  Powerful article. Thanks for posting that. I wish there were comments available underneath the article. I love reading JW apologists trying to defend the indefensible.

  FOURTEEN. Not old enough to talk to boys on the phone, but already old enough to "make the most important decision of one's life" -- baptism.

  Bravo! I loved the writing style too. I made some of these very points when trying to argue w/ my ex against my daughter getting baptized at a young age. Same line of reasoning.

  EXCELLENT article!! I hope that this is the beginning of a trend; that she continues to speak out instead of "holding her tongue"...!!

  Excellent article. I love the point a teenage JW can't date or be friends with someone of the opposite sex because they are not mature enough. But when it comes to life and death decisions concerning a blood transfusion all of a sudden they are mature enough to make the decisions for themselves. A cult is a cult because it is a cult. Don't you just love that circular reasoning? The Borg truly hates the children. As a born-in I know. Totally ADD
