you all know jwfacts (run by paul grundy).
on this website, under “did the last days start 1914” ---> “pestilence”, it says:“during the 1800's five cholera pandemics killed around 100 million people.” .
there is no link to any source of info, so i emailed paul and asked where i can verify that total number?
Chinese numbers would be very hazy for sure, how many would die in a population of 430m during a 2 year pandemic in 1820s? Or five years if you take alternative suggestion it ran 1817 through 1822?
But the estimates for India place the European and North American figures in perspective. High population density, little in the way of health care. It's going to be grim.
i was recommended to this forum by a member of jw recovery.
i am a former jw studying a psychology degree in the uk.
i am conducting a survey looking at former and current jehovah's witnesses and their beliefs.
Hope you get a good response to this survey and it helps with your degree Reborn.
---
For anyone wondering, the e-mail addresses at the end of the survey are for a genuine British university and lecturer at that university.
given derek o'hares legal issues for his brave protests i have created an fb banner to show not only exjwsolidarity but also that we appreciate derek's protests.
if you have not viewed his protests go to the "derek ohare1" youtube channel.
here is the fb banner that was i created fix it to your own fb page and show support for derek and all strugglers!.
Just personal view, but some stuff seems only useful for the person doing it as they work through their exit. It's too confrontational to win much sympathy or attention (outside of a restraining order), and just feeds the GB narrative of crazy apostates for those inside.
Hope the guy doesn't come off too badly from all of this. I'm not sure if the original newspaper article gives a fair reflection of events. But don't cross the line into harassment and public order offences deliberately. That's silly.

David Arnold (prof at SOAS) suggests 40m died from cholera just in India from 1817 through 1950. ( http://www.amazon.com/Colonizing-Body-Medicine-Epidemic-Nineteenth-Century/dp/0520082958 ). 15m of those prior to 1867. So the number doesn't seem too unacceptable as a guesstimate for worldwide.
Wiki is definitely shy a few numbers - eg 1866/7 seems to be missing figures for places like Britain and Prussia.

trey bundy: one year of reporting jw child abuse.
it’s been one year since trey bundy first reported the watchtower’s child abuse problems.. twelve months ago the center for investigative reporting (cir) began publishing information about jehovah’s witnesses and their cover-up of child sexual abuse on their website, reveal.
I've found Trey's articles very powerful in stripping back the veneer and allowing survivors to have a voice and tell their story. From what I've read by American friends, it really strikes a chord because it is journalism from the US and from a source which cannot be impugned by the WBTS.
Hope more continues to be done to expose the problems and abuses, and to encourage better child safeguarding and support for survivors.
so as some are probably aware the january study edition has two articles on the anointed.
one basically discouraging people from believing they are anointed and another about how ones should view partakers.
this photo is from the second article:.
http://m.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14276665.victims__brainwashed__in___8m_investment_scam/he told investors that his status as a jehovah’s witness meant he was unable to break the law, in an effort to win their trust.. teesside crown court heard how many of the 350 victims were elderly and had been deliberately targeted.some had since died with the stress of the county durham-based fraud having contributed to their ill health, and others had lost homes and life savings.a third man the crown said was involved, anthony kemp, is currently serving a prison sentence in new zealand for a separate but similar fraud, but is expected to be extradited back to the uk to stand trial when he is released.. .
full aricle at link.
I wonder how many of the investors were JWs too.
Thanks OC, shared elsewhere.
