There would have to be shiploads of transcripts from these sorts of meetings in congregation files everywhere...surely?
All it would take is one awake elder in every cong across the globe to snoop, snap and post.

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?
by Joe Grundy inseveral threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

by ILoveTTATT2 inaccording to apocalypse delayed, russell got many of his ideas from a conference called albury park.. .
here are the sources of his ideas for eschatology:.
and lastly, here are the sources for the ideas that jw's claim make them "the truth": rejection of the trinity, hell, and the inmortal soul..

If there are more "sick" women in the borg than men (and I'm not saying that there are.)
It may be because women are more oppressed in the borg than men are. At least men are considered useful, even if just for microphone duty. Women in the borg are suppressing more =more somatic illness.

by V1922 inmy jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

This guy is a member of a misogynistic religion, be glad he didn't try and convert you.
If you think he was bad imagine a entire religion of them. That's JWs.

Child Abuse - "I don't care. I haven't got any children".
by cofty inearlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.
a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.
he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.

This comment doesn't surprise me as JWs don't feel any kind of moral or ethical obligation to help mankind in general- not just kids.
JWs don't discriminate against kids they don't help anyone.
What do they provide for the community? Well lets examine what they do actually do for mankind.
Soup kitchens... ah no,
women'shelters? No, meetings might count , but to hell with them for the rest of the week.
blankets for the homeless maybe? No, couldn't even use the shit magazines as a blanket.
rehab centres for drug addicts ? No, haha not likely.
clean water for kids in africa ? No, let em read the bible when they get hungry or thirsty so sayeth the WT.
Protecting children from pedophiles? Hahaha ....oh that's a good one.

Daughter of Elder Reinstated Within Months!
by disillusioned 2 ina young sister in my husband's congregation who is the daughter of an elder has been reinstated in a matter of months.
whereas another sister in the same congregation has been disfellowshipped now for nearly two years!.
seems like it's who you know..

Two years and no reinstatement!
Man, I'd be asking "who have you got to sleep with to get reinstated around here?"
Which, ironically would result in her being part of the "back row club" for another two years.

Why hasn’t someone gotten real pissed off yet?
by John Aquila ini keep reading of some guy who is so upset at someone that he goes into a theater and shoots 20 people..
or a kid that is so mad that the other kids made fun of him that he goes to school and shoots a bunch of kids..
or some guy that was fired from his job and he goes back and shoots of bunch of his workers.

Sadly, some people's hatred for the borg turns inward resulting in depression, low self-esteem, social isolation and anxiety. -

DOES BELIEF IN THE BIBLE DESTROY ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY?
by TerryWalstrom inbased on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.
the bible-believers effect.
those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.

Destroy? I would like to think of it like an addiction and like any addiction it probably disables thinking ability for a while but rehabilitation is possible.
