  3 day event in London for Ex-JWs 2009

  by Terri_OS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been talking to steve hassan who is the author of 'combatting cult mind control" about coming to london for a 3 day event in autumn 2009. initially the idea was to make it all about jehovah's witnesses and support for those having left the religion and leaving their jw issues behind them.

  we may make this an event for ex-cult members in general, but there will be a big section specifically catering to the issues surrounding the jw organisation, leaving it and life after it.

  the cost of steve being there and flying to london; will be shared amongst those attending, so there will be a ticket price for the event, which i will figure out later when i've got an idea of how many will be likely to attend.. .

  English behaviour in Portugal

  by SM62 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was listening to radio 4 earlier, and came across an interesting item.. the english fans are practically the only ones to give the portuguese police any trouble as far as loutish behaviour, fighting and other forms of violence (although there have been similar incidents with other nations, they are pretty much isolated compared to ours - according to this report, other nation's fans view the english fans with a certain amount of caution and fear).

  the english are the only nation not to have committed any traffic violations!

  other nations, particularly the portuguese themselves, have committed numerous parking and driving violations.. according to a portuguese police spokesman "the english drive impeccably and park exactly where they are told - we are shocked - we weren't expecting this".

  "If anyone calls himself a BROTHER ,"...................

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  5:9-11, says that anyone who .....calls himself a brother and is a fornicator, idolater, drunkard and such, is not to be greeted or have a meal shared with them.

  the witnesses of course, apply this to anyone who calls themselves a witness, and is any of those things, yet still calls themselves a witness.. the problem i always had understanding is......if a person does not call himself a "brother" ( a witness) any longer, then how do they justify applying it to those who choose not to be recognised as such any longer?

  in the niv footnote section which gives a short commentary on scriptures.....it plainly says this applies to any who call themselves christians, and do these things.
