Very interesting, it's amazing how much insight we're getting into how the mind works. I suspect people like derren brown must have some natural ability to read people, cos he gave people a 'religious' experience in one of his televised shows..

We had the letter. My ladyfriend said that the Sunday meeting would be a NIGHTMARE, sharing one Hall with four congs. She didn't have a thought about the money saving aspect though, or the lack of growth...

Millerites, Jehovahs Witnesses and Purple Triangles
by Simon ini came across this after posting another iq video to a different topic.
interesting how much the jehovahs witnesses are featured ... but it is because they are a millenial cult with failed rapture prophecies:.

What would it take to get you outa there?
by sparrowdown ini have a question for any still going to meetings but no longer a believer.. is there any situation or announcement that would cause you to.
draw your line in the sand and walk away?.
if so, what would be your "last straw" moment?.

It's ridiculous enough as it is, we have enough reasons to leave, the only thing that's holding me back is elderly parents.

Small (tiny) victories
by disposable hero of hypocrisy ini had a conversation with my wife today about child abuse as it's in the news, and i managed to slip in the fact that wt (not an individual, but the .org itself) has just been ruled against in the states to the tune of 13 million or so.
she knows i'm opposed to the procedures we have in place, and she can definitely see that it makes sense to go straight to the police, and said she would do immediately if it were our children.
we had a fairly local case where the elders positively marched the offender to the station themselves, and good for them for doing so, but she most likely thinks everyone would do that out of common sense.

Thanks folks, I changed the subject pretty quick so that I wasn't pressing the matter, I'm learnin'!
Hope she doesn't ask where I found this out from.... Actually, thinking about that, I'd just say the jw podcast with the interview. If it comes to it I could say I saw the jw logo and thought it was genuine!

We had a fairly local case where the elders positively marched the offender to the station themselves, and good for them for doing so, but she most likely thinks everyone would do that out of common sense. I've told her about our procedures, the two witness rule, and I'm sure it's sunk in there, so hopefully if more cases like this come to the public eye it may spark some more conversations in many in the .org.
I also managed to let slip that losch was called to represent but refused, and that the lawyer handling the case said he'd never seen such an 'above the law' attitude..
"not a very good witness, that, is it?" said the big ugly one .
"no, it definitely is NOT" agreed the pretty one.
Like I say, small victories.

New JW Podcast Show - Amazing Interview with Irwin Zalkin!
by God_Delusion inhello guys & gals!.
we've just launched our brand new episode, s01e01 - irwin zalkin, which we recorded last night.. you can listen to it right here - http://www.jwpodcast.org/2014/11/03/s01e01-irwin-zalkin.
in this ground-breaking bumper show, we interview irwin zalkin, the lawyer who filed and won this new child abuse case against the watchtower organisation, which saw the victim, jose lopez awarded $13.5 million.. i think you'll agree with me (after listening to the interview) that irwin really knows his 'watchtower' stuff!.

Beards are definitely getting more acceptable here in the UK. Maybe not to the old school of elders, but in my city I know of three bearded servants, and at least a dozen brothers that don't give a rat's chuff about the stigma attached to facial hair.
