home and visit as often as they like but their new life is their own. Good luck with your well thought out plan. Everyone needs an exit plan, it helps.

Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...
by Alfred inin 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.

CAn some one help me find a WTBTS court case
by LennaB inhi hello, can anyone help me find a recording of the wtbts being on trial and admitting to their followers believing in a false prophecy.
they said the reason they had their followers believe this was "unity at all costs" i've heard the audio on a few videos online, but have not been able to find the actual source of the clip.
i've seen trnscripts as well (though not official).

LennaB,
Congrats for newly exiting WT. You are doing the right thing by doing as much research as you possibly can. It's different for all of us as to what will be the final piece of information to keep us safe out of the cult. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Why are you treated as mentally ill if you try to leave?
by wallievase ini would just like to know why people are always treated like you have to be depressed or have some type of serious mental issue if you try to leave?
you cant just leave because its not for you?.

You can just leave because it's not for you. But many won't accept this because it's a cult and the leaders want to trap members through fear.

Why isn't the world a frazzle?
by punkofnice inwhen i was a jw i had a lot of silly ideas that seemingly explained things i wondered about.
arguments from ignorance or special pleading i suppose.
actually, my conclusions were daft.. one thing i have wondered about and i don't know if anyone else has, is why man hasn't either rendered the earth to a cinder or why there haven't been more nukes go off against nations.

Good point punky. I just think world leaders with that kind of power know things would end up frazzled. So they don't bother.
